I do not have enough USB bandwidth on my computer to run more than 2 webcams. (for security) Will this use existing bandwidth or increase it?

This card adds USB3 to your computer. It does not change the computer's "band width". It is designed to allow your computer to run USB3 periferals at a much faster rate, but as the other answer stater, webcams are designed around USB2. I don't think you will see any increase in either quality or speed.

I am not completely sure I know what you are asking--i.e., you only have 2 usb ports and you need extra, or you have multiple webcams (you say 2), and you have them attached to a controller function or a USB splitter and coming into a single USB port which cannot handle the workload. Nevertheless, this will not use the existing bandwidth since it will go on the rear buss bandwidth set up for additional cards. Also, just because the card is USB3, it does not mean you webcams will run at that speed unless they were designed for USB3. Most consumer webcams I have seen run at USB2 speed which is usually fast enough to give you good video.

Yes! This will give you what you need. This has it's own controller, which will give you more bandwidth! I'm running 10 cams as a computer based security system if you need any help let me know!

Your Webcam probably requires more current than the Sabrent USB port can provide. It is not defective. You may also find that some external hard drives experience the same problem. Always use the rear USB ports (attached to the mothernoard) for higher current devices. Or purchase a powered USB hub.

Are you asking if there is a specific setting? No, there isnt. However, you can add all the IP cameras to a 'Group', then give that Group certain permissions, policies, and routes. So, if you have the Camera Group, you can allocate that group minimum bandwidth and priorities, limitations, etc. Example would set a policy to always have a minimum of 5mbps available to the Camera Group. Also, you can specify which WAN you want the cameras to always use if you are using more than one WAN. Example of this would be to have your normal household connected devices (PC, laptop, tablets, etc) in a Home Group and use WAN 1, with the Camera Group using WAN2.

I would ask Bitdefender. It could be that you would lose the multi-computer capability if you did down load to a USB drive.

I have used nothing with windows 7 (32bit).A user of Amazon recommends Yawcam software (Yet Another Webcam Software; Organization: Magnus Lundvall) when connection problems occur to PC or Laptop. (visit the website: http://www.yawcam.com).

I currently have 3 up and running. To my knowledge, you should be able to set up more than that but I am unsure of what the limit is, if any. I don't have any issues with signal drop issues with multiple cams set up. I do not think you can set this up to recored to a DVR. Any recordings are saved to your computers hard drive. One limitation to the recording is that your computer must be up and running for the recordings to work.

A USB3.0 connection will allow for dual band connection. Where as a USB2.0 is more limited.

Worked for me using logitech webcam - Please run CPU-z app & reply how much TOTAL RAM YOURS has, & speed of processors. These appear to be falsely advertised specs?

Not quite... This device will allow you to share 4 usb ports between two computers (or DVRs).

I have two that linked just fine. In addition to Melissa F's comment I found that setting the bandwidth to auto helps as I wasn't able to use the maximum bandwidth. Also make sure to save your settings from the top of the left menu. Unit should reboot after. I had problems with it not saving while using certain versions of Firefox.

Think about what you're asking... Takes 2 PCs - 1st PC: Source & 2nd PC Capture. Been there, done that. Hope this helps!

It appears that this is a software issue and not a hardware issue. Without knowing what webcam program you are using it is impossible to determine a solution.

You might need a computer for initial configuration, but once configured there is no reason to have camera this webcam connected to PC. It is wifi ready.

I actually use it for a security type web cam. Had an issue with a neighbor peeping in my windows and trashing my garden. Works perfect as a webcam extension.

If you still have a 3rd USB port you may be able too; however, if you webcam needs a powered USB port, you will not be able too.

It depends on the bandwidth required of your cameras (times 10). USB 2.0 can support up to 480Mbps (theoretical) which is going to be much less with overhead and multiplexing between your 10 cameras, but probably it can handle the bandwidth, but probably not the power. If each requires the full 0.5A allowed, that's 5A of power. You'll probably do better using some smaller powered hubs plugged into another hub which is plugged into the computer. Unless you can find a 10 port hub with 5A of power.

Yes it is, per the manufacturer product use limitations statement:Can not add more same wireless cameras or use multiple CUcam1 units at the same location, per limitations of 900MHz bandwidth. RE: http://www.securitymaninc.com/?page_id=3683
