Sounds like an easy setup and works with variety of cameras. We have been considering getting a camera setup for the house and if I could get it to work with this program that would be a great bonus.</p>

Oooh! Bookmarking this one. For right now I am monitoring the house with a Skype account that auto-answers when I call with a video connection, but this looks better.

Sounds like a winner of a program, hope it works like the article says it does. I'm going to try it out when I get some cams set up in a week or so. If you get it, let us know how it worked for you! :)

I got a demo of this one from a friend and was thoroughly impressed. He started it up on 3 computers and then came back outside where the rest of us were sitting with his phone. As he hit each computer, the cameras came on. It's a really neat piece of software and works as advertised.
