streaming video over the net

[peto]

I remember some time back that a fair few of you had streaming cams using the mms:// protocol

Can any one tell me the software you used for this, where to get, and can it handle more than one person viewing at a time.

I've just set up some wireless cameras around work in my server and communications rooms and the reciever sits on my desk. This works a treat but now I'm heading on holidays next week, I want to be able to vpn in and see whats happening.

Can any one help?

This was mainly a security measure. I've noticed a lot of software go missing when people asked for access to the server to load their 'updates'

Now I can watch them in real time instead of walking the 100 odd meters there and then again back 9 or so times a day. :banana:

(thats the stuff you want to do WMV streaming off your own server)

mms is probably netshow which is older..

The VPN we're now using here at work is part of the TPIPS network. Essentially a VPN without the internet bit. A produxt of telstras similar to the old Auspac network.

I dial a local number and have access to our entire network. Makes things a hell of a lot easier :) But unfortunately unless you have a lot of cash this isnt the way to go.

Our network with 6 branches and 27 remote users costs us around 90 grand a year to run.

Not sure what else I could do to help you man
