[Discuss] streaming webcam

[markw at mohawksoft.com (Mark Woodward)]

Also, I have a bunch of webcams, and the one main problem I see in them 
is that they are SLOW. With very little motion, they seem OK, but if you 
move them quickly they blur the image terribly.  It is important that 
the effective "shutter speed" is quick enough that moderate motion of 
the camera does not blur excessively.

Am I asking too much?

Do you guys know of anything, I've been looking. I have more than half a 
dozen different webcams ranging from the built-in laptop cameras to 
various USB2 devices, which, when all is said and done, are basically 
logitech quickcams.
