I've never run a web server but I do use ssh a lot.
Could you use putty from Windows to run ssh? Can it forward X somehow
to Windows (never used a recent windows)?
If I was doing this remotely from a unix/linux box, I'd run ssh -X and
run a web browser on the local (webcam) box and have it display on my
remote box. I don't know if windows can do this.
This would permit the remote 'pull' with full security.
As for having the webcam app mail you notice of motion, it could just
email you the picture too.
