I want to get a webcam, and stream it to a website so that I can watch it at work during the day.

The reason for this is because our dog likes to climb out of her prison/playpen and I want to keep an eye on her, so the camera will be on her prison all day.

I specifically need advice on streaming the video: where can I do this for free, and if it is reliable? Has anyone had success with doing this via mac (my gf has a mac laptop, but it's old. I have a desktop but it's in another room and I don't want to run a USB for 50+ ft...)

Please give me any tips you have!
