There is nothing that "simulates" the cRIO without a tone of programming. Usually, simulation code is written separately.

It is possible to access the axis camera without the cRIO. It is a network camera, so your IP would have to be on the same subnet for anything to work. I just had a look at the WPI camera library, and it looks like it is written almost completely in G code. This means that using on the PC should be really easy. Just make sure the you specify the right IP, (If you changed the camera's IP) and your VI is targeted to your PC and not the cRIO. (Open new vi, making sure it is not under the cRIO in the project tree. It can be dragged to the right location)
Edit: Even if you cannot get the axis camera working, a static picture will work with the Vision VIs on the PC. The NI-IMAQdx utility can handle most USB web cameras. If you can install this module, (from the NI website) it would allow you to test the vision logic without the axis camera.
