Webcam help!

Anyone know how I can view my home webcam from another PC when I'm away from home?
Is there a FREE software download available?
How easy is it to set up?
How is it viewed, messenger or skype or sumfink??

you can get stuff from msn for multi accounts that you can have going at the same time so you could run one with the webcam only and see it anywere!

have a look at these see if they are any good for your needs unless someone has a better free alternative

Enable remote desktop and connect with a rdp client. Either that or use vnc.

Right click on my computer and select properties. On one of the tabs there, you can select an option of: 'Allow users to connect remotely to this computer', or something like that. Enable that, and then you can connect to your machine from another machine by running the remote desktop client.

Edit: Or you could use vnc:
