Providing a live webcam to the website

Hello all,
Please provide any advice on a venture that is pretty foreign to me:

I'm going to have a webcam at a remote location that is capturing live
images of a construction site. This webcam is going to need to stream
directly to the clients web site sitting on a webserver with basically
unlimited bandwidth. I saw that there are several wireless web cameras
provided by D-Link and Linksys that provide a view through a web based
interface. It would make no sense to basically frame this image into the
clients website because of reasons such as downtime, revealing the camera
IP, etc.

What I'm asking is if anybody has completed a project as listed above
using asp.net / c# (vb will work) or if there are any good links with some
information regarding streaming a web camp to a asp,net site.

Thanks!

What you need is probably a video streaming server that is all. Just put a
link on your asp.net and let the streaming server stream it for you.

You can FTP the image to your production webserver. From there, display the
latest image.

Or you should look at getting a video server. Axis, GeoVision, Flexwatch,
etc. all have APIs for their servers.

The easiest approach is to use a network camera, but they dont come cheap.
They have their own on-board web server, so all you need to do is put the
remote image in an iframe on your clients site.
