See more detailed info about Splitcam see SplitCam - virtual video clone
REMARK :
- You now only need 1 webcam to go with this solution.
- Next to Yaxcam you need to run Splitcam
- Set up this configuration is more difficult.
You need 4 ports, you have to configure your firewall for all 4 ports.- Since both images are the same, you only need one to view in your browser.
- Install and Configure Splitcam.
