Streaming video over ethernet?

Hey, new to raspberry pi so let me know if this is impossible and or in the wrong thread. Essentially I am wondering if a support webcam is plugged into a raspberry pi, is it possible to take the video feed and stream it over an ethernet connection to a Pc. the cable is about 100 feet, thanks for any info

Yes.
You need one of the supported webcams but don't expect too much in the way of picture size and/or frame rate.

The software 'motion' is a good starting point.

Wonder how the performance will be with the organizations camera module they are supposed to release. Its been quite a while, I was hoping that it will come out soon.

Here is another example of using Mjpg streamer viewtopic.php?f=30&t=8659&p=164539&hilit=mjpeg+streamer#p164539
or search on the forum for Mjpg-streamer, a lot of people used it

Camera can capture 1080p30 and encode it to a bitstream, at up to 30MBit/s, but that might be a bit much if streaming over the network. You will be able to specify the resolution, fps and bitrate, so you can set what you want.

We are currently working on the module!
