setting up a video cam on the PC?
Was wondering, I have a working PC cam, that my wife uses to video chat with her parents in Germany...
Is it possible to to that camera up to watch my 3 dogs while there home alone, maybe via the iPhone (internet), or my laptop? How would that be done? Guess I have the hardware needed, but what software would be best for that?
Thx in advance.Magnum

You could use Skype I think. Install it on your machine at home and set skype to automatically answer and select the web cam in Skype video options. Create a new account (something like magnumdogwatcher) and use that account at home. Use your regular account to call the home account.

Here is a tutorial on how to do something like what you want from Cisco.
