I'd like to switch from icam to icam pro, it costs 11 euro, it's a lot but ok. In order to decide to buy it or not I first want to know if the following behavior is normal:
I'm testing it with 1 PC and 1 webcam only, in the multiview of the android mobile app the image looks very smooth/fluent, but as soon as I touch it and it goes to fullscreen, the fps drops to a ridiculous 1 or maybe 0,5.
Like obj I request a button that let me to delete all the motion events images.
edit: Now Talking about another thing, w/o open a new thread: The Motion Detection, I think it is too much sensible, I have the sensitivity bar at very low value. I have a lot of false positive, often did by rays of light.
I recently bought another webcam, the Logitech c310.
When I START button even if I can see the image, iCam says that: "Rebooting your PC or updating drivers may resolve the problem."
and no image on the devices.
I rebooted, and I'm sure I've the last drivers.

This error means that the iCamSource is having problems communicating with your webcam.
First make sure that there are no other applications attempting to use the webcam at the same time as the iCamSource. Make sure that your webcam is plugged directly into your computer, and not into a USB hub. If it is already plugged directly into your computer, try plugging it in to a different USB port.
Next, try rebooting your computer. If you are still having issues, make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your webcam.
If none of those things help, you can try installing these two operating system prerequestites required by the iCamSource:
I have a logitech c525, a very common webcam I think, it support an aspect ratio of 16/9, but in icamsource as well as in some other surveillance software that I tried, the full field of view of the camera cannot be showed, I see the image cutted on the left and right to fit the 4/3 resolution. Can you do something for this?
Excuse me, I have a moment of confusion: when I enable the icam option "record events" it does not "enable the motion detection" in icamsource, right? are they 2 different separate things? So I need to keep motion always enabled before I leave the house, and then I can decide to record events or not by enable the icam option, that's correct?
ps: changing topic, talking about new version, it's working good, I had a couple of crash related to lame.dll again, but it occurs rarely.
Well.. I'm abandoning this app, it is clear as daylight that icamsource and probably also icam, should be rewritten, modified radically. So when you decide to do something about the lag, crashes, low usage of bandwidth, the fps and high consumption of CPU, send me an email. Meanwhile enjoy my money.

i have a problem with icam on the iphone. when i select the main screen with 4 cam the bandwidth sent to the phone via wifi is near to 148kB/s and i see 2 webcams with good fps.
the problem is when i select one of them, i see the image fit the screen but the fps drops drammatically with many freezes.
the bandwidth also drop down from 150kb/s to a poor 30kb/s.
at least via wifi i expect to see fluid images.
what's the problem?
i also noticed just now that via 3G the bandwidth sent is very poor, something like oscillating from 5kb/s to 20kb or less. is normal? i expect to see all my upload bandwidth available used.
