1. What is an IP camera?
2. Do you realise this is the PHP forum, not the ASP.NET forum?

Moved to ASP.NET.

IP cameras are cameras are security cameras (CCTV) that are connected via a network (Internet Protocol) to transmit data (images) to a DVR (Digital Video Recorder).

So, what you need to do is interface with the DVR to retrieve the data from the IP camera.
You will need to contact the vendor of your DVR to purchase a Software Developer Kit (SDK/API) so that you can call their methods that will retrieve the images from the DVR.

That should get you started.
After that you will have to decide on how you are going to stream this information to the browser (this is fun I've played with it using Silverlight)

I'm in the same boat as the original poster... Does anyone recommend a vendor / (SDK/API). For my project, we have not chosen any specific cameras/vendor yet so it's still a clean slate.

thanks
