iCam Support / Re: False Notifications

I would use that setting. 

I do get light change notifications every once in a while and they're always just one frame so having an option to ignore 1, 2, 3 frames might be useful?

Thanks for the reply. I just tried both, neither worked. The built in iSight simply won't start.... any other ideas? Thank you!!

Do you have any other USB cameras connected?  I've recently found that the built-in iSight is on an internal USB buss and any other USB cams will conflict.  But it should work by itself.

'wanted to stop by and offer update...

i grabbed another stupid cheap usb webcam - connecting both on one USB hub won't play nice together. however, on separate hubs they will work together.  hassle to test these hub/port combinations but we're now up to 3 cams including the firewire isight.  I'll keep playing around with adding more cams/hubs...

iMac system profiler says built-in isight is internal USB and it interferes with any USB cam.  but at least on separate hubs I can get more than one USB cam working at a time. 

not using the built-in isight for icam source is fine for my situation because I'd rather leave it available for skype and/or other video purposes.

okay, more info - tested with both ichat and photo booth...  usb and firewire sight cams will work together.  however, built-in isight (newer iMac snow leopard) won't work with the usb cam.  firewire isight does work with built-in isight but of course that's all apple stuff.

so now i do have icam working with usb and firewire isight cams.  next test is to find out if more than one usb cam will work on the usb buss. 

btw - thanks again for your responses and know that we really enjoy icam on our ipad.

Have you tried opening one camera in Photobooth and the other camera in iChat (as described above)?

This is my thread I started today - http://skjm.com/forum/index.php?topic=2000.0 'just figured out to be  same problem. 

I can access all 3 cameras in skype and photobooth.  not at the same time in the same software but i can select usb cam in photobooth and then select firewire isight or built-in isight with skype.  vice versa, or any combination, etc.  I use skype instead of ichat but i don't think that makes much difference. 

what should i try next? i get the feeling it doesn't like firewire and built-in while handling a usb cam?

ah ha, so you can't have isight (firewire or built-in) running at the same time as a usb camera?  that seems kinda silly...

iCam Support / usb cam recognized by icam but no picture

« on: April 26, 2011, 02:58:05 PM »

mac os x 10.6.7 - built-in isight and a 2nd firewire isight camera work fine.  i bought a usb 2 camera that shows up in the add camera window but never delivers a picture to icam monitoring window or ipad app. 

this usb camera works in skype as the others do - any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. 

thanks
