Ok,

you have a script for your task.
- Do you want general comments?
One of me:
NUM_LINES1=`ls -tr $CAM1 | grep 20 | wc -w`
Change to
NUM_LINES1=$(ls -tr $CAM1/*20* 2>/dev/null | wc -w)
or
NUM_LINES1=$(ls -tr $CAM1 | fgrep -c 20)
or ...

- Does it not work generally?
- Does it not work under certain conditions?

Over and over in your script you are doing that ls -tr, grep and wc. You can make this much easier by using select. In my case:
select file in $( ls -tr | grep 303 ) ; do
echo $file
break
done

Here is what I get, I then enter that "5".
1) 303471.log
2) 303595.i
3) 303595.incl
4) 303595.i.incl
5) 303750.i
6) 303879.txt
#? 5
303750.i
