I haven't changed the port yet as I thought I would look at the proxy
settings within my web browser at work first.
It was quite strange testing it over my mini LAN. While I was watching the
stream on my other computer my son decided to make a fool of himself in
front of the camera. There is just enough delay in the stream that when he
ran to the room I was in, it almost appeared as if he was in two places at
the same time.
