Re: New Camera in Budget, What model and why

the issue we had last year with the USB camera ( Microsoft HD 3000) were with capture speed. 1 FPS was as good as we were able to get(even at very low resolutions), comments, threads, and testing on the CD Java forums indicated this was an issue with the java library and (not the 7MB/s limit to the driver station) for non IP cameras.

I have for my personal use a HP webcam so we might test that at some point but I would rather go with something I know I can get results. Using vision to score goals in autonomous Inspires students, boxing webcam firmware drivers and Java libraries to get a halfway decent view of what the robot is kinda looking at , not so much.

I'm mainly asking if there are any big advantages or pitfalls with the Axis versions. or is it just the one has a slightly larger viewing angle? if this is the case I will just leave it up to the students as to what they think is better (sounds like a fun exercise)
