Re: Camera in Grayscale

The LabVIEW WPILib has a function to set the Color Enable Property. True means color is enabled. False means the camera is grayscale. But the property is only supported for Axis cameras. JPEGs have a special encoding for grayscale images, and they are indeed smaller than color, but it isn't as simple as a threeX ratio.

As mentioned by others, there are other effective ways to reduce bandwidth. Image resolution reduces by X squared. Framerate by X.
