Are you asking if you can transmit data from the camera to a laptop in the drivers station?

If so, the answer is yes, PROVIDED that you meet the following conditions:
  1. All transmissions must use the radio modem.
  2. The laptop must be part of the OI and on internal batteries.
  3. The camera must be powered by the robot battery.
  4. Cost requirements are met
Doing it this way means that the camera is a sensor. If you fail to meet all of the conditions, then the inspectors will ask you to modify the design, as the rules have been violated. Also see this thread.
