IP/network camera as Modul8 live input source

HI, I'm very new to Modul8 and using the software to help create a video installation piece. The artist wants a video montage we have created to include an overlay of a video feed from a camera placed far away from the screen displaying this feed (20+ feet).

So I assumed I would need some sort of ethernet or wifi based camera such as this one here: http://www.networkcamerareviews.com/net ... tails.html

However I have never worked with such a camera and don't want to buy one until I know it will interface with OS X / Modul8 correctly. It seems like these cameras only broadcast their signals in a way that you can view them in a browser by entering their IP addresses.

Is there a way to get a camera like this as a live video input source in Modul8??

Thanks for your help.

This cam is Windows only compatible (ActiveX), (readable in the bottom of the page you linked)
Getting an ip cam into m8 is quite hard (expect poor resolutions and framerates) you must, I think, use Quartz Composer to do this.
