Re: Camera lag solution

Try logging in to the camera and setting it to the best possible settings (640x480 resolution, 0 compression, automatic exposure and white balance, etc). For us, this reduced the lag time from 5 seconds to half a second.

Now for the half-second delay...I created another thread just before I saw this one, so I'll be following the suggestions in this thread.
