Re: Any Camera Substitute?

The extra expense/complexity of the USB camera is paying for and mounting a USB host on the robot. Whereas the IP cameras just plug into the robot bridge.
There's nothing that says the camera must use a particular communication scheme (IP, USB, serial). RoboRealm seems to handle USB cameras as well as IP cameras.
