Which software to remotely access another pc?

Firstly let me explain my situation.

I have a standalone pc in the garage, with no monitor or keyboard attached. This pc is acting as a server for my CCTV around the house. Also this pc is networked wirelessly.

Sometimes i need to change programme settings an such on this pc and have to bring my house pc monitor downstairs and plug that in aswell as keyboard and mouse. This is a nuissance at times!

Which software will allow me to take over this pc from my other networked pc's?

Thanks.

I dont mind installing software on the pcs aslong as it lets me take full control of the pc.
