Also check out the manufacturers' websites, they sometimes have free SDKs. :)

Again its depends what kind of camera, if its a web cam (USB) for instance then Video For Windows can be an option, if the camera needs a frame grabber its more complex as already mentioned you will need the SDK from the manufacturer.

What exactly is a SDK that everyone talks about?

Thanks.

Software Development Kit.

A collection of header files and lib files - which give you the code that you need in order to do certain things, like connecting to a camera.
