[Motion-user] netcamera bandwidth?

[Adam B. <ad...@ao...>]

I'm new to motion but I'm finding it a fantastic piece of software.   
I've already got it monitoring 4 cameras.

My cameras are at the end of a DSL line and I'm running motion on a  
hosted CentOS server.  I'm a little worried about using too much of my  
DSL bandwidth.  Is there a rule of thumb for how much bandwidth a  
motion mjpeg stream will consume?  I have the framerate set to 2 but  
I'm curious how motion can limit this.  Is it simply a matter of how  
many HTTP GETs it does per second?

Also, I'm interested in using a camera that only supports asf files,  
not mjpeg.  I found a blog that describes how to use ffserver to get  
around this, but are there any plans to support ASF streams in the  
future?  I didn't see it on the roadmap.

Thanks for making such a cool piece of software available.

    Cheers,
    Adam
