I'm sure there's probably multiple ways of doing this, but here's the situation. I work at a hotel overnight, the night audit shift, and on some nights I have to set up the meeting room down the hall. If someone comes in, I generally won't hear them ringing the bell at the front desk, and I don't really have a good way of monitoring the lobby area, and I'm the only one here. From the back office I can see the security cameras and most of the time I am there. But for the occasional times I have to set up the meeting room, I'd like to be able to keep tabs on the lobby and front desk. I have a laptop computer I can set up so that my webcam will view what I need to see, and I carry a Samsung S-III on the same Wi-Fi (public hotel) network.

What's the best software solution to allow me to view the laptop's webcam on my smartphone. Obviously not looking for a hardwired solution like a dropcam, just using my laptop and a smartphone.
