LiveStream Broadcaster is a program that allows you to control your web camera from your mobile phone or remotely via the Web.

The program itself works as a simple server that is responsible for issuing, via the Internet, a flow of images captured by the webcam installed and pre-configured on your system. Thanks to this server, you can connect to your camera from your mobile phone, available through a Symbian applicationhere. The problem is that the service is not particularly stable - you'll often suffer dropped images, slow loading times and sometimes complete crashes. On the plus side, the interface is extremely user friendly meaning that even the most novice user should have no problems setting using it. The setup process in particular is very straightforward. A more important question for me though is why you'd want to control your webcam from your mobile. The only feasible use I can think of is for home security or monitoring who is using your computer in which case, you'll find this an easy to use if not hugely reliable solution.

An easy way to control your webcam from your mobile although don't expect it to hold the connection.

Move Action is designed to allows your webcam to detects motion and set it up as a security camera.

This can be used to trigger a blocking mechanism on your PC or signal an alarm. Alarms can either be sent via e-mail or even text to warn you of intruders. The PC blocking function works by blocking your PC and requiring a password to access it again. It can also save webcam shots in JPG format and then send them submit them by mail or transfer them by FTP, play a sound file or run external applications. However, as impressive as this is, the most intriguing feature of this program is that it can compare two images captured at different intervals. This way you can monitor a site without having to look at the videos on the camera constantly. This saves you sitting there for hours on end monitoring and is great if you need to use evidence to prosecute or charge someone.

A great little program for those concerned with security although the configuration is rather complicated.
