Re: Using a "Cloud Camera 1100" in the Dashboard
Sounds reasonable. You will need to manually assign the camera the IP address of 10.te.am.11. You normally do this via web page. The instructions say that the default IP is 192.168.0.20.

Anyway, once you have the IP, you type that into a browser window and the camera will log you in and allow you to change stuff. Since this isn't Axis, none of the tools that do this stuff for you will work, but this is how they work under the scenes.

I couldn't find details on the CGI commands needed to control the camera. If you can get it to send MJPGs or JPEGS, you may be able to get portions of WPILib camera stuff to work. Otherwise, your choices are to use a web page or dlink app to view the camera and place that window over the dashboard, or to reverse engineer the protocol using something like wireshark.
