Re: Best USB Camera for a Rookie Team

Our Microsoft life cam 3000 worked fine during development but largely would not work at 2 regionals when we were on the field. We were eventually told by the FTA that there is a known incompatibility between it and the field management system (FMS). I can't remember if it was java related but we do program in Java. We are using it for human vision (not robot targeting). We had to go out Thursday night of a regional and buy the only Network Camera in stock (a dlink) but had numerous issues again on the field and last I heard we got it going somewhat. It would not work in IE or Chrome. Again I believe FMS + Java were involved in the problem.
