Video streaming with XBEE Wi-FI

I am a senior at UF. I'm making a wireless surveillance system for my Senior Design project. I want to thank whoever is reading this in advance for taking the time to go over it, I will be brief.
I wanna use a TTL camera. This will be transmitted wirelessly via XBEE (there will be two units, in different locations) to a receiving XBEE. The user can choose which camera to look at. The receiver will then connect to a computer via USB and the signal will be processed using OpenCV. I have been working on a Motion Tracker algorith already using OpenCV and it's very helpful and relativelyeasy to use.
Here's the rub; The signal coming out of the camera is a composite signal, which is analog. I can convert it to digital using a MicroP (Something like the TI TMS320C28x for instance, I like these) and then send it through the xbee wifi, which I understand can send up to 72Mbps, so the receiver (another xbee wifi) would have no problem receiving and transmitting about 7-10 FPS to the computer. Now all of this sounds nice and good but I'm wondering if anyone can tell me a little more about this xbee wi-fi and if what I'm thinking I can do, can actually be done. Thank you very much for reading and I appreciate any info on this.
Here's the data sheet if you're interested in taking a look:
