Two Cameras Installation

[sOulbAit]

Hi Guys:

Love the program and have been using it for about two weeks now. I did a search on my question and did not find it, so I am posting it here.

I had one camera running on Icamsoucre Version 2.2.2 - All works great.

I ordered a second camera and installed. When I run icamsource it gives me a selection of either camera and they work fine on the one I select.

I was under the impression I could run up to four cameras under this program on one computer at the same time?

I do not see a way to select both from the program, only one or the other. On some of the post they are talking about running two icamsource programs. If this is true, how to I get two of the same program running at the same time on the same computer?

Or am I just totally overlooking the obvious (and there is a way to select both cameras from the one running program? hehehhehehe

I am running windows 7 64bit.

Thanks you so much.

You can add add up to 16 webcams or network IP cameras from a single computer, although your computer's hardware limitations (USB bus, CPU, memory) may further limit that number.

To add a camera, click on the + button underneath the cameras pane (for a screenshot go to http://skjm.com/icam/help/#setup) and follow the instructions below:

For USB, FireWire, or Built-In webcams, you should be able to make your choice from the Audio and Video drop-down lists underneath the USB / FireWire / Built-In tab.

If you add a stand-alone network IP camera, you first need to find the correct MJPEG or JPEG URL for your camera. Enter it along with your camera's Login and Password (if any) into the iCamSource.

More detailed instructions are available at our Getting Started pages: http://skjm.com/icam/help/#setup

If you have any other issues or questions, please let me know.

Wow that was quick.

Thank you so much. I followed the instructions and they work perfect for the videos.

I do have one conflict in the audio: I have a microsoft studio and a microsoft cinema. If I am just running the studio, I can select the studio audio mic (it works fine). When I add the cinema camera It will not work (cinema video) if I have the studio using the studio audio mic. I have to change audio to (no audio) for the second camera (cinema) to work. With both cameras going, I CAN use the cinema camera with the Cinema mic and both work find. It just seems to be the studio not being about to use the studio mic.

Thanks again for all the great help. I can live with out the studio mic working.

Have a great day.

We've heard reports of problems of certain Mac models that prevent multiple USB cameras working simultaneously due to an issue with the USB bus. It isn't a problem with iCamSource in particular, because the problem occurs with other programs as well.

You can find out if this is the problem you are experiencing by trying to open two of the cameras in different programs simultaneously (such as iChat or Photobooth).  For example, open one camera in Photobooth and then try to open a different camera in iChat.

Also, other users discuss this particular issue on this thread: http://skjm.com/forum/index.php?topic=1910.0
