I think it would be neat to have a live feed of our 3-Axis Machine hosted on our website. We could then render some really cool time lapsed videos to educate people how the machine works. Now I know we have had a lot problems in the past with streaming,specifically how taxing it was on the CPU. So with this in mind I have found a solution. The Logitech C920 (http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Webcam-Widescreen-Calling-Recording/dp/B006JH8T3S) supports H.264 hardware encoding so we won't don't have to really in the BBB to do it. This is pretty well documented on various blog posts so I don't think we will have too much of a problem. There was a really good tutorial on http://derekmolloy.ie/ but it has since vanished, I'm going to make it a point to email the guy about it. I found relatively good results by googling "beaglebone IP camera".
