Q: What is the difference between uploading frames and streaming? Answer: "Streaming" refers to the continual uploading of video images at a specific rate, so that a remove viewer has the ability to perceive motion, though usually the motion is not "real-time" unless high-speed network connections are used and expensive equipment is used to convert the video images to a "live" feed. "Uploading frames" refers to the periodic uploading of captured JPEG images, at a sufficient frequency to provide the required level of security or entertainment, but not at a "real-time" or "live" rate. A video "stream" is then created (on-demand, for a specific time period) by "animating" the frames, i.e., the frames are glued together and played one after another, to give the appearance of motion. This may appear as "stop-action" or timelapse, depending on the type of motion and the frequency of updates. Compared to streaming, uploading frames is much, much less expensive to generate, requires much less bandwidth to upload and view, and requires vastly less disk space to archive. This means that there are many more opportunities for our technology, and we can storage images for an arbitrary long period of time, in a cost-effective fashion.
