Measure Bandwidth Used

[MasterRacker]

I have a surveillance system that allows a user to view a live feed via a web browser. I would like to measure how much bandwidth that stream uses. Besides watching the network monitor in task manager, what other method might I use (with free tools)?

My concern is that the facility is connected to the rest of our network via a T1, so I want to know what kind of impact we might see if I open the system up to viewing outside the facilities local LAN.

Hi Jeff

There is a little freeware utility available on cnet called Bandwidth Monitor Pro.

It seems a bit minimalist at first, but if you right click on the little window it opens up there is quite a bit of customization possible.
