How do I get my 2 web-cams to work on 1 computer?  I can get the cameras to work on two seperate programs at the same time on the computer but not in the  ICam program at the same time.  I have a microsoft web cam and a Veo web-camera, they both worked together with Netmeeting and ICamrunning at the same time but I want the 2 web-cams working together in ICam from the same computer.  The computer is a Dell PC.  Everything else works fine.  Help.  Thanks..

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
