I am thinking of live video from cam as background, I want to choose point by mouse click so I can focus on this point with servo motor to put it in the center . the problem: it seems I can't use "ginput" on video, can I?, I thought maybe I could press key in realtime so I get screenshot "imshow" which I can choose point from! but I couldn't achieve this code.

If the live video is placed into a matlab figure object - then it might be easy. This code tracks the mouse and shows the click points.
function gui_test()
hf = figure(1)
set(hf,'WindowButtonMotionFcn',cb_mm);
set(hf,'WindowButtonDownFcn',@cb_fig);
set(hf,'WindowButtonUpFcn',@cb_fig);
function cb_mm(h,e)
%disp(e.Source)
disp(h.CurrentPoint)
end
function cb_fig(hobj,e)
%disp(e.Source)
disp(hobj.CurrentPoint);
end
end

I just checked 2007 as follows:
h=figure(1)
inspect(h)
It also has the Window... Fcn for callback.
However, the dot notation is possibly only 2014b, use get(hobj,'CurrentPoint') instead. This runs in 2007.
function gui_test()
function cb_mm(hobj,e)
%disp(e.Source)
disp(get(hobj,'CurrentPoint'));
end
function cb_fig(hobj,e)
%disp(e.Source)
disp(sprintf('click at %d %d', get(hobj,'CurrentPoint')));
end
hf = figure(1)
findfigs
set(hf,'WindowButtonMotionFcn',@cb_mm);
set(hf,'WindowButtonDownFcn',@cb_fig);
set(hf,'WindowButtonUpFcn',@cb_fig);
end
