I just suppose all the cams will work if one works but it's when 
supposing you only have one CAM and couldn't test with others ... the 
idea is to know there are things to do to make different CAMS work ... I 
just hope it's not the case but life isn't a fairy tale, now I get it ...

I'm not sure I'll be of a great help since I'm not an expert but a 
beginner ... but I have to make this twinhan card work so I'll do my 
best to help ... keeping in mind that for me, the priority is to see the 
card working, not earning 3 seconds at startup (even if it has to 
change, though)
