Camera on cRIO

[UIA]

Hi, i am a student from Norway who found this forum thro google. We are curently doing a prodject on an atonmous robot.

We are using a CompactRIO as a controll unit. And we need to have a vision system, but we can not afford the camera module from NI. Does anybody here have som experince with using a serial conectet camera on the cRIO? Or is there another alternativ? I found another thread abaot some people using an axis camera, would that be a good alterantiv?
