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:

Webcam 1 \
Webcam 2 - > Streamserver -> Webserver displaying html5 Video 
Webcam n /

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).

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?

Thanks,

Moritz

I would recommend using WebRTC instead of VLC & ffserver.

All you will need for this implementation is a central node server.

And if you did not want to go the webRTC rout you could always just stream right over a socket, but I really think webRTC is the way to go.
