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?
As you are configured NO, when you turn off the old surplus laptop power to the camera will be lost and there is no path to the network save via the laptop.
You will need some kind of Camera "Server" (A device that eats power, has a USB port and a Wi-Fi antenna) And though I have seen those for printers, I have never seen one for a camera do not know if a printer unit would work (Think not).
So as you are configured, NO it can not be done.
Easiest solution.. New camera one that already has Wi-Fi built in.
