Webcams are a great online communication tool for conducting online meeting or simply chatting with friends face to face across the globe, but the humble webcam can also be great security device.

Using a free program called My Webcam Broadcaster you can quickly setup your computer’s camera to capture what’s going when you’re not there.

Maybe you want to keep an eye on the pets from work…or to catch a potential thief, the program will stream your camera’s video feed live on the web either for just you…or if you choose, anyone to see.

You can even view your webcam from many smartphone devices such as an iPhone or Blackberry. Get more information on at www.eyespyfx.com.
