Default Video stream transfer (College project)

Hi..
For my college project, I am doing remote control car that can be controlled through the internet.
A laptop is attached to the top of the car and it moves with the car. Because of that, i need a webcam connected to the laptop so that i can see where the car is going..

For the project, my part is to write a program to transfer the webcam stream real time from the laptop to another computer..
I need advice on what language to use to write the program. It is kind of like a client/server environment and the server send the webcam stream to the client.

There should be a box where u can enter the IP of the server (laptop).
There should also be a "ON" button where u can turn the webcam on or off.
If possible, it would be good if i can add control to the program to turn the webcam right or left (using motor and parallel port programming).

Since my friend is writing the code for the controls of the robot, it would be great if my program can be embeded onto his code..

Can somebody please advice me on that language i should use to write the server/client program to transfer webcam stream..?
Thanks in advance..
