Yawcam

Posted: **Thu Dec 29, 2022 3:57 pm**

Hello and first of all sorry because I am French and I use google translate to write this message.

I installed yawcam on a laptop with data transfer to ftp.

This one works correctly until a bug that I cannot explain. After a few hours (and probably openings/closures of sessions) I receive the same "freezed" image on my ftp server.

The only solution for it to work again is to open yawcam and put the camera on the computer.

It doesn't bother me when I'm there but when I'm on the move, I can't come back home to update the camera output...is this bug known to users? Is it possible to force the camera to always stay on the laptop? (there is however no other camera connected to the computer..).

Thanks for your help.

PS: attached the last photo of the bug that I receive every 2 seconds on my ftp

This is really inconvenient. I also had the same problem when transferring data. Hope there is some solution.

If you have problems with a totally black or frozen image, please make sure that Windows doesn't disable the camera's USB port to save power.
Try with these settings.

1)
Open the Device Manager:
Right click on the Windows start icon/menu and then select Device Manager.

2)
Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers and for every USB Root Hub right click and select Properties.
