Using Webcams for Security

Webcams have a number of uses in communicating with others via the Internet, but many overlook what they can do from a security standpoint.
While many alarm companies are now offering web-based options for monitoring your home or business, there are a number of simple, off-the-shelf options that will allow you to do the same without having to pay your alarm company.

What do you need to get started? What are some of the more common uses? Is this a Do It Yourself project, or do I need to hire someone?

Listen in as the Data Doctors discuss all of the possibilities of using webcams as an extra pair of eyes in the virtual world.
