Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

The FLIR Cameras have been unreliable at times, so it would be good to research other camera types.

Describe the solution you'd like

Some other possible camera types are:

  • USB cams
  • Pi cams
  • Analog Cams

The goal is to have some of this research done by halfway through the semester (October 25th)
