Of course it can all be done, all of it has been done already.  (see
Byron's excellent post).  The real question is "Can YOU do it?". Byron
asked you what level your were at - high school, college, etc. How
much software engineering have you done?  Remote control of a video
camera is fairly easy using off the shelf components assuming you are
already familiar with protocols.  Encryption is a bit more difficult,
although not to bad if you use Diffie Huffman or other off the shelf
components, but you first need to answer your level of experience.
