Human Vision Camera compatiable with FMS & Java ?

[Greg McKaskle]

Could you give details on who is telling you that the Lifecam 3000 is no longer supported for Java?

That URL makes it sound ... supported. The other camera setup page for Axis calls out the Axis 206, Axis M1011 and Axis M1013 as being supported. In reality any Axis camera that supports their Vapix API would work with WPILib API. And Driver Cameras don't even need any of this. They will most likely support an MJPEG stream or H.264 stream or similar, and the compatibility is then up to the dashboard viewer to connect to the stream. I've seen a number of teams use a web browser opened to the stream.

By the way, lots of USB cameras will also work. I've had good luck with the Logitech 310 and 270. They cost far less than Axis and typically less than an IP camera. They do place a bit processing load on the roboRIO CPU, but that isn't typically an issue.
