Why Alley is your web cam so slow? I can't even enjoy it. Also please can you upgrade to a more expensive cam or is it not up to you. Who should I complain to about the speed of web cam? Please try to make the web cam flow smooth like on tv Ok.
Peace  |

uh, did you ever think about refresh rates and connection speeds?
In order for a webcam to run in a manner similar to TV, you have to take into account the cam computer's performance and connection, as well as viewer computer's performance and connection types. If both computers had a dial-up connection, then obviously the webcam would be extremely slow.
If however, you had a broadband connection on a superfast computer capable of 1,000GHz (or 1 TeraHertz), and the cam computer had equally high-performance stats, connected via a fiber optic channel, then the webcam should (in theory anyway) be waaaaaay faster.
Other factors include the age of the webcam's drivers and the hardware itself, how much hard-disk space both computers have, and how many applications are running during the webcam session. Other factors, however minor or major, can contribute to the choppy webcam footage.
I haven't yet viewed a webcam session, so when's the next one? |

My computer is kind of old. Your response was informal, but when you try gthang to go in Alley chat seesion please tell me if your computer in a Alley chat session makes or sees any difference with the webcam with your computer or is it there site? |

The refresh rates are set to I think 15/30 seconds for the webcam pics, so there not going to look smooth like tv. I agree she does need a new webcam, or just better lighting. Alley's more into chatting than the actual webcam part anyways. We'll see...
