I have scoured the web and do not see any way of natively accessing this

allow you to connect to real time streaming protocol?
You're probably best off seeing if it has a driver that'll play with the
Flash Player's native camera support, seeing that it's running on the
same machine (localhost). Failing that....
A long shot might be jumping over to ActionScript 3 and Flash Player 9
and doing it yourself by implementing the RTSP protocol and MPEG4IP
codec entirely in AS3. While this is quite possible, if you go this
way, be prepared for quite a bit of work and the possibility of
lackluster performance given the complexity of decoding a video stream
in real-time). For example of something similar, consider, Darron
Schall's FlashVNC client that he built using AS3 in the fall of last
year: http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/archives/000192.cfm
Alternatively, you could look into whether it might be possible to use
Red5 with a transcoder like FFMPEG to convert the stream into FLV in a
separate application before streaming it into your Flash Player. As far
as I know, there hasn't been any announcements of such a beast, though
there isn't anything stopping an enterprising and skilled coder from
doing this.
