Is there a way that MATLAB can "recognize" and connect to a camera(not plugged in directly to my local machine) that's on the same network as my local machine and view that particular camera's stream? Any response would be very helpful as I have been stuck on this for a few days.

The Image Acquisition Toolbox should be able to connect to networked cameras, once it is told what the address of the camera is.
If you were hoping that the camera would be located automatically, then that might not be practical; it would depend in part on whether the camera sends out broadcast packets or multicast packets announcing its presence.

Does the camera driver have a Direct Show interface and does it work with AMCAP?

It appears that R2011b and later can read and write MPEG-4 files, but I do not yet find any indication of direct support for streaming such files. The mechanism might still be to have an MS Windows program that decodes the stream and read the frames from that.

Do you know how to connect to a network camera using Instrument Control Toolbox? Thanks!! For example, the ip addresss of my camera is 192.168.3.253,and my PC connects to the camera with a simple net cable( UTP=UNSHIELDED TWISTED PAIR )
