Webcam pan/tilt/zoom for Mac OSX
January 1, 2006 12:46 PM   Subscribe

I am looking for a webcam to use with mac osx(10.4.3). I travel quite a lot and I want to see our new baby from the road. I would like to be able to pan/tilt and poss zoom. Where can I go online? What software should I be getting? What camera? I know this can't be too complicated, I find myself having a hard time. Maybe it is the sleep deprivation cause by our newborn. I appreciate any advice in advance. Happy New Year all!!!

Ideally this webcam could be self-contained and wireless, as I would like to not have to run a long firewire or usb cable to the crib area.

Best answer: Axis 213 PTZ

SMC Wireless Bridge

Free DNS

will let you run a network camera on your home's wireless network and make it available from the web via a consistent IP name you've already registered (i.e. you can access this anywhere on the road).
