As of Logitech Mevo Multicam version 1.4.3, you can use more than three Mevo cameras. However, because the Mevo Multicam app relies on your mobile device for encoding, we recommend thorough testing if you plan to exceed three cameras. Your device might or might not be capable of handling more than three cameras at once.
Improve Performance on Your Mobile Device
The best practices below may not guarantee enough performance to support more cameras, but they can help optimize your mobile device’s resources.
- Close all other apps on your mobile device. This frees up RAM and processing power for Mevo Multicam.
- Lower your screen’s brightness. Reducing power usage can help keep your device cooler.
- Use external power. Plugging your device in keeps it from running on battery alone, which can lead to less heat buildup.
- Reduce your production resolution. Streaming at a lower resolution requires less processing power.
- Increase latency settings. Higher latency gives your device more time to process data, alleviating some performance strain.
-
Use a wired (Ethernet) connection for your mobile device. A stable, dedicated network connection is essential for running multiple cameras.
- While setting up Mevo cameras via Ethernet can help, prioritize your mobile device’s wired connection first when using Mevo Multicam.
- If performance issues persist, consider reducing the number of cameras or using a newer, more powerful device.
Troubleshooting Steps
If you are unable to add more than three Mevo cameras, you may be using an older version of the Mevo Multicam app. Update the app from your device’s app store to unlock this feature.
Because Mevo Multicam encodes on your mobile device, these warnings suggest your device may not have enough processing power for the current camera count. Try the above best practices to improve performance.
Overheating indicates your mobile device cannot handle the number of cameras you have connected. Consider using fewer cameras or upgrading to a more powerful device. You can also try the performance tips above.
Yes. The single Mevo camera product is identical to the units in the Mevo 3 Pack, so you can use them together in Mevo Multicam. Purchasing a 3 Pack may be more cost-effective than buying three individual units.
Please open a support ticket. Let the agent know which best practices you have tried, the device you are using, and how many cameras you have connected. If you are using more than three cameras, try reducing that number first.
