Live House
10:45PM on October 29, 2008
I recently took the plunge in adding myself to live house, I decided to go wih 4 cams runing 247.
the proccess of setting up wasn't all that easy it was fustrating at times and also very annoying too. I had to really get the right things wihin my budget which wasn't that much easy.
I got logitech communicate STX webcams at first , ran them for abotu 2 days had some problems remembering to keep the broadcaster open, and getting use to the humming noise that my computer makes, an finding a way of hiding the bright lights that my computer desktop has.
then around day 3 I saw webcams at a decent price $39.99 for 2 cams in one box. That brand is Ezonics. the cams were neat they had clips, and a cone head shape. I put them up n the shower and the medicine cabinet mirror I thought they would perfect since they clip on to things. One is in the bathroom the other is cliped on to my laptop.
My bedroom has 3 cams and that means 3 different views. One major thing I have learned about live house is you can not get to comfortable with your set up you have to ready to move your cams at any moment if something goes wrong, your computer does an update. or if you forget your on cam and turn off your computer.
Main key things I have learned and figured out with the set up is this
so basically what support does not know is that 4 cams can work on your one computer, if;
A - you have different brands of webcams (ie logitech, creative, labtec, any not popular brand)
B - you have to move them around for he hubs
C - install your cams drivers before you plug them in, and
D - if you stil need more power yo need a powered hub and a interet usb booster.
Also toldby sweetcandies is that if your using HDcams as your voyeur cams you have to do trial and error as a different set up.
Also KISS method keep it simple stupid
i did not spend a shit load of money on my cam and extras
logitech cams were $39 each I have 2 of them. they are logitech comminucate STX
Eznoics buddy pack 2 cams for $39.99
Extention usb cables 8.95 each I have 4 of them at 10 feet long.
