Thanks for this blog. I have a quick question. I'm trying to use the IP Webcam app as described here and have been successful with it but only when both devices (i.e. webcam and viewer) are connected to the same wifi network.. When I try to view from my work or other inet connection, it doesn't seem to work or even connect. Can someone tell me if this configuration only works if the webcam & viewing device are connected to the same wifi network? Thanks in advance.
