Yeah, it's a flash app.  Way beyond anything that net plugin can deal
with.

http://telematica.estradasdeportugal.pt/images/public/

is where the flv files live, but my browser says 403,
"You don't have permission to access /public/ on this server."
if I try to get to it with browser. If wget manages to 
iterate through the /public/ using wildcard expression (does it?),
dunno how it does it.

No, not really.  

There's even a basic conceptual problem.  I clicked on same camera
icon twise with a time gap, got

http://telematica.estradasdeportugal.pt/images/public/P-25-Abril-Norte_J05606_normal.flv
http://telematica.estradasdeportugal.pt/images/public/P-25-Abril-Norte_MRB35P_normal.flv

Now, even if one could iterate through 

P-25-Abril-Norte_*_normal.flv

in

http://telematica.estradasdeportugal.pt/images/public/

there's no guarantee that there won't be more than one file meeting
the criteria. Quite possible several are on the go at the same time,
and the flash app changes link from one to another.
