Why not just use an IP camera that has it's own built-in webserver so your
staff can connect directly and watch the grass grown without a server to
cache it? Seems like a slightly better camera could permit several people
to watch concurrently and not have another server to deal with. Put it in a
DMZ so it can be seen from outside without a VPN.
