I also had that problem, until talking to my ISP one day and found out they had to give me a static IP address in order for it to work. Something to do with their blocking system. Got a static and it works just fine.

Just a thought.

Use different ports for the second camera say 8082 and 8083 or whatever you choose as long as they are unique
I also use the netgear and have 3 cameras running.

Not sure how you would change cameras. but I stream on three different ports. EG xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8087, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8088, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8081

Then when offsite, I can select the camera I want.

I'm running 3 instances with no problems so it can be done

Right now, I have three wireless cameras that I am using: Edimax IC3030 This is a daylight only camera with no power tilt or pan.

Gotcha! Sometimes us old folks have a time thinking:})

Open "Window", "Motion Detection", "Actions" and in about the middle, there is a box in the "Image Options" to "Add Overlay". Make sure it is checked.
Also, it is "funny" as I don't get the overlay in the preview window!

Works on mine, I have the time stamp info in the text area for "Text #1" and have the various colors set and it puts a time stamp at the top of my pictures.
Have it working on two different cameras.

Eric,
Check out this thread:

as several of us have had the same problem:{(

Good luck

As stated earlier, some of us had to backup to V 0.3.6 in order to get it to work.

I also had that problem and in accordance with my original thread on this problem: http://www.yawcam.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... highlight=

it appears to be a memory usage problem, In other words, if you start to hit the swap file, it will go blank.

In a way, glad to see I am not the only one having that problem. I was beginning to think it was me (and that would not be unusual!)
