Hi,
i am currently searching for a compatible Camera, that i could integrate into ARC, only for visual orientation, no special tracking features needed (i know of the limits in calculations with highresolutions..)
Currently, i am building a prototype of a Rover-Robot, and i am using the integratet Camera from JDs Head. Its OK, but as i am using a Valve Index for steering it (which is totally awesome, btw), i am looking for something with higher resolution but still compatible with EZ-B v4 and Virtual Reality Plugin.
As far as i found out, most Webcams you can connect to via USB or WiFi are usable. Before i go shopping, what are you using, and got to work? Maybe even with Virtual Reality?
Any webcam suggestions welcome
Happy Halloween!

Thanks for your response DJ.
The reason why i am asking is, that many of todays WiFi Webcams only provide App-Support for Android/iOS and cannot be connected through IP adress or browser, or something. So you have to use their own app, because nothing else would work
Next thing is, they use different formats and you wrote in your Camera Device Doc, "JPEG Snapshot HTTP Video" is a requirement to get it working. Most webcam-sellers do not state this in their "feature-page" so it is hard to select, which cam supports this and which do only provide different transfer methods.
But, i was able to get a impression of high-resolution VR streaming over WiFi, as i managed to turn my Android Phone into a webcam with this amazing and very customizable app: IP Webcam There you can also choose to receive JPG Snapshots, and this works flawless with the Camera Device plugin AND Virtual Reality. It is amazing to see a 1920x1080 stream in your headset through the eyes of your robot
So, if any users out there where able to use a real WiFi Camera in their setup, please let me know! For now, i will try to integrate the Android Smartphone as a temporary solution, thanks!
