Is there a way that I can open my webcam on my iMac and be able to see if from another computer? If so, how would I do that? Is this just something I can do by remoting in? If so, how would I remote into my computer from another computer that isn't on my home network?

Here's a You Tube video where the dude explains how to do it.

Unfortunately the website he indicates in the video is no longer active. So here's a website to go to…to get the app (I think that it's the same app…or very similar):

My Webcam Broadcaster

Give it a try.:)

Hey, thanks Nick! Much appreciated.

If you give it a try. Please post your results. I've been interested in doing this in the past. But with so much to do…never really got to doing it.:)

Thanks,

- Nick
