How to Watch Remote Live Cameras

Thesedays security Cameras are so cheap. Anybody can get one and connect it onto the net and start streaming it unprotected (without passwords). They do this so that they can keep an eye over their place from office, cafeteria or wherever, but they never know that Googlebot is spying over them :D
