Getting IP Cam video stream on Android (MJEPG)
MJPEG is a terribly inefficient way to deliver motion video to a mobile device, because each frame is compressed as it's own independent picture. For an application which doesn't need video (someone was asking about a camera watching waiting lines last week) your solution of pushing a static frame every second or so sounds good.
If you need motion video, I would recommend you do transcoding on your webserver from MJPEG to a supported video format which utilizes frame-to-frame compression. This will result in far less data to push, both over the user's 3g connection and from your server to all of its clients. You should only need to run one transcoding engine to support all clients - and you'll be able to use the same one for android & iphone devices, though you may want to also have a higher resolution output for tablets and pc's if your camera output is good enough to justify it.
