This in itself isn't very interesting, but in case of trouble you know where to look. <p>What's more interesting to know is that each device has its own configuration. If you have 2 (different) webcams, the configuration of each webcam is stored, including all the snapshot settings. Next time you start the program the settings are sought with the device, even if they have a different device node (which can happen in the case of hot-pluggable devices like USB webcams). Only if you have 2 exactly the same devices this logic may fail. <p>The file contains your FTP passwords un-encrypted or un-scrambled, so CamStream writes the file away with mode 0600, so only your user ID may read or write the file. </body> </html>
