Impossible to make work the new version of camlan 2.9 in mode customer to server. Test performed on 4 different networks with 3 marks of webcam usb. it does not work! Not answer of the support of the editor to my mails.
Have you a more archive version of camlan 1.x because this one worked well?

Add a RemoteCam and use the Server/Client Network:
In the following example we have 2 PCs, where one PC wants to view the camera connected to the other PC.
1. PC1: Here is the camera connected.
Select the "Video Network" dialog from the "Settings" dialog.
2. PC1: Press the "Start This PC As Server" button to start the video server.
Press the "Start This PC As Client" button to start the video client too. Now the client can send (internal) the video picture to the server. Close the dialog.
3. PC1: Select from the main dialog the camera which you want to transfer over the network. Then open the "General Settings" dialog from the "Adjust Camera" dialog.
4. PC1: Adjust the "Video Server Settings" . Check "Send The Camera Picture To The Video Server" so that the camera is sending its picture to the server. Adjust the sending interval (this determines the receiving interval at the client which uses this camera as RemoteCam) and the picture quality. The camera picture is sended in JPG format. Less picture quality reduces the needed network bandwidth! Close the dialog.
The connected camera is now sending its picture to the video server. The video server handles now one camera with the related pictures.
5 . PC2: Select the "Video Network" dialog from the "Settings" dialog
6. PC2: Insert the IP address of PC1 (server) into the "IP Address of the Video Server" fields.
7. PC2: Press the "Start This PC As Client" button to start the video client. Close the dialog.
Now PC2 (clinet) is connected to PC1 (server). You can do this for all instances running CamLAN (CamPermanent or CamUniversal), so that PC3,4,... are connected to the server. There is always only one server in a network and one or many clients.

8. PC2: Select the "Remote Camera" dialog from the "New Camera" dialog.
9. PC2: Press the "Connect To Remote Video Server" button to connect to the server. If the connection is established all cameras from the server PC are listed under "Available Remote Cameras".

The message : No picture are received !!!

Hello,

version 1.7 is different to version 2.9.
Now the video network is a little bit different to configure.
But it is better running and you don't need to cascade the PCs, this is a big advantage.

Have you done exact the steps from the tutorial?
It is important, that you start on the PC where the camera is connected not only the server but also the client. Then send from the client the video picture to the server. You do this if you check "Send the camera picture to the video server" for this camera. Are the yellow and green bars from the main dialog light up? Are there small blocks blocks running through the bars?
This shows you, that there are pictures sended and received!
If this is working, you can adjust the second PC.
