Oddly timed picture taking

Post by joemaniaci »

I have finally been working with this all day to see a pattern, at least when it does decide to take some pictures. I have it set to be motion activated and take pictures every five seconds. However, what happens is that I get two pictures that are back to back(five seconds apart) and then I go either 30 or 60 seconds before I get another set of two back to back pictures.

The computer is using windows 7 64-bit with a dual core running at 2.0. With two gigs of memory.

I personally think this computer just can't handle it. It has a microsoft lifecam vx-5000 and even when it is not doing anything, the lifecam software complains about not having enough resouces.

I'll bet that this is the same issue as reported in the following topics:

This is a pretty common misunderstanding and current limitation.
