Refreshing SmartDashboard Simple Camera Feed
We want to run two cameras this year (for alignment purposes). Right now we're using the Axis M1011 and 206. We would like to turn off a camera when it's not needed to conserve bandwith. We couldn't find a function to turn it off and on. Is there anyway to do that?

We then tried to set the camera that's not in use to a terrible resolution (compression -> 100) after pressing a button on the joystick. However, the SmartDashboard doesn't automatically refresh the feed. We have to disconnect and reconnect for the new settings to take effect or close/reopen SmartDashboard.

Does anyone have a workaround for this? We program in C++ & use Windows.
