Dan,
How did you overcome using the masks
in
Gotcha with multiple cameras using only a single cam setup in Gotcha? I
wanted
to use this so the cams were live for capture 24/7, the only way was a
multi-capture card that dealt with up to four cams on separate streams,
those cards are not cheap. As I understand it this
cannot be
done using web cams at all, IMO, thereby negating the usefulness and
responsiveness
of a security camera setup. Since I have trees and bushes that tend to sway
about a bit when the wind gets up this is a problem using motion detection
and
capture, damn shrubbery, the upside of said green things of course is that
they
do afford a fair bit of privacy around the
property.
I agree though that Gotcha is a very
good
piece of software but to get the best from a multi-cam setup I do think you
need seem decent hardware.
K.

I use gotcha for 2 years now and it locks only if
you
have a bad camera driver.
Now I have a Philips ToU Cam Pro connected to Gotcha and
it
never locks. I think this is one of the best webcams available on the
market
(<1lux, CCD, full automatic or manual
adjustments).
Gotcha! works great on Windows 9x/2000/XP (tested by
me).
The main issue can be the camera driver.
Let's say, the Philips ToU Cam XS is one of the worst
possible solution for Gotcha. It hangs a lot (especialy in XP) and it is
allmost unusable at low light.
P.S. I'll check the supervision site. It is the first
time I
hear about this product.
