    Computer Cam in Enclosure?

    I have seen some threads in the past with a computer cam in an enclosure where you could actually see image online. Does anyone know how this is actually done?What service or program may be needed? Looks like I'm gonna be in Daytona when a very important clutch is due to be laid and I want to be able to check and alert the calvary when she lays to move eggs. I am not a tech wiz by any stretch of the imagination and would love to learn how about putting Big brother in the tub with my expecting girl. Thanks in advance for any help

    Buy a web cam from Best Buy or somewhere and get an account at earthcam.com. You have to download a program from earthcam, but it is free. Very easy to do.

    There are tons of freeware software that will capture and ftp to a html page.

    Not sure about earthcam, never used it. But a quick ftp search of "cam capture software" narrow it down with "ftp upload" should give you lots.
