Is there an app for the iPhone to open my iMac's isight camera?

I would like to be able to remotely view my mac's isight camera from my iPhone in order to check in what is going on at my house like when a babysitter is here? Is there an easy app for that? Preferably one that does not light up the green isight light so I can be inconspicuous?

iPhone 4, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

The solution would have to start with software on your computer. I can't recommend any myself. I know that there are multi-cam consumer systems that use a secure web site that allow you to login and view with your iPhone (using a web page) and there may be a similar solution out there.


You mention without the light being activated next to the iSight camera. As I understand it, when the camera is activated so is the light and this is a physical thing, not something programmed. So I would have to say no to that.
