If you connect the camera to a dlink, there doesn't have to be image processing, but like any computer, the cRIO can connect to the camera and request images.

If you connect to the cRIO, only the cRIO can request images.

It is far easier to connect to the camera with a browser if it is on the dlink. When it is plugged into the cRIO, it is private. There are technically some ways to change routing tables, but now you don't need to do those things.

If FIRST fields start to connect to your camera and stream images, there is some overhead, and it will interfere with your robots access to the images. There isn't a ton of interference, but most likely they won't be doing this. It would be pretty cool though.
