 <p>If you only want to work with the vision part then AForge.net is your best bet. I have used it in the past and it was pretty good for video/feed stuff. Don't expect to do something with your audio later on though since AForge.NET only supports Vision related stuff. Personally I wouldn't use DirectShow since that is pretty old and sometimes requires you to do some complex interop tricks to get what you want. If you want to go the DirectShow way at least use DirectShow.NET. </p>
