Apologies I have just discovered unit broadcasting the RTSP stream is  
going to be set up as a bridge between units and when no active  
session still keeps a stream up (albeit black with no sound) I guess  
I am going to be capturing full time (or between certain times) and  
have to work out some post processing skull duggery.. . .
