I've got an Axis camera with a network interface and a
built-in server. It's all self-contained, although in the
typical home networking situation in which you've got a NAT
(they call 'em "routers"), you need to map addresses in the
NAT for external access.

A long time ago I had a camera that plugged into a video
capture card on a server in my house and I ran a piece of
software called "camserv." You don't want to do that.

However, I once bought a cheapie Logitech camera that came
with software to send video to somebody-or-other's server
and then to access it you go to that server. I'd probably
research that route.

Couldn't you just record it to a video, and then review it later?

You should still be able to record video using your computer.

When you do figure it out, watch your frame rate - it doesn't
take long before you've eaten up the upload limit your ISP may
enforce.

When my RockyCam was going, I set it for a fairly slow frame
rate (they're only sleeping), but even that was a lot. Finally,
I just set the camera to upload when the page refreshed, then
set the page to refresh every N seconds.

Nowadays there are plenty of options, including webcam portals
which appear to take care of all the nuts'n'bolts for you.
