    Hi, My sister has a newborn. They want to be able to see the baby from another room also (in both rooms there's a computer).
    So I put a web camera in the baby's room, plug it to the computer that is in the same room.
    The question is - what sofware is needed to be able to see on that web camera on another computer that is on the same lan?
    Thank you.

    Why not just use a webcam?

    This may help if streaming software isn't included, but you can probably get freeware stuff:

    Two options

    Window Media Encoder 9 (see Baldrick's Guide) with WMP or another player.
