Sounds interesting im paying attention. Why do you want two in two different directions?

I was hopping to use two webcams at the same time. I want one camera fixed for robot navigation an one for a remote user to pan and tilt. The second camera will be only used for remote viewing. Some user here are interested in stereo vision. I am just looking to use the second cam for remote use. According to windows, dual webcams are impossible and not supported. That's why I was confused when DJ came out with the multi camera support. As it is now both webcams are connected by USB. They both will work without any problems, unless there both used or the software is running at the same time, either in windows7 or the ARC. I haven't seen 2 webcams used nor an example of the sort. I bought 2 different webcam to aid in the confusion so they can be identified. I was even thinking on the lines of using one in ARC and one in windows, but it freezes the both up as well. Now I not a-posed to having ARC turn one off when I need the other, just haven't sat down long enough to play with it. Any ideas would greatly appreciated!

Are both cameras significantly different brands/models running their own drivers? I have had no problem running multiple simultaneous cameras on one Windows PC (and within ARC), but they were different brands.

Here is an example of my two cameras looking at each other in ARC. The wireless Camera from the EZ-Robot kit and a Microsoft LifeCam.

Dual webcams work great, as you can see in my demonstration video. I do not know what issues you may be experiencing. Are there any messages in the Debug window?

Hey guys, thanks for all the replies. I am using a Microsoft life cam and a Logitech c110 web cam. Yes I thought that having the same webcam would be a driver or identification issue with the 2 cameras. I haven't had a bunch of time to figure all of it out yet. DJ, I will look into the debugger to see what's going on. Thanks all, you answered my question, it's me. I must be doing something wrong. I thought I seen it some where in here that you can use 2 cams at the same time. Thank you and I will keep posting on my progress.

DJ, I tried to find that demo video for the dual cams. If you could, would you please post a link to it. Thank you very much. By the way, you Rock the robotic world with all you hard work. Thanks again for all that you do for us!

Thanks dude I appreciate that! Positive responses like that help more than people think. It's a lot of development work and support
