[TriLUG] No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

[Greg Brown]

Not to mention that even with best cameras your bottleneck is going to
the Internet connection so if you do want people to be able to view a
"live" video stream from the camera the more people you pile on the
more delay, choppiness, etce you will see on the remote end.  But that
said you could make an auto-refreshing webpage that grabs images from
a camera that serves the outside world.  This would lessen the impact
by the number of users greatly.
