I'm still waiting for usb3 cameras to come out - they'll be capable of much better frame rates and resolutions, since the sensors are so much better nowadays. e.g. my iphone has 8MP camera, but webcams struggle at 1280x1024!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046079586632841601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262293474703579452.post-90442357316413044502012-10-16T16:44:19.297+01:002012-10-16T16:44:19.297+01:00On I proprietary portable device using a Ti OMAP35...On I proprietary portable device using a Ti OMAP3530, two on-board USB hubs, I have managed to get 4 cameras streaming simultaneously. Two of the cameras were paralleled using an external powered hub. All cameras connect via one of the on-board hubs to the OMAP3530's USB controller, the other hub is used by a USB Wifi modem. All the camera streams are sent to a network client via WLAN. Used quirk 128 on the v4L driver. Caveat - does not work with MS Lifecam Studio which hogs all bandwidth without the quirk, but won't work with it.<br /><br />/PaulAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510809806331338280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262293474703579452.post-31651527366639165652012-09-19T06:31:16.150+01:002012-09-19T06:31:16.150+01:00USB 2.0 just doesn't have the bandwidth needed...USB 2.0 just doesn't have the bandwidth needed for multiple cameras. One hub can support one or two cameras max. The PS3 eye camera has a compression chip that reduces bandwidth and allows up to 4 : however, drivers are only available for windows. Best solution is to buy some cheap USB cards - each card is a new usb subsystem that supports more cameras. I bought two USB3.0 cards for £10 each.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046079586632841601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262293474703579452.post-65943072982116358682012-09-17T21:53:18.343+01:002012-09-17T21:53:18.343+01:00mmm. does this method work if I want to connect 4 ...mmm. does this method work if I want to connect 4 webcams to the same usb-hub?.
