Save two versions of the file one at high resolution and one at extremely low resolution.
Create a symbolic link that points to the low resolution image. Refresh the symbolic link file every second.
Create an action that, when clicked, changes the symbolic link to point to the high resolution image, waits a few seconds, and the switches back to the lower resolution.
Result: low resolution, and therefore less data, is uploaded every second. When you actually want to see the higher res version you click on the image and it uploads the higher res version and then switches back.

Btw: You can set each camera to different image quality so you could have a high res version and a low res version of the same camera. You'd increase the processing on your computer but it would allow you to use the carousel - one that rotated through the low res and one that looped through the high res.
How many cameras do you have?
