Got an IP camera looking out over the bay at a popular
windsurfing site (Lakes Bay, behind Atlantic City NJ - USA).

Because of limited bandwidth and a need to see some minimal
amount of motion, connecting to the camera over the WAN is
problematic.

The workaround would seem to be uploading short clips to
somewhere that users can view them so the only bandwidth
limitation is the user's internet connection.

A camera server (BlueIris) is installed on a laptop down where
the camera is and is currently continually uploading video clips
to an FTP server on my home PC.

Each clip is about five megs.

I just tried uploading a clip to YouTube and the motion looks
plenty good to me: http://tinyurl.com/c3ejx6w

Googling around, I see that there are ways to automate YouTube
uploads.

That seems to leave:

- Deleting old uploads

- Providing some way for users to get to the latest
upload(s) - maybe a YouTube search phrase?

Does this sound plausible?

Is it legitimate from YouTube's perspective?

If so, can anybody aim me in the right direction?
