More Cameras with Additional Memory?

[classicshotokan]

The available cpu cycles seems to be the limiting factor in determining how many cameras you can run. More cores, more cameras.

I often read about how adding RAM can increase performance for CPU intensive tasks, such as video editing.

Would adding memory help VDV process more cameras without crashing?

Currently on a mac mini with 2 gb RAM. Running only two camera, if I add more I get crashes.

I believe if I recall previous messages your computer is somewhat dedicated to Vitamin D Video? 2gb should be more than enough for just VDV. As a rough approximation VDV uses ~100mb of memory + 100-150 per camera. Is the entire application crashing, or are camera processes restarting, or some other behavior? If it's possible to file a bug report from within the application the logs might provide us with better insight into what is going on.

The crash thread is here

It's an "agent" crash. It stops all actions/notifications.

That's too bad, I was hoping for an easy fix that doesn't involve a new computer.
