Hi Michael, Thanks for answering my post.
The biggest constraint of the project is size. If it is impossible to stream 2 cameras with one board then I will see if there's any way I use 2 boards or have to look into another board like the Gumstix that have more cpu power. I actually have a Gumstix but it was an older generation without usb support but I added a CF usb host card. I had some problem developing with it when someone suggested the Fox board. So I guess the Fox board is hanging when I run 2 instances of servfox is because it over load the cpu or memory? I can try lowering resolution even less than 320x240 but is there a way that I can lower the frame rate?
