BTW forget video, but pictures OK.
Why forget video? I am curious. if the ISP line does provide for uploads at 512 kbps then we can hit 30 fps. ofcourse there will be more than 1 camera in each location.
Would a 15 fps be OK if one just needs to check on the kid? Anyone with first hand experience?
It all depends on video size, if you opt for QVGA (320X240) then probably 512kbps DSL would be able to serve one client but at much lesser fps.
You need a whopping bandwidth (may be 2MBPS or more) to carry good quality video. You also have to consider latency. We had tested such system on office LAN on QVGA at 15fps. The quality was OK, but did not checked bandwidth.
