I didn't know whether this was a camera question, a linux question, or a networking question. Please feel free to move or request to move this question as necessary.

I want to capture the video footage from multiple GoPro Hero 3's and record them to an HDD. Using the HDMI out is apparently not an option as most computers lack HDMI in. I could thus use the Wifi option of the GoPro. My question is, therefore, this:

Is it possible to record the wireless footage from 2 or more GoPros simultaneously. Specifically I want to know the bandwidth used by each GoPro (ie. how many can I run on a Wireless 802.11 N) and whether it is possible to distinguish and capture different GoPro signals.

EDIT

I will be recording the footage at 1080p at 30 fps. I believe it uses the .mp4 format. and the H.264 compression algorithm (source).

The old Hero3 could easily be streamed to a linux computer by accessing the web interface at 

 http://10.5.5.9:8080/live/amba.m3u8

The new Hero4 requires the following steps:

Open this URL: http://10.5.5.9/gp/gpExec?p1=gpStreamA9&c1=restart

In VLC/FFplay/other open the udp port: udp://:8554

Make sure the media player is configured as mpeg streaming.
