A friend of mine has a business where, from time to time, would like to go online from his home and check out the status from an online camera which is installed at his place of work. What software is out there that any of you might recommend for this purpose? Is there a user-friendly software out there that will allow him to log on remotely to view the live web-cam installed at his place of work. Lately he has been getting false alarms of a breach of the premises at his work (getting calls from the police in this regard) and would like to avoid going to his work on person but rather simply log on to a remote camera. Your suggestions and opinions are appreciated.

Also, is there a way to back-up the video feed in a simple fashion?
