The system will run on a computer on your network with an IP, or it will have its own IP if its a stand alone system.





So its just like you computer, you will only be able to access it if you have port fowrding to that IP (provided you do have a router/firewall)


As far as broadcasting? I dont think you can broadcast to the internet :P If someome stumbles on the IP they may see you have a cam, and they can attemp to login, but just keep a good password on there....





But yes, you can, just foward the ports on your router/firewall, then on the internet go to http://YOURIP and it should popup the login info for the cam....
