We are using controller NI-9137. Is it possible to attach a camera to a USB
port on the front pane of this controller (as shown in the image attached), and
view and save the images and videos through a use of any particular vi?

Hi pratikdeokar,
It depends on a number of things. One important question here is: Is your cDAQ controller running Linux RT or Windows Embedded?
If it is Windows:
Try connecting a simple USB 2.0 camera that is complaint with DirectShow.
If it is Linux RT:
The content in the next articles should apply for your controller:
Which USB3 Vision Cameras are Compatible with USB 2.0 ports on NI Real-Time Targets?
What Cameras Are Supported on NI CompactRIO and Single-Board RIO?
More information on the standards mentioned in the articles:
Is My Camera Supported by National Instruments?

Forgot to mention. In any case you will need to have access to the Vision Acquisition Drivers
