just cam issue and how to make it work better

[courtesanannabel]

Hi

I have been on aw for three years and since feb on webcam everyday - I use a microsoft hd webcam with incorprated microphone, i believe i have all the settings correct on just cam however on a regular daily basis just cam drops out and messages like - cannot connect to server etc - also told several times by viewers that occassionally cam freezes, audio crackly
I really want to have the best use of just cam as webcam 80% of the time on aw site

would it be worth purchasing the one suggest on just cam help - logic hd pro webcam c910 ?

Please advise

regards

anna

hi anna

i don't understand much about cameras all i know is that i use a logitech and works fine , my personal opinion is when you get that message " - cannot connect to server" i believe that is a internet connection issue, i use to get that all the time before i had fibre optic, also cam freeze can be related to internet connection too.

Hi, most likely your internet isnt strong enough as mentioned above.

As your self employed and this is your business its a good idea to call your internet provider and ask what the fastest broadband they have available is and get it. The better your internet the more earnings you'll get. Upload speed is key.

Also goes for webcams, dont get a £50-£100 one, you'll need to spend money to make money.

Invest in your online business

Whilst I have fibre broadband & a kick ass computer I use an old reliable logitech which these days probably doesn't even cost £50 so I wouldn't let anyone who has never been a cammer tell you what to do!

I too am a prolific cammer and the HD Pro will be absolutely magnificent for you.

Run a speedtest on speedtest.net & shop around for a faster BroadBand provider and consider updating your hardware then you will be truly unstoppable!

Good luck

This actually may not be your fault as it's been happening to alot of us the last week or so. I am getting girls every day coming into my freeview box asking if I am also experiencing this which I am. I tried to tel AW about it but got the usual blank response.

I am not having trouble camming anywhere else either

I dont see anyone here who hasnt cammed telling the person what to do? It also shouldnt matter, its just common sense. None of us run a major cam site but we all tell Adultwork how to do it.

In general the better your webcam the more clients you get and the more that will stick around.

I would advise to upgrade quality in service in anyway possible, dont just stick with the "old faithful".


There is 3 main places the problem could lay, on Adultworks side, your side and everything in between. It could be impossible to tell but best thing you can do is make sure everything on your end is up to scratch.

A rather absolutist view which is of course grossly inaccurate. Maybe SOME do; the fact is WE ALL actually do not.

There is only so good a cam your clients will hang around for. My favourite is now one of the cheapest ones around yet it does not get in the way of raking in hundreds per day

I would advise to upgrade quality in service in anyway possible, dont just stick with the "old faithful".

I would advise someone to follow the actions of someone who actually knows where the priorities lie. Her webcam is more than sufficient.

The disconnection issue is something many of us are getting lately with justcamit...think it started a week ago for me but camming Friday was ok.

I agree dont go out and buy the most expensive cam possible

1) if its too powerful for you internet connection you will actually lose service

2) When I chose my Logictech cam and compared the range the only difference between mine and the more expensive models was the quality in megapixels when using your cam to take still photos (which I dont do0. The webcamming qualities did not change.

I got mine cheaper on ebay and paid around £36. I still had to turn off the "right light" setting as it was strangling my cams performance.

I am looking forward to moving in June when I will have fibre optic broadband... ooh exciting lol

There is def problems at the moment, who's to blame doesn't matter but there is too many of us experiencing the same thing for it to be individual problems

Justcamit is still randomly disconnecting...

I've discovered that my new Logitech c920 needs my bandwith setting above the suggested 250kbps...I have upload to play with so am now using at 1mbps and it's finally a good picture with no fuzziness or lagging.
