You either cannot read, are trolling or are extremely stupid.
It takes up to 9 hours to receive and process a single image, it can be more it can be less, so lets say 24 frames per second to save bandwidth.
24 frames * 120 seconds = 2880 images.
2880 images * average 4 hours when Mars is closest to earth = 11520 hours = 480 days
That is if there are no errors in receiving the data.
The DSN has enough trouble receiving continuous streams of telemetry let alone images and video. What you're talking about is not trivial.
