Is this a good solution?

I want to live broadcast a video inside through the intranet and I want to
have at least 10fps.

I don't have a network cameara yet. So I am testing it with a USB webcam.
What I do now is to broadcast the video captured by the webcam using Windows
Media Encoder.

The audience can watch the live video by inputting the URL (e.g.
http://123.123.123.123:1234) in Window Media Player by not IE. But how can I
publish / embed my video so that the audience can watch the video by visiting
a webpage?

Is this method also applicable to a network camera?

You can add this code to your webpage which will do the trick :

<object id="wmvideo"
classid="clsid:6bf52a52-394a-11d3-b153-00c04f79faa6"
type="application/x-oleobject" width="320" height="240">
<param name="url" value="http://123.123.123.123:1234)">
<param name="autostart" value="1">
<param name="showcontrols" value="1">
<param name="uimode" value="mini">
<param name="stretchtofit" value="1">
<param name="volume" value="80">
<param name="EnableContextMenu" value="0">
</object>

Change the url to whatever your real encoding IP and port is, and
change the width and height to match your video (or it will be scaled
to fit)

Not unless the network camera provides windows media or an AVI stream,
or something in a format that windows media can play.
