You'll have to write an app.

Believe or not I wrote something like that on Windows Mobile for a company. It's far too slow at about 1 frame per second as bluetooth is rather slow but it is possible. Took about a week so factor that up or down depending on your programming staff's skill.

Sorry.

But you'll have to get your programmer staff to do this. I can't share the app because it's not mine to share. Some don't understand that system but all this is possible. The cost however should be far more than a web cam.
