What should I use as the server software so that someone can just type in an URL to watch the webcam? Ideally, it should support some sort of user authentication.

Thanks!
 
try webcamxp lite ( it's free for one cam and it does the trick as a nanny cam for watching my son (at least while he's in sight)...
Authentication I think is part of the pro version, but still $39 ain't too bad

Sorry, authentication is available on everything above the lite version.. and the upstep from lite is "private" at $39 USD. Still a good deal with 5 cam sources on that version.

If you already use an instant messaging service like Yahoo IM or AOL IM etc. most of them have a webcam interface, you simply have to supply the webcam. Skype also has this functionality.
