Running a camera server with a cable connection -
is it possible to stream (6) cameras 24x7, not just snapshots?
does the upload burden multiply with every person that connects? Or does it
stay constant?

TIA

probably but the frame rate might not be that good, depends on your
connection really

yes

if you set up a web site with, say, a java applet to stream the images
then it "might" be better than direct connection to your server.
I think Webcam32 comes with a java applet that will do just that (it's
been a while) ?
