Home webcam viewable from work?

I was trying to work out what our new dog was upto in the next room, before we entered the room. And even more so now that I'm back at work.
I had an old Quickcam 4000 pro webcam I dug out, however it turns out that it didn't work under Windows 7. I'm assuming many other people must've done this? hehe
But failing that I was after a cheapish webcam to do this. Do webcams come with software to stream via a webpage for me to view at work?
Firstly it would be good to be able to see the stream (or regular photo's) locally on the network. The next stage which would be even more fantastic, would to be able to see it remotely when at work etc.
Thanks,
David

As far as software goes, this has provided quite a popular solution.

And your Quickcam 4000 pro will work fine with windows 7 if you hop onto the logitech website and download updated drivers....
.....or a bit of googling brings up this:
