Webcam streaming with ffmpeg

I’m a bit of a stressed person, and when I’m not home, I like to have a webcam streaming what’s going on, mainly to see how my dog is doing. At my main house, I use the fabulous motion project, which has a ton of cool features like recording images and videos when there’s movement, playing a sound, handling many cameras and so on. As I said before, I acquired an apartment destined for rental, and it has really poor Internet access, as it is located on the mountainside, only weak ADSL was possible to get.
