no,

but does anyone have any ideas or info

if you have the webpage hosted by someone else's server (like your isp's server, or a webhosting site) - a simply way to have a webcam image on your web site is to set your home computer up with a program that periodically captures a image and FTP's the updated image to your server. many webcams come with a program to do this.
check out webcam32, or something similar - do a google search

good luck

Check out the software from IVista, it's very good. You can do live video and audio, and it's very easy to set up.

I have it setup on my homepage (linked below) as an embedded java applet. This is calling from webcam32 which heartsurgeon mentioned above.

Alternatively, use a service like the free Teveo Suite software.
