Hiyall

Have a MV1000 too - must admit - the web interface is a bit pants... but
- if you use PC software/browser to grab the stills from it rather than
a stream - then it seems better  - I am just grabbing single images at
the mo (admittedly only one cam connected for testing) but will be using
it with apache rev proxy so it looks like one server feeds all... If you
wanted to get a 'movie' then I guess you can just grab lots of stills
quickly :-) - dunno if the overhead on the MV's is greater when its
streaming rather than doing stills...

maybe helpfull?
Wayne.
