Fw: Re: IP Cams - do they stream ?

["Juan Amador" <juane@xxxxxxx>]

Gareth, motivated by your friends wedding we decided to benchmark=20
our mpeg4 streaming.  We are using a cheap Axis211 (progresive=20
video, max 640x480 resolution, up to 60fps - bandwidith permitting).

Well, the lowest bandwidth requirement we get is 110kpbs - about 50%=20
of what you have available - so it *could* work.  You may even be=20
able to squeze two cams - with two POV (e.g. close up and wide=20
angle).

The catch(es):

- we get this at 320x240 resolution, Adv Simple profile, 1:8 I/P=20
ratio and 10fps - ie. lowest possible quality

- the broadband router has an outgoing filter (call it mini-
firewall) setting this up correctly to allow the variety of multi-
casting that Axis uses is nightmarish.  you MUST test this before=20
the wedding!!

- Axis documentation is notoriously poor - so don't expect any help=20
there.

Good luck
