Hmmm I guess I will need to take a closer look at the cd's that came
with the camera.  But aside from that I can access the video directly
from a url (I've verified this by pointing mplayer to the url and can
watch the video that is coming from it).  As far as the activeX
component goes I believe it does but the problem lies in the fact that
they use a codebase tag in the source code that I can see so I can't be
sure and I don't know what the component would be.  Is it difficult to
get an activeX component to play an mpeg4?  I'm assuming that since
mplayer can play the stream just fine that the codec would be a normal
codec.

In the meantime I am definately going to search for an sdk of some
sort.

Thanks for your help

If you media player can play the video, you already have your component. Just embed the media player active X in you app.

Provided you use VS:
-If necessary add the active x to you toolbox in you form designer
    +Right Click->Add item
    +COM Component->Select "Windows media player"
-Hit ok
-Drag and drop the media player on you form
