Hey just curious on the accesability of a webcam. Basically what I want to know is when using a webcam is it possible to have it connected directly to the internet without being connected to a physical computer 1st. Just broadcasted directly from the cam to a site. Thank you in advance

Yes. These standalone cameras connect directly to the internet and are usually controlled through a web browser.

Here's some examples:
