Hi all, my first post and it's a biggy.

I would greatly appreciate any advice anyone can give me on a new project I'm about to embark on.

Basically, I want to create a pay-per-view website streaming live video via 4 webcams, non adult I assure you!
My knowledge lies with XHTML and CSS and know little about streaming and scripting. All scripting will be outsourced.

What I need to know before I get started is what is the best way to stream? Do I set up a server at the location or can I stream straight from the webcams to my website? What kind of connection will be required, what upload speeds should I be looking to go for?

Also, I need to look at payment methods for my customers. I was thinking of using a m-commerce payment gateway to charge customer's mobile phone to allow them access to the members page for 24 hours, maybe using their IP address. Can this even be done?

Well, that's enough for now I think! No doubt I'll have more to ask later!!!
Any help will be greatly received.

Kind regards,
Nortski.
