I haven't seen anything in the rules saying that we can't connect to the camera over HTTP 80 or HTTP 443 using a Web browser. That's what we're planning on doing. We make the camera feed full screen from the browser and then put the Driver Station window on top of the full screen feed. The Driver Station covers the bottom part of the camera feed (we're going to test to make sure we still see enough of the camera view to be useful), but the rules state that the Driver Station must be visible throughout a match so we have to have it on the screen too.
