ANy way to share a webcam on my network?

[Kelemvor]

I have a couple cheapie web cams and I want to use one with a laptop as a way to keep an eye on what's going on in a different room of my house. I don't want to use a web chat via Google Talk or something like that as it is always laggy since it has to go out and right back to me.

Is there any way I can share a web came over my own home network somehow that anyone knows of?

Thanks.

this can be set up using MSN messenger using 2 conventional webcams.

these programs (like Skype, i prefer MSN) encode video "on the fly" so it
takes a fair amount of computer power for them to work good.
