I use GotoCamera's free webcam software. I've set up a wireless webcam in my living room, facing the front door. I had downloaded the free software from GotoCamera's website and now, i regularly watch my home when i'm away at work. worth giving it a shot. http://gotocamera.com/
I like to use my webcam to automatically upload everything it sees and hears via FTP to a pre-defined webserver acting like a spy camera un-attended so I can view everything what happens inside my private room for sneaking and un-authorized persons.
