Plug in webcam, run streaming video server on that machine, connect to it from other machine. Internet is irrelevant.

Websearch "streaming video server". You'll find mention of multiple programs for the purpose, some free and some purchased. I haven't tried any of them in video mode, but "if it happens, it must be possible."
Getting it installed and running is something you'll have to work our, with help from the software's authors and user community. Or get a local friend who has a bit more experience to assist.
(I've done streaming audio using Windows Media Server -- just because it was available and free -- and it worked well enough. Next time I'd probably go with Shoutcast or something else more sophisticated. I haven't looked at whether either of those will also stream video.)
