Webcam Help Linking

Hello.

I was wondering if it was possible to have a webcam on one computer and view it on another?

We have a store with 2 computers. One is in the front and one in the back. I would like to hook up the webcam to the front computer and be able to watch it from the back. Also, I would like to be able to record the webcam and allocate a certain amount of disk space for it. I would also like to be able to view the webcam from home.

Is any of this possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

 

yes, in some form like for local viewing - http://www.usb-over-network.com/usb-over-network.html then to view from home you'd have to remote in using VNC or like. Probably cheaper and easier would be an IP cam like

I have one of those, I don't know about recording but it does stream to a browser or VLC and you can do motion capture.

 

I use a free program called "Yawcam" to stream my web cam on the internet. Then you can view it from anywhere in a web browser as long as you know the IP address. You can also stream to a file, and it has motion detection so it doesn't record unless something moves in front of the camera.


I think there are several programs like this out there, I just googled until I found one I liked.
