    Camera viewer for Chrome - MyIPCam

    I just got a Chromebook and found a nice simple viewer for the Chrome Browser. This is actually an extension that places an icon in the upper right hand corner of the browser. When you click on the icon a window pops up with the cameras that you have selected. This thing is quick, it takes...
