IP Camera app/channel

Is there a channel/app for roku so that one can connect to and view IP Cameras? if not, is it possible to create one? or not?

Pseudo-code follows:

time = get_current_time_in_ms()
refresh = 100 ' in ms, 10 times a second
targetTime = time
while true
    ' Pre-compute target time so image download and display doesn't cause unnecessary lag
    targetTime = get_current_time_in_ms() + refresh
    image = get_image_from_url()
    show_image_on_screen(image)
    sleepTime = targetTime - get_current_time_in_ms()
    ' Only sleep if we don't think another image is ready yet
    if sleepTime>0 then sleep(sleepTime)
end while


Your choice as to whether you use roImageCanvas or roScreen.
