Isight Cameras on a Network

Is it possible to view built-in isight Macintosh cameras on a home network without being connected to iChat?  Programs like On Air (no longer supported),  Periscope  etc. don't detect those cameras?

How is i Sight addressed in the Terminal app or on your computer short of starting up iChat etc?
