Webcams are nice, but where's the
sound?
There should be a webmic device. Plug a
low-noise hi-fi stereo mic pair into it,
then connect to it via http to listen
whenever you want or to configure the
bitrate, password, etc.
This would be a great way to feel
connected
to the outside
world when you're working
away in a sealed office with no sounds of
birds, breeze, kids playing, traffic,
airplanes,
dogs, etc.
