Webcam application

[siva babu]

Hi,
I want to develop a webcam chating application like yahoo messenger webcam chat. I'm able to access the webcam attached to my system. But I want to access the webcam attached to remote system using webserver. For that i'm thinking like images of the remote system webcam have to be captured and uploaded them to the server. Then I'll access those images from the server then display them on my system.
Is it a right way to aproach? if not suggest me right way.
If it is correct, how to upload the images to the server.
Can I use Applets and Servlets for this application?
Please suggest me a right method to develop this application.
Looking forward for reply from all of u.
Regards,
Siva Babu.
