How to Access an iMac Camera Remotely
Download and install a remote-viewing program on the iMac. The LogMeIn Ignition program is one suitable option (see Resources). Launch the remote-viewing program by double-clicking its icon inside of the 'Applications' folder that is inside the main hard drive.
Go to the remote-viewing program's website. Click on the 'Registration' button. Fill in the required registration information in the appropriate text fields. Enter a user name and password in the appropriate text fields. Press the 'Register' button to complete the registration process. Quit the Web browser.
Click once on the remote viewing program's window to make it active. Select 'Registration' from the 'File' drop-down menu. Enter the user name and password you had created at the Web page earlier into the text fields of the window that appears. Press the 'OK' button to exit the window.
Click the 'Sleep/Wake' button at the top of the Apple device, for example, an iPad, that will view the iMac's camera remotely. Swipe the slider on the screen to go to the Home menu. Tap the 'App Store' icon to launch the program.
Tap the 'Search' icon to bring up a text field. Enter the name of the remote viewing program that is installed on the iMac in the text field using the onscreen keyboard. Tap the remote viewing program's name when it appears in a column beneath the text field.

Enter your user name and password in the appropriate text fields on the screen. Tap the 'Save User name/Password' check-box on the screen. Tap the 'Go' or 'Start' button on the screen.
