Suggested schedule (per week)

1. Introductory meeting on Thursday/Friday
2. Make, and document, a high level design showing the required threads for the system and how the threads communicate with each other. Document which thread is responsible for triggering the various events in the system (send image, change between movie and idle, etc).
3. Make sure that you have gotten some part of the system running using the fakecamera API.
4. Run some parts of the system against the real Axis cameras using the cameraproxy API.
5. Test running your systems on the actual cameras using compiled Java via the LJRT compiler. Hand-in project homepage link.
