In today's world it's good to have a bit more reassurance that your house is safe and secure than you'd get from a home alarm – especially when you're on holiday.

The Homecamera service uses the internet to let people monitor their homes remotely when they're out of the house. It can use almost any webcam and allows you to see just what's going on at home by logging on to the site from any web-enabled PC or mobile phone.

Computeractive has teamed up with Homecamera to offer 10 winners a D-Link DCS-2120 camera worth £190.

You can use almost any webcam on the market to get up and running with Homecamera. All you have to do is register. You can then access your camera using your Homecamera user ID and password.

Homecamera includes a motion-detection function, which automatically takes a picture each time your webcam detects movement.

People can also receive updates when they're on the move by logging in to the Homecamera site from their mobile phone's internet browser or by setting an account to automatically send updates directly to a mobile.

For your chance to win both Homecamera software and a D-Link wireless webcam, answer the question to the right before 14 May 2008.
