title: Setting up multi webcam streaming
body: <p>we are currently planning to connect all our offices via webcams selectable from a website. So I guess the setup could be something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Webcam 1 \
  Webcam 2 - &gt; Streamserver -&gt; Webserver displaying html5 Video 
  Webcam n /
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've made first tests from streaming from Windows using VLC to a central ffserver, but the results where rather bad (after 1-2 frames the stream stopped).</p>
  
  <p>Do you have any suggestions on 
  - which stream software I can use on the client/webcam site (Linux or Windows)
  - which software I can use on the server side (Linux) for collecting and recoding streams?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
  
  <p>Moritz</p>
