About a year ago, I bought my parents a Phillips digital frame with wireless which (8FF3WMI) could read directly from a feed with no third party software. As long as you don't use the URL anywhere else, no one will be able to find it.
I built a small web interface for it where we can all upload pictures. My family is in different parts of the world so it's nice to send the pictures right into my parents' living room with two mouse clicks.
The frame re-scans the feed about every 10 minutes.
I did something similar with the Philips frame, bought one for my parents and my in-laws and they both have their own dedicated galleries in a self-hosted Gallery2 installation, which allows me and the rest of my family to upload through the web, via email or directly from windows with the 'publish to the web' feature. Works great. Only complaint that I have with this frame is that it reloads every image every time it's shown, rather than caching it. Don't know why, it does cause high bandwidth usage :/
