Hi mrzoab!
I used their own SDK (not all of them are proprietary, some are open
source) and I never developed software with them, all the work I did was
for these cams being accessed/viewed/controlled remotely from a secure
website using their http command sets. Most of them use C or C based
libraries in their sdks. But my work was also exclusively with IP cams,
not USB cams. I tried to find an sdk published for the Microsoft cam
you listed and I could not. Most cams are inexpensive, but it would be
my suggestion if possible to choose a cam for your project with a decent
sdk and support for it if possible. Good luck.
