Recording webcam

pudz · 06-03-2006, 12:28 PM

So I'm stayin at my gf's tonight, and my mates gona be staying at mine, in my room, where my pc is, for the second night in a row. Hes clueless with computers - Ileave my pc on uploading, and had my cd-player and speakers plugged in, a beep on msn woke him up.

This got me thinking, using my webcam I was wondering if I could setup somekind of server to broadcast it free?

My idea would be to join a ventrillo channel at my home, leave speakers on, webcam broadcasting, thenon my gf's pc,join the vent channel, and while my mates asleep, freak him out whispering shit whenit starts to get light again - I'd wanna be able to watchit while I'm doinit though. Monitor would be off obviously - he'd have no idea I was doing it.

Anyone done anything like this and have sometips?

itd probably be easier if you setup some sort of remote pc tool (vnc, etc.), and either just bring up the local webcam viewer on your pc at home, or just connet to yourself on msn or something, and watch the web cam.
