Streaming my WebCam over my home network

Ch5Micky · 18-10-2004

I have a Creative webcam 3 and I have it hooked up to my PC which is my gateway pc downstairs and it is pointed to my front door.

What I wanted was to be able to see knocking at my front door if im on my upstairs pc which is my main pc so that I dont have to run downstairs if its someone I dont know or if its an annoying Jehovah Witness.

Is there any software that I can use that will let me share my WebCam over my home network so that I can check to see who is knocking on my door.

Thanks in advance.

netmeeting, but you gotta run to the other end to accept the call and then just leave it running

Hey man!!

Jehovah's Witnesses are not annoying YOU IDIOT....

I am not jehova's witness but what you have said had targeted a wrong portion of my senses...

You can try Broadcam, it handles all the stream compression, you can set up multiple live streaming camera and you can also load pre-recorded video. Anyone can view the streams with their default media player.
