Remote survilance using Web cam
Hi,
We have two computers one in shop and one in home. We have web cams attached in both of the systems. We are also connected to Internet. We would like to have remote survilence in Shop from home. What would be the best software to use? is there some thing that exist free? Also we have multiple cameras in shop. so will we be able to switch in between cameras?
Thanks for help.

Dear Shannon,
I am using Vista in shop. I came to know an interesting fact about this.
See my Net provider gets connectivity from some one and distributes it among us. So the IP assigned to us is a local IP assigned within this network. So how can i make my computer to be open to internet?
Did my question made any sense?

yes, that makes sense. You'll have to talk to the administrator of your network and have him configure the router or Windows Routing and Remote Access server to forward port 3389 to your Vista machine's IP address. If another server on your network is already using terminal services over port 3389, then you can configure your home PC to use remote desktop connection over a different port, such as 3399 for example, and then have the admin forward 3399 traffic to your Vista's IP address

Thanks in advance.

What does your shop network look like? You'll need to open port 3389 on your shop's firewall/router to allow incomming RDP connections from your home PC to your shop PC. Then it will be just like using your shop's PC, but from home!
