Prevents Time Machine from doing backups 100% of the time. - Version: 3.6.6, 1/7/2010 12:02PM PST

Evocam now crashes everyday we don't know why. Here is an earlier 12/22/09 unedited email to Evocam support and their response:

> We use Evocam and archive timelapse movies from triggered motion sensors.
> Problem: I am on a Mac 2 x 2.8 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Tower running OS 10.6.2 with Time Machine.
>
> 100% of the time, Time machine will stall, continues to TRY and backup, but will not.
> Only fix? Quit Evocam.

Unfortunately it is QuickTime which is preventing backups while video is being captured, so we're
not able to fix or work around this problem in EvoCam.

Evocam is excellent and I've been using it for years. But if you need technical assistance, forget it. Lately, I've been having a problem and emailed them for some help. It's been more than a week and I have not heard from them yet. Great software, but lousy technical support. Any alternatives to evocam?

Using with TrendNet - Version: 3.6.1, 12/28/2008 02:47PM PST

I've been playing with EvoCam used with two TrendNet network cameras and the built-in camera on my iMac. It's well worth the price. I've successfully setup my airport extreme so that it maps the port of the iMac and see the EvoCam web server from outside my local network. (the EvoCam documentation doesn't explain how to do that.) I'm still experimenting with using the motion capture settings. Given the price I am amazed at how many features EvoCam has. The combination of the cheap TrendNet cameras and the inexpensive server software allows you to set up a very powerful video setup. It wold be good program for a bed and breakfast that wanted to setup a webcam of the view of the local mountaintop.
