I have unsuccessfully tried to view streams from one axis(I belive) camera.
This was however set up for sending through http or similar.

If the camera provide standard rtp multicast, and has a .sdp file for it,
vlc should be able to play that just fine. This setup should be good enough
for your needs then. Before spending too much time coding though, you should
test in a standalone vlc instance. (if you haven't bought the camera yet you
should proably wait for someone else to answer whether it is possible).

The mozilla plugin in vlc's sources is an excellent example of this.

VLC uses threads, so I don't think that is necessary.

It should be possible, but the integration part will need some coding. Note
that VLC is gpl, and if you use vlc inside your application, this
application must be gpl or compatible as well.
