Re:Webcam solution with authentication? (Score 1)

Can some fellow /.'s recomend a webcam software that can stream to mutiple users (not just on a subnet or internal network) and has good authentication to prevent unauthorised viewing of the streams?

Depending on your application you may be interested in flexTPS, a GPL "flexible TelePresence System" intended for streaming telemetry data from various devices, primarily IP-enabled webcams, to web-based clients with various levels of authentication. Although the software is only packaged in RH Linux RPM form, I understand the only real environmental requirements are Perl and Apache and it should be fairly distro-agnostic. (Disclaimer: I am not involved in flexTPS development or application.)
