Hello,
I am working on a vision inspection project in which I have to use around 12 USB cameras to capture 12 different images. I am getting so problems by conntecting these cameras with my computer as they are placed at a bit long distence (around 5 meters). I have tried USB hubs and powered USB hubs but the still I am getting some problems. While doing a bit of reseach on net, I came across the term "Network USB Hub".
These are some product links:

http://www.digitus.info/en/products/network/multifunction-network-servers/fast-ethernet-network-usb-...
Before I buy, I want know few things reguarding this "Network USB Hub",
- Is this product compatible with LabVIEW?
- Has anyone used it with LabVIEW?
- Does it get displayed on NI MAX as NI MAX show other devices?
- Is there any other effective way to handle these many cameras and which is also compatible with LabVIEW and NI Vision development module?
