			Since I wanted to make the camera play nice with Internet Explorer users, I programmed the Power, Wake, and Sleep like so:

			Wake - This switches the camera into MJPEG streaming mode, since this is the format ZM can capture video from the camera.

			Sleep - This switches the camera into MPEG streaming mode, so when there are no ZM users accessing the camera, IE users get better sound quality in MPEG mode.

			Reset - Same as Sleep mode.

			'''So, huge note:'''

			'''You won't get any video in ZM unless you manually set the camera into "JPEG" mode using IE in Windows,'''

			'''or you PRESS THE "WAKE" BUTTON IN ZM!!!'''
