If you convert it to the right format I don't see why not.
 
I use zoneminder to keep an eye on my house while away, and it works just fine over my iphone in Safari.
 
I want to be able to do real time monitoring, not convert the videos to watch on my iphone but to actually see whats going on real time .. Thanks for all the responses
 
There is not a system for watching real-time video on the iPhone.

However, I have seen plugins for a few turn-key security systems that allows the system to export a series of images at regular intervals. If you wanted, you could read those images into a web server and use a simple javascript page to auto update the image every couple seconds.

It would also be a lot less taxing on battery life and would work on EVERYTHING.
