Hi,

I have a client who wishes to set-up web cams from an external office which
is not on their LAN. They have an ADSL connection and several PC's at this
location, which I can install any needed software/hardware on. If anyone has
any experience on setting this type of thing up, I have several questions if
I may?

Is it simply a case of purchasing & installing streaming software,
installing the webcams, set-up a webpage on the site (hosted elsewhere)
which will pull the webcam feed from the fixed IP of the PC on the ADSL line
or is it more invloved that this?

They currently receive in excess of 1600 visitors each day, and this additon
to the site will be quite popular. Will an ADSL connection be enough or will
the feed be so slow or only accessible to X number of clients that it's not
worth doing?

Many thanks,

Bill.
