1Whoever gave you the task can surely point you towards some documentation for the cameras in question? – sarnold Dec 18 '11 at 05:29

Well, if it's any help, there are TONS of "IP camera"'s around. Generally, its just a matter of some simple HTML/JS code to grab the stream, or they abide by one of the video streaming protocols.
I can help out a little more if you tell me the IP camera you have in mind, and the protocol you want to stream in, but as long as the camera doesn't use some strange protocol, it should be possible. Hope this helps!

There is a slew of existing Android IP camera apps:

To get you started in the field, review info from the IP camera industry organization http://www.onvif.org
OSS Linux SW for talking to IP cameras.
Kindly review previous SO discussion and this great one with code.
