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.

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.
