Since both machines run linux and are connected, there are several routes to get connected. If there is already an nfs mount from one to the other machine (no mather what direction) then you can open a 'named-pipe' on this filesystem. Then connect the devicefile where the camera is to the named-pipe and on the other side, use the named pipe in stead of the devicefile. I know these are rought guidelines, you have to find your way to details elsewhere. An other option is to define a 'remote usb device' on the machine where the software runs, that actually uses the usb device at the other linux machine. THe above is frequently used in the unix world for things like tape devices and such.
