    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.

    I'm at college so the router I use isn't mine. I don't think I can set up port forwarding.
