Hit the nail on the head. We are using 2 camera's, one for alignment for our shooter and another for our ball intake/bridge pusher. We power both off the 5V Wago supply using a terminal strip.

We have had no problems with lag/dropped packets or any other communication issues, I believe our video resolution on each camera is set to 640x480 in the camera f/w. The default dashboard works fine for 1 camera. Since we use 2 camera's we modified our dashboard (along with some other info). Here is a link to our Google Code repository, which includes the Dashboard project
