Its possible if that cam is one of the many which allow you to set it up to log directly into your local wireless network, with its own IP address. Then with port forwarding setup in your router, to make that IP address accessible via the internet using your router IP and the port number together.
I have a couple of IP cameras at both my winter & summer homes, that I monitor online when I leave them vacant for several months. The only devices left on are the router and the cameras. Of course you need an active internet connection at that end.
Some cameras do come with their own proprietary software but you don't really need it for a basic wireless IP cam setup.

Ok, I know I can log into my router remotely via IP address, username and password. I'm editing my post with more information. I have a Logitech USB webcam currently plugged into an old surplus laptop that is on my wireless network. I would like to link the webcam with my network, if possible, without having to leave the computer on 24/7. Can I do this? If so, what hardware and software would I use to view the webcam?
