Multiple cameras, multiple computers

[shrike2000]

I have many PCs around my house with webcams, and sometimes I have more than one camera attached to a couple of the computers. I would like to know what I can use to put the live video from all of those cameras available on screen simultaneously. I'd love to put this functionality into my personal website and perhaps create a home made video surveillance system out of it.

It really depends on how you're hosting them, but I'm sure you could have various "ip camera servers" running on a single machine, then have the video feeding to different network ports. You know, have one camera on 8000, another on 8001, 8002, etc... As for actual software, though, I'm not sure. There are plenty that can be found using google, both free and not.

Well, right now they're either built-in webcams or simply external USB webcams on PCs. I did a lot of google searching and saw a lot of software for webcams, but I just couldn't find anything that fit what I was looking for. Either that, or I didn't understand what I was seeing.
