Big problem though was at competition out camera feed shut down the whole playing field and we couldn't play because of the massive bandwidth the cameras took. So in the end we had to resort to labview for camera feed.
You can set the frame rate, the compression, and the resolution by going to your camera's ip address in your web browser, going to setup, and changing the settings. The labview dashboard sets these parameters automatically to the option slider things it has. For the smart dashboard, you have to set them in the camera's setup page or it will use way too much bandwidth. (We learned that the hard way )
