If your camera is capable of providing an H.264 Stream I suggest you take a look at these articles first.

Controlling the bitrate is similar to controlling a stream of water. With MJPEG, knowing how to do this is important. Keep in mind that these are recommendations and you don't have to use these settings.

Framerate (FPS) : High : 10 - 15 FPS, Low : 2-5 FPS

Bit Rate : between 256kbps and 1Mpbs
