Just curious if its possible to connect an internet video cam, a mouse or/and keyboard via a USB adapter to Ipad 1?

I am sure that a bluetooth mouse and keyboard can be connected via Bluetooth, but what about hooking up a video cam?

Thanks in advance.

Out of the things you mentioned the only thing that can be connected through the dock connector is a keyboard.
 
video cam and mouse

So I'm guessing that a video cam cannot be connected at all, since it is not bluetooth as far as I know.

What about connecting a mouse via Bluetooth? Will it work on Ipad 1?

yep, keyboard only - and otherwise:
- a camera (for downloading photos, not taking actual shots/video)
- a USB soundcard

iOS does not have a cursor, it's meant for fingers/styli. No mouse.
