IP Camera in Freeboard
I'd like to get an IP camera to assist with docking, viewing the stream through the Freeboard UI.
Before I go out and get one, are there any particular requirements of what will and will not work?

Is Freeboard the right tool for the job? Would opening a new window with the video be more suitable?
FSK can surface a Picture in Picture of a video stream compatible the native browser / html function.
In settings go to the video section and check
enable video and provide a url to the video stream.
This will place a camera button on the right of screen to open the video.
Note this feature is totally dependent on the browser support for the PiP function.PiP works well if I just put in the URL of an MP4 hosted somewhere, just needed to confirm requirements for the camera before I purchase.
So, anything that can provide a HTML5 video stream.
Shouldn't be too hard to find.
