Seriously, setup port forwarding on your router (Been so long I dont remember the specs to do it), And stream your webcam via VLC. Easy peasy.
VLC is a media player that will replace all your other (video) media players, works well on music too, but doesn't have the GUI to make flipping through albums easy. But I have yet to find a file format that VLC can't handle. I also have an app on my phone that controls the VLC player on my computer, so when I'm streaming a movie to the TV, I can control VLC like a normal remote. Yeah, that's kinda obsolete with smart TV's and Players, but it's still cool.

Then your landline connection should have a static IP address set, you won't need to port forward. Just stream using VLC.

Here is what I do: https://plus.google.com/app/basic/st...a-5eae1b56e6ac
It streams to a youtube live event. You can watch it from anywhere. No port forwarding needed. No static IP needed. Bandwidth is just your system uploading it once. Youtube handles multiplexing it out to anyone who may be watching.
Technically this can be done with any computer and webcam, but a pi and pi cam is cheap.
If you want to be able to start / cancel prints remotely too, load the same pi up with octoprint. You won't be able to view the video stream through octoprint while you are live streaming to youtube.

Hey guys. Quick update here. I ended up buying the Raspberry Pi B+. The reason I waited so long is because I wanted to see how the Pi 2 performed and then decide which I needed. I chose not to get the Pi 2 because it shuts off when exposed to xenon light and I'm not 100% sure my printer doesn't use xenon lights and I may want to take pictures or use xenon light around it in the future.
Anyway, I am having a problem. The Pi can't find my college's network, thus I can't connect via WiFi. I'm considering buying an ethernet cable but I'm not sure that will fix the problem. Will I need a router? Or is there a way to get the Pi recognize the campus network?
