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.
Bandwith? since when did nasa' bandwith become limited
