You can turn your web cam in to a remote security system. There are many software that are available online that can pull this task off. For windows users, you can either install Yawcam from www.yawcam.com for free or you can try the paid Vitamin D, which works both on Windows and MAC, available on vitamindinc.com.

Once installed you can configure them to suit your needs; it can stream live video or can be set to alert you or start recording when motion is detected in the frame of view, and amazing thing is that, you can access the content remotely.
