Webcam Software Recommendation

[Osric7]

Hey everyone,

I am looking for software that will let me turn on and watch my webcam from another computer over the internet. You see I'm a student and I often visit my family and leave my room unattended for a few days, so I would like to be able to turn my webcam on and see if everything is alright once in a while when I'm not home.

Does anyone know of any software that will let me control and watch the webcam from another computer? I don't want the software to be too obvious, but I definitly am not interrested in any virusses that people use to spy on people. It's for personal purposes only obviously, just something I can install on my computer and turn off whenever I want. So basically I don't want a big screen to come up on my own pc when I access my webcam remotely or anything like that and I want to be able to turn the webcam on and off and watch it.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, hope someone can point me in the right direction for which software I can use.
