Nah, I haven't heard of icamview, but having a quick look at it now and it looks like it probably does the same thing I am attempting to do. (Although at a little more cost for the unit).
Reading the UVC lists and there is a patch to fix the problem with the newer HD cameras so that they don't hog all the BW on the USB Bus.

I will give it a crack tomorrow and see how it goes.

nope, i will use it wired.

I have found a problem with the cameras I am using c910. With UVC it appears the camera requests all the BW over the USB Controller, so I can't add 2 to the same dockstar.  I will have to keep playing with it.

Hey Purps,

The Current Draw from the Dockstar plus one camera is just less than .5Amps. It requires 12Volts so if you step down the 48V POE to 12 Volts you can pull about 1Amp.
So there should be just enough power to do 2 Cameras off the one Dockstar. I will be testing today and let you know.

I will also be putting the external serial connector on it like MDH1966 suggests as this is required to upgrade.

Hey All,

I am not sure if this will be of any interest to anyone but I intend to use it with my Linuxmce install and thought I would tell you all about it.
I have built my own IP Camera type system using a Seagate Dockstar and a Logitech C910.  This is a really cheap alternative to buying an IP Camera with Hi-ish Res.
the C91 is capable of doing 30fps @ 1280x960 (well so my initially testing shows) I plan to add 2 cameras onto 1 dockstar, then configure up each camera individually at the core.

The Dockstar is running openwrt and using uvc and usb video modules with mjpg-streamer.  In order to view the image you goto http://ip address:port/?action=stream (or snapshot).

I think these will be a great addition to LinuxMCE, I plan to write a guide on how I did it soon.

Thoughts?

Cheers

Just wanted to get Hari's attention, I don't want to start poking around if you already have plans to implement this.

Hey Hari,

Is it something you are planning on adding at a later stage?
If not I may take a look into it.

Sure did, still no joy.
Also FWIW I only paired it once but it added 3 nodes for the 1 device. Which I can't remove at all.
I am hoping there is a way to remove dead nodes without reseting and starting again.  It was a bitch to get the minimote paired as an inclusion controller with the Stick.

Hey All,

I have a faulty z-wave module that I wish to remove from my network however un-pairing doesn't work. Is there a way to permanently remove the dead z-wave module without resetting the stick and starting again.

I know this is an old thread, but I just started playing with DataLogger and the graphs were not working so I had to do the following;

sudo pear install Image_Color

Hey hari have you managed to set your mini mote up as secondary/inclusion remote with the aeon labs USB stick 2? If so how did you do it I have been trying to do it using the wiki entry for the tricklestar.

I was playing with one of these in Australia, and I could not get it to pair with the Aeon-labs USB stick. Where as the Aeon-Labs remote pairs fine!
So I have since returned it...

Users / mkv no worky after upgrades

Has anyone else had some media files cease working after the upgrade?
I will do some debugging as to why but after about 2 seconds of playing most HD videos I have seem to just crash now.

I was looking at something similar by Mobotix
http://www.mobotix.com/eng_AU/content/view/full/66936
However it is fairly pricey so I have been keen to find a cheaper alternative.

I would also like to know if anyone has played with these.
