Free webcam streaming tool?

murphaph · 2010-02-12 08:24:42

Hi all, Does anyone know of something I could install on a windows machine, that would upload the image of the attached webcam, so that I could remotely view my office from a web browser anywhere in the world? Specs: Must be automatic and run in background Must require a password for authentication

I think Webcam XP should do the trick. Have used it in the past.

Cheers, but the free version doesn't support access control, so anyone can view the stream. Shame,otherwise a nice utility.

Probably a way of running VLC over SSH or other VPN link

VLC does the streaming

and use the other stuff for the secure connection
