What are the vulnerabilities, pitfalls of putting a video stream
on-line?
Probably the biggest is spending a lot of time on the project and
then having content that nobody cares to watch. Streaming
straight from the capture camera is the most efficient, but
leaves the computer subject to potential attacks. Less efficient
is to use ftp to an intermediate server, which provides
protection to the serving computer.
