Thanks Chris. I really do mean stream video TO the iPad. The video source is going to be locally generated probably through a consumer camera, so sending that to a website just to get it feed to the iPad seems like a long way around and introduces a potential weak link.
Is that really the only solution? There's no way to directly feed the iPad or use some sort of mirroring or any other trickery that will get the video on the Ipad?
If that is the only solution, any suggestions how to set that up locally with a couple of laptops and a consumer video camera, and Wifi to minimize the use of the web? Would it be some remote monitoring software like that people use to keep an eye on their cat?
