True Basix Camara Web Drivers For Mac
Thanks for the reply. I just want to use more than 2 web cams.
Before you can get started with iWebcamera you need to install the drivers on your computer. Windows Drivers. IWebcamera Windows Drivers v2.1b - Zipped - 2298kb; iWebcamera Windows Drivers v2.1b - Self Extracting - 2028kb; Before installing the drivers, ensure that the.NET Framework 3.5 redistributable is installed on your computer.
Ideally I want to use 12. They are USB cameras and I am using Eyeline Video System (detail found here) I am trying to work out what is the limiting factor on the number of USB web cams that I can have. I am guessing it is one of four things. USB bandwidth (though I tried reducing the allowed bandwidth for each camera, didn't help) 2.
Graphics Card 3. Number of processors/processing power/or some components on the motherboard 4. Windows Vista? While it could be a driver issue, that too seems unlikely. If your OS recognizes the devices, then it shouldn't be an issue.
What make/model of webcam(s) are you using? Also, how are you physically attaching the various cameras to your computer (directly to USB ports on the mobo, to USB ports attached to mobo headers, to USB hubs, etc)? This is definitely not a processor, GPU/video card, Vista issue, nor a bandwidth issue. This is an app/driver issue. What other security surveillance apps have you tried?
Will research this some more and see what I can come up with for you. Curioser and curioser. For my project, I need them all to be running simultaneously, so a switcher wont suffice. They are all plugged directly into the back of my computer, I have tried plugging them into a HUB as well. So I have managed to borrow another USB web cam of a different brand. There is no problem running it at the same time.
So I can run 2 of the same USB cameras and 1 different one (using Eyeline). On the other hand I have managed to find a program that claims. This simple tool grabs the video signal coming from your webcam and records it straight away to your hard drive, in MPEG2 or AVI format, provided you have the necessary codecs.' I don't know how this differs from other software, but for some bizarre reason, I can run/record off up to 3 identical USB web cams (running multiple instances of AMCap). But unable to run 4!!
(running 3 plus the different brand USB web cam was no problem) So now I am completely confused! Thank you COLGeek for helping me out. I feel like we are becoming detectives with all the research/searching we've been doing. (All cams a definitely working, they are 'Inki1 2.0 USB PC Camera' the other cam was some cheap Logitech cam).

(All cams a definitely working, they are 'Inki1 2.0 USB PC Camera' the other cam was some cheap Logitech cam) Now I am really intrigued by what you are seeing. From a USB perspective, 12 webcams shouldn't be a big deal. The bus will manage with what ever bandwidth it has available (including power).
So this points back to the drivers and the apps. In your 3+1 example, it is possible that the Inki1 driver has a limitation.
I am just not familiar with that product. I'll keep digging and see if I can come up with a better solution or explanation. BTW, be sure to check out JDFan's link.
Thanks JDFan. Actually that was one of the first programs that I tested, I have tried about 10 by now. I think it has to be a driver problem from what I've found on the net. A lot of people have had problems with identical USB cameras (when they use different types it usually works).
Also I found multiple sites that claim this to be a driver issue. The thing that confuses me is that regarding many of the problems other's have had, they couldn't simultaneously work more than 1 cam.
Let alone 2 or 3. What could possibly be the driver issue between running 2, 3 or 4? I want to try down-grading one of the drivers running one of the identical cams (resulting possibly, in removing one driver conflict instance?). However, I can't find older version of the required drivers. Otherwise I suspect changing the registry might allow for a workaround? Is there any driver information I could find and report back here that might suggest a driver conflict?
(but as you said the computer can recognise the physical address of all 4 separate identical cams). Thanks JDFan.

(but as you said the computer can recognise the physical address of all 4 separate identical cams) The identical drivers is definitely the problem. I am experiencing the same problem in an app I am developing. Let windows drive one and let the default driver drive the second. This should work with two different cams the same way allowing 4 and so on but I haven't tested it yet.
By default through my investigation and emails to Logitec, drivers are made to work with only one cam at a time or you will get device already in use message. Go into device manager and uninstall default driver for one cam of same model and let windows install their driver. Pro tools 10 torrent for mac.
Let the default driver drive the second. Do this in pairs of different models even from same manufacturer and it should fix the problem. Yours anyway. I need the same cams for my app so if you have found another answer please post it. I have tried both, using a HUB and using the 8 usb ports on my computer Eagletron's Campanel handles multiple cameras well with no problem SO LONG AS THEY ARE DIFFERENT CAMERAS / drivers. One exception I have had working: Hauppauge WINTV Go TV tuner cards with NTSC CCTV input signals (Had four of these running in one WinXP machine) will NOT work with WINXPPro or Win7 however.
Eagletron claims to have had success running multiple Logitech HD910 and HD9000 usb cams simultaneously (I haven't tried this personally - its next on my list) AND claims to have had success with ITuner Spectra-8 card (again CCTV) Too pricey for my play toys. Their software will also accomodate IP cameras, but to get true 720p or 1080p in an IP cam is, again, PRICEY. Hope this helps.

Grant196, Great for a Photo booth if you are using a WebCam If you have a Macintosh Computer you already have the program Photo Booth and for a very small investment you can set up a very nice Photo Booth, this program Webcam Settings supplies everything you need to have basic controls of your WebCam. Forget about printing the pictures, Apple’s program Photo Booth makes it very easy to apply effects and email the photo you have just taken, in my opinion much nicer then printing some little strip of pictures. Everyone has a smart phone now days and they can forward it to anyone they want to. Well worth the small price that they charge. Anyone can be taught to use it in about 15 minutes.
This would be a really nice add-on service for any videographer, photographer, or anyone just wanting to set up what has become a very popular Service for any special event. And the nice thing you can email the pictures allowing you to charge a much lower fee then people who print the pictures.

Microsoft LifeCam 1080p on El Capitan Title says it all reallyI use a Microsoft LifeCam 1080p on OS X El Capitan. I put off buying this app for the longest time and today I just said screw it, I’m going to get it. I know it seems rather expensive for just a basic functioning app like this that sends USB commands and that’s pretty much it — however, it does work really well and also has the option to save profiles, which I really like.
Even works with the built in Face Time camera. I’m giving it 4 stars because I believe this app should cost only 4.99 — however I realize that Apple takes a cut of every sale, so that’s probably why it’s priced like it is. To the developer — thank you very much, my videos are looking so much better now. Nickxxs, Works great!

Dsillustration, Fantastic for Artists I do a lot of online drawing and painting demonstrations. Unfortunately, my webcam constantly focuses on my hands instead of my painting, or drastically changes the color balance every time a new color is added to the image.
Not only is this frustrating, but it renders the demonstration useless in most cases. Even the firmware that came with my webcam does not do this (not on the Mac at least). This program remedies these problems like a champ! I can set the white balance, focus, and exposure to my liking and then lock it there. It took just a few seconds effort, and now my videos are so much better. Well worth the $8 in my opinion!!!
