hi

probably you could get a bit more specific about what exactly you're
trying to do instead of posting the same post twice (?)

there are externals to process video and images 'live and direct'. have
a look at Gem[1], Gridflow[2] and pdp/pidip[3].

[1] http://gem.puredata.info/
    Gem is included in the pd-extended releases

[2] http://www.gridflow.ca/
    is not included in pd-extended

[3] http://zwizwa.be/pd/pdp/
    is included in pd-extended, but afaik not developped anymore.


for the network part:

probably it would be better to let a little script do the job of getting
the pictures from the cams to the local file system. it could download a
picture in a certain intervall. once it the image is local you could
constantly read the image with appropriate object of the library of your
choice.
