Yeah that's right, no need to record. Any idea how many user streams they can support? We're likely to have up to 30 people watching at a time (big building) so I was wanting to decouple video / image source and delivery to users if possible. 30x streams won't be saturating 100Mb ethernet, just wondering what the cameras have the grunt to support.

I have a slightly odd use case... our office car park is over-populated and cars end up double and triple parked and blocked. At the end of every day everyone spends a stupid amount of time emailing and phoning each other to move their cars, standing outside waiting for the person in front of them to move, etc. This situation isn't going to change, so we're looking at pointing a couple of cameras at the area and broadcasting the images so people can see at a glance when they're clear to go outside and move. Basic technical requirements: We have PoE available, we don't need wifi, we have bits of infrastructure like NAS around, and we need a wide fov (90°+), and reasonable low light performance with 20-30m range IR. I've been looking at the Hikvision DS-2CD2632F-IS, but it's not clear how I could make that feed available to browsers and wall displays (which are generally smart TVs or TVs with rPi driving them). What format does it output to NAS? What if I want a constant feed but am not bothered about frame rate? Can I output a JPG every 15s or so and serve that up to devices? Is there a better suggestion than that camera? Thanks!
