Webcam

I was trying to work out what our new dog was upto in the next room, before we entered the room. And even more so now that I'm back at work.

I had an old webcam I dug out, however it turns out that it didn't work under Windows 7. I'm assuming many other people must've done this? hehe

I'm wondering if anyone has got any advice on how to?

Firstly it's be good to be able to see the stream (or regular photo's) locally on the network. The next stage which would be even more fantastic, would to be able to see it remotely when at work etc.

Thanks,
David
