    Thank you for your response.  Please  provide me more details based on your previous response.  I know there are plenty of documentation regarding this matter, however, time is not on my side.  We need to make a decision on whether or not FMS, Unreal Media Server, Windows Media Server, etc will be the solution of choice for us....Thanks in advance......

    Following are the steps do get it running:

    1. Install your 3.5 server on Windows 2003 machine. (i suppose this is already done)

    2. Install FMLE on your Windows XP (I suppose this is already done)

    3. You can open four instances of FMLE so that you can select all four video camera , i mean single FMLE will have one video camera as source.

    4. Create a Flash Client (lets name it viewer.html) which you will host so that customers can view live video( or you can use VideoPlayer which comes with FMS installation)

    5. Host the Flash Client on your web server , FMS comes with its own Apache Web Server (you will have to configure it so that it can allow hosting of your client)

    6. Now open all four instances of FMLE (which is taking source from diff video camera's) and publish it to "live" application of FMS ( "live" comes with installation). You just need to put "rtmp://<Server-IP>/live" as FMS URL and put valid stream name and click on Start Publish. So you can publish four streams all by different names say "livestream1" will stream feed from one camera, "livestream2" will stream feed from second camera and so on.

    7. Now end customer will access your Flash Client viewer.html using browser and viewer.html will connect to same "live" application and subscribe to all four steams and display it using video component. In this way end user will be able to view all 4 live streams.

    Its very simple steps process using FMS , i don't know how easy or difficult it is using other servers.

    You basically need to create a Flash Client which will talk to FMS for getting stream content. Writing such client is very simple. Once you have done that you can host your Flash Client on your webserver. You will use FMLE to publish to FMS, flash client will connect to FMS and your customer will access your Flash Client through any browser by putting correct URL of your webserver and thus they will be able to view whatever is getting published. I have just given you description in layman's terms. If you want more details do let me know but this will make you understand how the workflow is.
