iCam Support / Frame rate great on Mac, Terrible on PC
« on: July 26, 2012, 11:49:18 AM »
I have iCamSource 2.5 installed on two different macs, 16 cameras added, runs beautifully.
I have iCamSource 2.5 installed on three different windows PCs (1 xp, 2 win 7) and even with one camera, on all three systems, the framerates are absolutely terrible. The XP machine is about 4 years old, while the two win 7 machines are less than 1 year and very high end.
All computers are on the same network. (gigabit, copper and fiber) Frame rate stays the same whether on 3G, LTE, or Wifi - great for mac host, bad for win hosts. I have always had this problem in the past and wanted to note it here on the forum so that the windows source can be updated to work as well as the mac. I'd like to hear from anyone who is using the windows source software that is having good luck.
I also noticed on the windows version, you can add more than 16 cameras - which is a feature I greatly desire, but it crashes when you try to start the service. On the mac version you cannot add more than 16 cameras... can this feature be added?
Can anyone shed some light or point something out I may be doing incorrectly?
