The axis should work fine using the anonymous setting.
As for the other cam. does it use activeX?

Check the debugger to make sure that you are actually sending what you think you should be sending. Also sending the output to a button caption is a good way to see what the widget is doing.

Personally I have only used the Axis. As mentioned this has always worked 100%. I tried one other brand that I had lying around but it needed activeX so it did not work.

Sorry I couldn't help more.
