Skype type camera that can be used as security cam too.

We live on the west coast, and the grandkids are on the east coast. I'm looking for a Skype type camera that could also be used as a home networked security camera.

We would use Skype three or four times a month, so would like to use the camera for home monitoring when Skype is not being used. We have a fast DSL connection here at the house. 12 megs down and 3 megs up for speeds.

We have an Astak Mole IP camera that we use for home security, but I don't know how to use it for Skyping. I've looked at Cloud Cams, Foscams, and others but they seem to only do one process, not both.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
  • Thank you Kart-Racer. I've downloaded the software, and I'm reading the documentation. How does Skype find the IPcam? I'm whacking at the software now...
