What is the highest frame speed that the webcam viewers can get?

Detailed Question:

Hi! What is the highest frame speed at the remote (viewing) web browser that your users' viewers are able to get on any regular basis using your hardware/software for webcams?

Answer:

It depends on the internet connection. With 100Mbit LAN, it's 15 fps. With high speed internet it's about 3 fps. These are jpegs for live video, as opposed to streaming, which buffers for several seconds. We cannot afford buffering delays of 15-20 seconds for live pan/tilt feedback control. The standard resolution is 320x240. We can increase to 640x480, but that reduces frame rates.
