Re: Question regarding Network Cameras

The FRC libraries are written to the VAPIX API, a proprietary HTTP based library from Axis. It provides rich configuration support. Other IP cameras can certainly work, but many of them don't allow for updates to the full set of imaging parameters. And they will have a different commands. If you choose to use another IP camera, you can open a connection using a web browser, and you can describe that URL using Network Tables so that the default and Smart dashboards will work as well. The brightness and other settings will likely not work, however.

All Axis cameras I've tested since the 206 use the same API, though some of the subset it a bit.
