It'd require the use of something to split the stream and send to two 
places at once... if you were to write a little app that read frames 
from the webcam and then wrote them both to a disk file and a UDP 
network socket...

You could also use one of those security-camera solutions with a DVR, 
where you can use the laptop browser to interact with that. I don't know 
how well those handle the features you're looking for, but I can't 
imagine that it'd be difficult to implement them.
