*nod* The lowest bandwidth with the Philips cams is 200 bytes/frame, so that
means you can have at most 5 streams (that is, 5 cameras running
simultaneously), assuming you all set them to this lowest bandwidth usage.
But you can hook up as many as you like (interesting to see if my code will
hold :)).

Indeed. However, querying 10 cams sequentially shouldn't be any problem.
