Just to be sure, how many actual USB controllers do you have? The general rule of thumb is two PS3 Eye cameras per USB controller--using a usb hub doesn't change the fact that you may only have two usb controllers, in which the 'safe' limit is still four cameras. With version 2.0, the data stream has been significantly optimized which may explain why you can capture from 5 cameras but that may be pushing the limit if you don't have enough controllers. If you add another USB controller card, six cameras may be fine. However, this may also depend on the speed/bandwidth of your computer and capture drive. FYI, on my computer I can do six but I'm using two USB 3.0 controller cards in addition to the two onboard USB 2.0 controllers, plus an SSD for data capture. iPi recommends a six core system but with this additional hardware I'm able to do this with a quad core system. If the above info doesn't apply in your situation, try switching the cameras. Is it always the same camera that doesn't work? If so, perhaps the camera is faulty. Hope this helps. G. |

How it looks in Device Manager? Just to be sure: check each camera that it is not defective, connecting it one at a time. adamgamer wrote: Is it caused by the PCI USB Hub? any suggested USB Hub? The PCIe cards you mentioned are indeed controllers, not hubs. They should be OK. Have you tried all possible USB port combinations? 15m cable may also be the issue. Are all cameras connected with such lengthy cables, or just few of them? If latter, is "not working" cam always one of these lengthy? |

Quote: what is "not working"? 6 Camera connected to PC, but only 4-5 camera detected on ipi soft. sometime 6, but the one connected to PCI USB controller will disapper after one minute. Quote: Have you tried all possible USB port combinations? Generally Camera connect to motherboard USB is OK, only those connect to PCI USB controller have problem. |

I've tested PS Eye connected to all USB controllers available to me. Here are the results:
So it seems that there is some compatibility issue with PS Eye and VIA VL800 USB3 chip. Try to get PCIe USB card on NEC chip. |
