Assuming that you really mean a digital camera when you say 'video
camera', such cameras generally use USB.  A serial port just wouldn't be
able to handle one JPEG every second, let alone 60.  Actually, I'm not
under the impression that digital cameras have that high a frame rate
either (even with USB.)

Anyway, if you look in the ports collection, you'll see cqcam, which
provides support for the Connectix Quick Cam.
