Viewing my webcam remotely

[Origin Unknown]

Google throws various resources but I'd appreciate a steer from PH. I have a webcam attached to my desktop at home, next to me is my reef tank. I would like to access my webcam from my iOS device remotely.

What is the safest way to achieve this?

Cheers

An easy way is just to hook up Skype .. it can auto answer, and only from it's address book.

Create a new account, add yourself as a contact. When you dial, it'll open the camera.

Not quite sure what you mean by "safest", but I've never found that sort of setup to be very reliable.

Much better to buy a dedicated IP camera, and allow access to that.
