What is the best way to capture streamed MJPEG from a network IP camera?
I’d like to get frames and process them, using c++ (or python extended with c++).
Is OpenCV my best option?

Appart from OpenCV, you can use mplayer with -vo yuv4mpeg redirected to a pipe to get a stream of uncompressed yuv images. You can create the mplayer process and pipe from C++.
Another way is to use a RTSP library (your IP camera probably uses it as protocol)
