4 Cameras

Hello all,
I seem to be having a problem getting 4 cameras to run simultaneously on a consistent basis. Three start up fine but the 4 one hangs at Loading Device. Is there a limit to the number of cameras? Or something I can try to fix?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi,

i think it may be the USB limitation. I remember when I was setting mine up I had 3 x 1080p cameras and had to move them around to different ports/hubs because the video stream saturates the USB 3.0 hub. I tried 2 on the hub and it was fine but 3-4 just stopped. Then I moved some off to a different hub (sometimes motherboards have 2 hubs from different manufacturers) and it worked fine. I would try 2 on one hub and 2 on another hub and see what happens. If you get flickering lines, then that hub is getting saturated and can't process the video.

Thanks
