A bit of sound advice from someone who spent five years in the field trying to make equipment work like the marketing materials say they will…don’t believe a word you read – test it, and then test it again. If that isn’t possible, find an engineer to talk to, take him out for a drink and you’ll find out the truth. Streaming multiple redundant streams for real-time viewing and video forensics isn’t the same as streaming a YOUTUBE video or a point to point video conference using H.264 to your smartphone. You’re dealing with multiple TCP and UDP ports, multicasting storms and 30ms to 250ms of network latency, besides the fact that you are completely at the mercy of a public network.

Who says I’m wrong about this? Yeah? Prove it.
