Hello, I have a LabTec Pro with foxboard running for a long period without this major problems.
LabTec Pro is auto exposure webcam, so it should not be a problem to run in a dark room (in fact it works well with low light condition) I dont have a LUX meter, and i have not tested it with extreme light condition, but as far as i went with low light condition (totally dark) it works fine. Note that foxserve and its parent spca server (X86 and the 64Bits) run into a racing condition after 5 min if you have 2 clients conected to the server and the server stops sending images to the clients, but that seems not the case. It is solved by using mutex instead of while() and increasing number of grab frames. JWebcamPlayer is another problem, it cant keep a conection for a long time, no matter if it is from foxserve or spca server, in fact the connection is not broken, it is just that the server can not read from JWebcamPlayer at some moment and foxserve stops sending new images to JWebcamPlayer wainting from JWebcamPlayer to ask another frame. A Java programmer or the auhor could help solve this, my java skills are 0.1%. so my best advice is: USE KERNEL 2.4!!!!! Hope this helps.
