Question - I have a device that can record video files to SD, but can't stream the it's video feed. Could I use this SD card to stream the feed to a server?

  Theoretically, yes. Practically, I think you should dedicate a few months or even years to writing code to get that working... The OS is very basic, you don't get much RAM, the TCP/IP stack seems very primitive, and you don't have the source code...

    There are other wireless SD cards that already run a Linux OS. The main problem would be to figure out how your camera saves the files (it might not save them in a playable format right away - for example it could save most of the data but keep the key frames - necessary every so often - until the end or so, or do more processing on the video file only after recording is finished). Unless you reverse-engineer all that and work out a way to generate a playable stream out of the intermediate file, you’re out of luck.

  You could probably get the card to live transfer the files to a server but you can’t change the filesystem so you can’t clean up which you need to do to keep recording.
