Hey all,

I need to do the following:

• install a webcam into a shoe-store (4 different stores)
• the shop owner want to have streaming video available (or at least pictures refreshing rather quickly) WHEN HE WANTS TO. So the software should nog stream all the time, only when the shop owners says "stream now".

Does anyone know an application that can handle this remote "stream now" function I'm looking for?

thanks already!

Re: looking for webcam surveillance software

thanks kinkyJ, I'm trying out digi-watchers software right now, and this remoteview thing is what I'm looking for...

except for one thing: you can remotely view the camera, but only using software? Is this correct?

I want the shop owner to be able to view his shops online using a certain URL
