Webcams and live feeds

Hi All

very weird question here but stick with me....

Can someone explain what i need to set up a web stream so i can watch it online, live through the day, we have an ill pet and i want to set up the camera in the corner of the cage so i can keep an eye on her.

I have a laptop, decent broadband and an account with justin tv, do i just need a decent webcam and thats it?

(also i can control my Laptop from work so that should help if the camera crashes)

Would a webcam like this be ok?

Thanks


(told you it was weird!!)

Why don't you use Skype, set it to autoanswer with video. Most webcams will work with Skype.

All you do is then call your home registered name, you need another for for your laptop. Easily done.
