Title: web cam questions
Post by: Vinay on June 22, 2005, 12:25:25 PM

Hey, i had a general question here. im doing some work for a friend and it deals with webcams. so this is the current situation. he wants to put a webcam in his clients house who lives a good distance away, and he wants to be able to view it from his computer at work/home. how would i go about setting this up and what would be involved? anyhelp whatsoever would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Kinky.

You would have to connect any [simple] webcam to the computer, leave the computer on and most likely use a program that allows you to remotely connect. As Merlin pointed out.

something as simple (and free) as Yahoo Messenger will allow you to do that.
