Yes, from some kinds of cameras. Webcams can handle it, and usually USB cameras can handle it. IP cameras (whether gigabit or not) sometimes cannot be used for this purpose.

If your camera is streaming H.264 or MPEG-4 then you have a problem (except possibly while using the Computer vision Toolbox.) The tools for dealing with H.264 and MPEG-4 are build for reading files that contain those, not for dealing with live streams of them.
