I was wondering if it would be possible to somehow implement a microphone only option into iCamSource? This way a user could listen to what is happening when someone is using their computer, and the green camera light would not be active. Also this may already be possible but, maybe the option to hide iCamSource from the Menu bar?
UPDATE : We were able to replicate the "duplicate camera" symptoms, and believe we have fixed it in this latest version: http://skjm.com/icam/iCamSource2.1.2.dmg
When the cameras are duplicated, is it consistently all 5 cameras? Or only one or two (or a few) at a time? It may be that an internal watchdog timer is firing and resetting everything, but the old threads are not being closed down appropriately.
Ive only ever seen it once where it wasnt every camera being duplicated. Every other time it's all the cameras.
Dean - Do the duplicates continue to update the video stream? Or are some stale / old? Also, are you using network IP cameras or USB webcams?
They're live, and even seem to be slowing the framerates down. If I quit and realunch iCamSource it goes back to normal. There's no real pattern I can see as to it acting up. I did not have the problem with the beta if that helps...
I am using two USB and three IP, they all get doubled and if I leave it long enough, trippled.
UPDATE : Thank you to everyone who has applied to the BETA test. If you e-mailed us your UDID information before around 1 PM PST you should be included in the first phase. We are currently getting everything built and put together, so you should receive an e-mail later today detailing the steps necessary to get started.
Thanks again!
Using two USB cameras, and three Cisco WVC80N's
So far all (5) cams are working great over WiFi and 3G,
1st bug noticed is iCam doesn't always judge how many cameras it should display at the main screen properly. For example sometimes I'll get the 5 cameras Im using, and 1 black space filler, and sometimes Ill get the 5, and like 7 black fillers. Other than that, awesomeness.
(also the refresh button is still not Retina resolution )
Almost forgot to try the iPad!
Works over WiFi and 3G, same as iPhone.
iPhone is no longer doing the extra row thing. Both iPhone/iPad are working in both landscape positions, rotating without issue. Push notifications are also working, along with recording (toggling them on the iDevice works fine as well).
Small UI suggestions, maybe filling the whole screen horizontally, and putting small spaces on the sides of the feeds until the outer feeds touch the sides of the bezel. Maybe also allowing to swipe left/right to switch to next or previous camera.
(Im sure its because its ad-hoc, but iTunes doesn't show it as universal.
It was happening on the source app, and on iCam, I tested it at work with the built in iSight and another camera and couldnt get it to do the same thing. When I got home I tested some more, it was still happening. I seem to have fixed the problem by trashing the iCam prefs and starting over... I'll let you know if it happens again :S
Did you fix the problem by trashing the iCam prefs or the iCamSource prefs? If it's the iCamSource prefs that might make sense if it got into a weird state from a previous beta version.

Very strange ... I have been unable to replicate this so far.
Do you know if this is something new to 2.0.3? Or can you recreate the same issue in the previous BETA versions?
Are you changing a setting under the Schedule tab for one camera and then selecting another camera to see the change has carried over to all the other cameras? Do you have the same number of settings for each camera? When you click on the other cameras does the name of the camera in parenthesis change in the "Schedule (<camera description>)" to the appropriate one?
How many cameras do you have configured?

Are you seeing that in the Schedule settings in the iCamSource Preferences window? Or in the actions of the iCamSource itself?
Hmm, did some testing, looks like almost 1/10 times I change something on one camera, it applies changes to all cams... Whether it be deleting settings for a day altogether or just changing the time. Very weird!
