I have a module that can help you, as long as you install OpenCV and FFmpeg yourself on the client machine:

> Automation Professionals is pleased to announce a Release Candidate for its new driver module, supporting the live Network Image transmission format of [Keyence CV-5000](https://www.keyence.com/products/vision/vision-sys/cv-5000/index.jsp) machine vision controllers, plus support for common Network Video streams via [OpenCV](https://opencv.org/). Stream metadata is exposed as OPC items, and the output streams are Motion JPEG. The IP Camera Viewer Component in Vision can consume these streams, making it possible to integrate IP Cameras that don't have MJPEG support or have poor support f…

While most commonly used to retransmit RTSP networked webcams in a Vision-friendly format, the implementation also attempts to load OpenCV's java library into Ignition's scripting environment, and this works in Vision Clients, too.

If you go that route, I'd recommend displaying frames with the Paintable Canvas.

(Note that while the jython wrappers **look** like the python OpenCV bindings, they are really the java bindings. Numpy is not part of the kit.)
