How hard would it be to have a channel that pulled the JPG every few seconds from the snapshot URL. As much as I would like the streaming, being able to see a quick snap shot just to make sure no one has kicked in my front door would be nice. 🙂
Not hard at all.
You could have a pile of cameras and refresh the images as fast as your cameras can deliver them (which, in my experience, is not very fast!) With the new 3.0 features, you could probably do it without flicker too.
What I stalled on was coming up with an algorithm for automatically subdividing the screen into smaller and smaller squares as more cameras are added to the system. Seemed really simple, but never quite figured it out...
