: While NetSnap pioneered accessible live streaming, it became a cautionary tale for modern cybersecurity due to its inherent lack of encryption and default settings that left thousands of feeds open to the public. 2. Technical Background Server Architecture
This report investigates the performance of a delivering a live video feed over a local network and the internet. It focuses on the trade-off between frame rate , latency , and image compression when streaming in real time. The findings show that while the server provides stable intra-network feeds (latency < 50ms), internet-based streaming introduces jitter and packet loss, requiring adaptive buffering.
