I was wondering if it were possible for someone to use another person/computer's webcam as their own. I'm not asking this for any other reason than to be safe! :P

I guess I wasn't clear *-). I meant, can someone use another person's camera, whilst the other person has it installed in another computer, in another place?

A person can't just use your webcam from another location :).

It is possible yes but then there should be another program being installed on your computer first. So be sure to know what you install :).

RE: Webcams
I think what he means is can you use someone elses camera at another computer, as your own at your computer. The answer to this is of course not, how the hell would the webcamera see YOU

If this isn't what you meant, i appologise for my stupidity :P
