Mac - 2 USB Logitech Cameras

[teaman]

Hello, I have been using your software using only 1 USB camera and decided to add another USB camera, same model (Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro ). I copied and pasted the program so I can run two separate sessions on my Mac and now both cameras are running properly and are linked to their assigned cameras. Logitech#1 and Logitech #2.

The problems where I am running into is when I try to access my cameras on my IPhone, it is telling me it cant find the user/password I have listed. It seems like the programs are not broadcasting.

So I then only run one program and I still get the same error.

I then unplug one of the cameras, and that is only when I am able to access it.

I then plugged the camera back in and I get the same issue.

I then unplug the other camera and it works fine.

I also made sure the sound is assigned to their cameras and also used other input options.

Both cameras are plugged in separate USB ports on Mac.

It seems the USB cameras when both plugged in, conflict with each other, even thou they are working properly on my MAC.

Is their other mods I might not be aware of? Thanks!

We have gotten reports of multiple USB cameras causing USB bus power issues on MacBooks and Mac Mini's.  What type of Mac do you have?

You can find out if this is the problem you are experiencing by trying to open both cameras in different programs simultaneously (such as iChat, Skype, or Photobooth).

Hi Jay, Thank you for your fast response. I have the Mac Mini. I just finished testing the cameras and was able to use both cameras at the same time using multiple programs.

Im still getting that No Sources Found message when I try to log in using my IPhone 3Gs. Im on the most current version 1.4.2.

I am able to also view both cameras when they are running in separate ICam programs, but I can not log into them.

I also ran 1 program on my Mac Mini, My old HP (XP), and my Samsung (XP) with no problems. Can see all webcams on my Iphone.

If the cameras work simultaneously on other programs, then it doesn't sound like the USB Bus power issue.

The latest version of iCamSource is 1.4.2.5 (http://skjm.com/icam/support.php), but I doubt that's causing the problem.

Are you sure you're selecting different cameras in each instance of iCamSource?  They are the exact same camera, so I could see it being difficult to tell the difference. One way to tell for sure is to point the cameras in different directions so you can tell the cameras apart by looking at the captured video.

Are you able to see video from each camera in both instances of iCamSource?
