Generally, if a camera is being accessed by one program, another program isn't able to access it.  There are ways around this with third-party programs, but by default, a camera can only be accessed by one program at a time.

Are the cameras pointing at totally different things, so that you can tell the cameras apart by the video that is being displayed?  If so, are the iCamSource  window and the iChat window simultaneously displaying identical video when iChat is accessing the same camera being used by iCamSource (as described in your post)?

-Is there a way to find out which program is accessing which camera?
-Running Snow leopard on an old macbookpro (2008) 17" trying to connect 2 logitech 600 usb (not using isight)
-tried connecting one camera to one side and the second to the other side.... doesnt work
-I can only get one camera to work at a time no matter which USB port is being used so both cameras and usb ports all work fine
-the only way i can get the no audio option is if I have one USB camera hooked up and only one icam source started...
-I then hook up the second camera and start icam source2 and nothing shows up, and no option for no audio on the drop down menu. but i do see the second camera on the drop down. In this instance Logitech Camera #2
-tried having 1 icam running and ichat started... ichat cannot access the second camera
-tried running ichat and evo cam no luck there either

is there a modified usb driver or controller that you are using that is allowing you to hook up 2 of the same make and model USB cameras to a MBP and having them work fine? I have the newest icam source running and everything as far as apples end is updated on my mac book pro.... any help would be appreciated...

I posted a while ago about trying to do this with my mac mini server but I gave up and settled on just having one camera hooked up to that computer... But I really do need to have this mac book pro up and running with 2 USB cameras..... wife and I love the app and really hope to have this going...

Yes they are directly plugged into the mac mini and yes the audio drop down option is available when only one camera is connected. Sorry was in a rush last night and thought I mentioned that. Thanks for the quick response.

iCam Support / 2 USB cams, 1 Mac Mini Server

Hey guys great app!

I read through a good amount of the posts dating back to january that may have solved my problems but the only post close to my issue the OP didnt respond and looks like the post is dead.

I have:
1 Airport connected to a TWC Road Runner modem.
2 logitech C600 USB web cams
1 MacMini Server running mac OSX Server 10.6.2 completely updated

I have absolutely no problems with just one iCamsource running. Can connect over wifi and 3g

When I connect the other c600 and load another icamsource... I cannot connect 3g or wifi.
I can see images on both iCamsource windows... Window 1 for camera 1, and window 2 for camera 2. I cannot change the drop down for audio to no audio and I can only toggle video sources.

If I disconnect the second camera and quit both iCamsource and reload 1, everything runs fine again.

Thanks for any help!
