Remote iSight camera
Is there a way to have an iSight camera at one location and monitor what it sees on a Mac at another location a thousand miles away?
PowerBook G4, iMac 20", Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Hello John Veatch,
Yes you can.
But you still need to have a computer attached to the iSight to do that. By itself, the iSight has no means to do anything except send FW packets to a Mac OS computer. The software, like that shown below would take care of sending the picture to where you want to monitor it.
If you had a new Mac laptop with the built-in iSight, that would work. But iSight alone is not going to do what you are asking.

And do post back and let us know how it all works out.
