Morning.
I know there are techies among you, and I wonder if any of you can help me find a solution.
I need to set up a monitoring system. It is for indoor use to help us keep an eye on a rather unwell relative.
We need to have 2 cameras running from the same pc. This already could create conflicts, so I may need a workaraound.
These webcams both need to have a constant stream flowing out, and will be accessible via a login page from more than one person at a time.

The login page I have no problem with once we have the backbone of this in place.

The things I am unsure on are;

The easiest way to have two webcams running from the same pc,
Having the constant double stream running.

I know msn et al would be unsuitable as they would time out and allow only one connection and one webcam. Would it be better to run through a dedicated URL and server, and would this need specialised software installed? I have the URL we could run this through already if that is the way to go.

Installing a server on the pc in the flat is no problem if needed.

We need to achieve this a cost effectively as possible.

Many thanks to anyone who may be able to help point me in the right direction here.

If you don't mind me asking, what's wrong with your relative? Are they very sick?
