added to /etc/services on server or bot:
cam-video 8888/tcp # camera robot
cam-cntl 8889/tcp # camera robot

Compiling, I used opencv/tcp sockets libraries:
gcc stream_server.c -o stream_server \
`pkg-config --cflags opencv` \
`pkg-config --libs opencv` -lpthread

gcc stream_client.c -o stream_client \
`pkg-config --cflags opencv` \
`pkg-config --libs opencv` -lpthread

installed on x86:
sudo apt-get install libhighgui-dev
sudo apt-get install libcvaux-dev
sudo apt-get install libv4l-0

installed on x64_86:
sudo apt-get install -t squeeze-backports libgtk2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install libhighgui-dev
sudo apt-get install libcvaux-dev
sudo apt-get install libv4l-0

running stream_server w/tiny camera:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so ./stream_server

stream_server running w/logitech camera:
./stream_server 0

(note the software can be passed N, 0, in this case if you have multiple cameras)
or (fix for small camera)

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so ./stream_server

stream_client running:
./stream_client 127.0.0.1 320 240




software
stream_server (run on Pi-I)
stream_client (run on remote (phone/desktop))
