I've thought this over and I think I'll avoid streaming over the |
| 8 |
internet. I have two locations to monitor in separate buildings. |
| 9 |
Each of them has a Gentoo desktop on the same local network. I don't |
| 10 |
need to do live monitoring so maybe I should just have each of these |
| 11 |
systems record their videos and send a copy to the other system. That |
| 12 |
way I always have two copies of all videos, and I can wget what I need |
| 13 |
from over the internet if I need to review something. |

How does that sound? Would you use H.264 for this? |
