If it's one of the old type were you download via the Satellite and upload over a different connection normally a Dial Up Service the answer is still yes but it's going to take a very long time to upload 8 hours even with compression.

If it's one of the new services where you have 2 way communication through the Satellite the upload will be faster but you are likely to incur Excess Usage Fees from your provider.

Some do not have a Upload option and because of the remote location that these services are aimed at there is very little else available.

But while anything is Technically Possible I personally don't think that this idea will be economically feasible as the cost will be high in both Net Connection Costs Excess Usage if applicable and finally hardware costs as I'm assuming that the remote location is not inhabited so you just want Surveillance of any possible intruders. That would require some means to supply power after the mains fails or if there are no mains a power supply to run the Computer/Cameras and Splitting Console at the very least and not need constant attention.

Just my 2 cents worth & I could be wrong as I don't know what the situation is at the point where surveillance is wanted. But I would personally contact several Security Companies and get Quotes as there is no way that you can do it cheaper than they could. While the Hardware may be sourced at different cheaper places the Monitoring is the costly part here.

it's more about cost!

You can use mobile connections, this is the way that people who live in locations that makes it unprofitable for the telco to install a landline or how Surfcam http://www.coastalwatch.com/camera/cameras_large.aspx?cam=2400&state=NSW&t=1:28:32%20AM&camName=Yamba and other surf lifesaving camera work!

With satellite you will need to be two dishes at each location or a way to network them wirelessly to a satellite setup.
