You're probably best off seeing if it has a driver that'll
play with the
Flash Player's native camera support, seeing that it's
running on the
same machine (localhost). Failing that....
A long shot might be jumping over to ActionScript 3 and
Flash Player 9
and doing it yourself by implementing the RTSP protocol and
MPEG4IP
codec entirely in AS3. While this is quite possible, if you
go this
way, be prepared for quite a bit of work and the possibility
of
lackluster performance given the complexity of decoding a
video stream
in real-time). For example of something similar, consider,
Darron
Schall's FlashVNC client that he built using AS3 in the
fall of last
year: http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/archives/000192.cfm
Alternatively, you could look into whether it might be
possible to use
Red5 with a transcoder like FFMPEG to convert the stream
into FLV in a
separate application before streaming it into your Flash
Player. As far
as I know, there hasn't been any announcements of such a
beast, though
there isn't anything stopping an enterprising and skilled
coder from
doing this.
