ip camera Pop up

I am looking for a way to get 1 or 2 IP cameras to pop up on a few computers when motion is detected.
Otherwise I want it to sit minimalized in the tool bar.
IS this even doable?

I do this but I use HomeSeer home automation software and the Script Connector plugin which supports this functionality. What software are you already running that may be able to be expanded?
 
probably not but i bet you could run one session of activewebcam on each pc and have each of them connect to the 1-2 ip cameras independently (most ip cameras allow anywhere from 10-30 simultaneous http connections) and activewebcam itself does have the functionality the user is asking for in this case natively according to its docs. it would work but of course there is a cost of X amount of copies of activewebcam (1 for each pc).

Motion Detection Section
 
webcamxp has some interesting motion detect options also

webcamxp manual

1. they have a send windows message option for local notification on the pc.

2. you can run commands, bat files, etc. on motion detection. couple that with some remote control options like PsExec (PsExec and batch file/scripts to open a browser and log into a camera. you could add 'AutoMate' to the mix also if you want to get fancy.

granted these are workarounds really; not an all in one built-in solution as a single package like Rupp is i believe alluding to.
