Watch your Webcam at home from anywhere

Turning your webcam  into a surveillance device so you can watch whats going on in your room or wherever the webcam is set, is an excellent thought specially if you can watch it from anywhere. Below is a list of such software and online utilities that help you do so.

My Camera Link

MyCameraLink is one such online utility which turns your webcam into a security guard by giving you a link to watch your video live and password protect it so nobody else can see it. It also sends email notification when a motion is detected before the webcam which makes sure you get notified even if you are not watching.
How to Setup Webcam with MyCamera Link :

• Go to MyCameraLink.com and click “Okay Let me see” link.
• Next you need to give the site permission to use your webcam, say yes.
• This will start live streaming of your camera for which you get a unique URL.
• This URL can be password protected
• You can turn on Motion Detection.

I tried watching this on iPad and it worked once I entered the correct password.
