My reply on this thread turned out to not be as relevant as I thought towards OP's question, but maybe it can help you. DISCLAIMER: This is java-specific. You might want to specify what language you're coding in.

I found a solution at http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=132686 (http://http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=132686) turns out there is no need to code if you are using the default dashboard to display the camera view:]

One more question: do the Microsoft USB camera take less bandwidth than the axis cameras?:]

Hello guys, i just tested the instruction above on the robot, the camera was on but no images appeared on the FRC control panel. How do I solve that problem?

PS: the blue light on the Microsoft HD Camera 3000 flashes twice but turns off after that.

Was the camera plugged in when you booted the roboRIO? If not, I would try that. And make sure you have selected USB HW or USB SW on the dashboard.
