could it be possible to add a function for the C-more touch panels to display video from a IP web camera or security camera? why you ask??? well in many cases I find unsafe working areas for an operator to monitor a process but with an inexpensive IP camera you would be able to see all kind of processes with no danger to workers at the touch panel. this would also be helpful for remote control of a C-more panel :) :) :) just a thought I had. I hope this would be plausible.

C-more could be SEEN from MORE
Despite the USB and Ethernet ports on C-more panels, I doubt they have the processing power to deal with video; have you noticed how slow the web server serves up just a few screen shots?! What you need is a cheap IP (network) video camera.
What I would LOVE to see is a C-More Console application that runs on Mac/Linux, iPhone app, etc. Actually, why can't C-more remote control be done with an industry standard protocol like RDP or VNC?
