I don't think you will be able to that as easily as you think?

I would imagine that you would need to get a DVR unit with Networking.

I have worked with a few different types of these units & to be honest I didn't find them great.

I dont really want to record in the house, I can use a machine in work to do that.

So basically a laptop and webcam linked to the web then i can use my machine in work to view the stream.
