Kin Chin brought this to my attention:
Will the tank motors even require a PWM? If they respond to an on/off signal, then no. If we just have buttons on the site, like forward, back, etc. then a PWM wouldnt even be used.

Instead of an IP camera, we could use this: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8667

It would take more work but we wouldn't have to worry about all the problems with an IP camera.
