Yawcam

Have you ever been at work and just wished that you could check on your home or pet from time to time? I have just the solution, and it's FREE! There is a great program called Yawcam that allows you to access your pc webcam from any browser.

It also allows you to set the camera on motion detection so that if there is any motion within the camera's view, it will take a snapshot. Yawcam can be setup so that the snapshot taken will then be forwarded to an email address, or cell phone address.

I have been using this software for about a year and I love it! You may need to do some port forwarding if you find that you are having trouble accessing the cam from an external computer not on your local network. If you have any questions about port forwarding, checkout portforward.com
