can i use two identical webcam on same computer?
« on: September 02, 2012, 12:59:02 AM »
hello there i need to ask some question, i already buy the icam on my ipad, and install icamsource on my laptop, the icam works perfectly, i'm using logitec c170 on my laptop(windows 7) and i use the integrated webcam on my laptop also, so there are 2 cam running at the icam, but the integrated webcam on my laptop is so lack of light( darker images) so i end up buying another logitech c 170, but upon installation on the 2nd logitech c170 i encountered a problem, the webcam identified as usb web camera, rather as logitech c170 as on the first logitech c170, and the icam also identified the 2nd as usb web camera.
as i connect both of them the only one that works is the first (logitec c170) and the 2nd(usb web cam) also detected on icamsource but didnt show any video at all, when i unplug the first, the 2nd(identified as wsb web camera) works perfectly..

can anybody help me, how can i get both of them works at the same time? thanks before

Are you able to see a feed from your "2nd" camera in any other video capture software?

Hello, i'm finally be able to set my 1st and 2nd logitech c170 to work, all i need is to turn off the integrated webcam, so i'm only using two camera on icam, as i add another camera on the preference and i choose integrated webcam, and press start, the only working camera is the 1st and 2nd logitec, and when i unplug either 1st and 2nd, the integrated webcam works, as well as the one of the logitec i didn't unplug.

Are you wanting to delete the built-in camera from iCamSource? If so, you can delete it from the cameras list in the iCamSource preference pane by selecting the camera in the list and clicking the delete (-) button below the cameras list.
