I am trying to stream video from 3 cams in my billiards room.
Equipment to date:
3-Genius F100 webcams
3-3 Cat5e patch cables 15', 20', and 40'
3- RJ45 to USB adapter sets
1- 8 port powered hub at the laptop
Software:
Windows 7
Many Cam 4.0
Testing done so far:
Ran Many Cam it detected cam 1 (15') , cam 2(20') nothing from cam 3(40') However did not pick up a video signal it ran a continuous search for 30 minutes.
Plugged all the cams into laptop ran Many Cam with success.
Plugged flash drive into each run and could read the files on runs 1 and 2. Run 3 has a power light on flash drive but laptop doesn't detect the drive. Tried a 4 port powered hub at the adapter at the far end of the run still negative results.
Any and all critiques and suggestions would be appreciated I am a very newb please use basic terms and be as detailed as possible.
Thanks, Mark
