Does it HAVE to be ONE chip? Get a Raspberry Pi, run ffmpeg from the command line, pipe it via netcat. Is it one of those cheap IP security cameras? I worte software for that for Linux.

you can also pipe the output via ffmpeg and then netcat. It looks for the jpegs in the mjpeg stream and extracts those, it also does the required handshaking. Been running 24/7 here for years. Processor load is really low, even without hardware acceleration, but it runs on a real PC, not a raspi. I tried it on a raspi, and indeed you may need the acceleration. USB cams do not work on a raspi at all (USB sucks on those things), even the keyboard loses characters.
Does gstreamer need a raspi license? I have only 2 raspies with mpeg license.

PS, use
-m 1 on the command line for the Chinese cameras, I should update the website one day. mcamip -h show all options.
