    Hi,

    I just got a webcam and i wanted to setup a page where i could go to and view the live cam?

    I want to monitor my room from work just to fun really.. But it could lead to monitoring other things like cars/pets/ security

    I want to be able to go to my site lets say www.mysite.com/livecam.html and have a live stream video.

    Can this be done?

    sure,
    theres lots of software out there for this.
    firstly youll need your own webspace, but thats a whole other thread...

    then google for "streaming webcam software", youll find lots of different types,
    nearly all have 14 day free trials.

    i did this before when i thought a landlord was sneaking into my house,
    but cant remember the exact software i used - it was definitely a free trial tho
