I do this with my mv1000. It seems to cope with me grabbing an image
every 5 minutes, and I can still go in via the web frontend to get it to
re-aquire the camera (which it seems to need about once every two
months). I tested it with 1 image per minute and that was fine too.
Doubt you could manage "movie" rates from it though...
