To quote one of the "Myth Busters" "There's your problem right there"
The CMU Cam can not drive both the TTL and RS232 connections at the same time. So, when the controller never receives tracking data from the camera, it just keeps searching. Try disconnecting the RS232 to the second laptop. You should start seeing better performance.
