I don't think streaming is really mandatory for this kind a setup... 
Just do a cron job every 1 minute (ajust if necessary) that will take 
a picture, and save it as jpg in the root of your website...

Then just use a simple "meta refresh" in your web page so that it 
reloads itself every 1 minute...
