iCam Pro Support / Possible bug in 2.8: Motion Detection Zones
« on: September 15, 2015, 11:35:05 AM »
ICAM Version 2.8 (not Pro). I tried them all:

1) Deleted registry tree of HCU\SOFTWARE\SKJM, LLC in regedit32.exe.
2) Tested in both Win 7 64 bit & Win 10 64 bit.
3) Created just one camera with URL of: http://192.168.1.28/video/mjpg.cgi with account infos.
4) Created 3x3 grid size (also 2x2). And disabled them all zones.
5) I always get alerted of passing cars in top view of camera.

The Motion Detection Zones are not working. It is always detected regardless of zone settings. Maybe it has to do with the stretched videos fix recently? (In the past, with small videos, we get black bars on bottom and right side of video boxes).

Very annoyed of passing cars alerting me too much. >:(

iCam Pro Support / Apple Watch Improvements
« on: May 04, 2015, 08:11:56 AM »
Hi,

It looks great! A big improvement for me to monitor home!

Can we ask for one change?

When playing video, it stays wake up at least to two full loops of video playing?

I had to twist my arm often while playing the video otherwise, the watch will sleep. This applies to app and glance. Both will sleep while video is played.

I noticed some other app will stay wake while in it. Maybe there is API from Apple Developer to make this possible?

Possible?

Thanks!

iCam Pro Support / Reduce 30 secs non moving ending videos?
« on: December 16, 2014, 04:16:27 PM »
Is there a way to let me set how many secs of video that is not moving after moving is detected? It seems to default 30 secs which is way too long.

Regedit maybe?

iCam Pro Support / RESOLVED: iCam Pro on Windows crashs
« on: August 28, 2014, 05:34:25 AM »
PROBLEM: When I start iCamPro on Windows 7, it starts then disappears in few seconds.

WORKAROUND: Rename the iCamSourceProUpdater.exe to something else and run the iCamSourcePro.exe.

BUG: When there is no update list file found (http://skjm.com/icampro/WinUpdates.txt), it crashes the updater program and then the main program. I got the URL from the INI file.

I think I will leave updater off for now (renaming the file) to increase reliability.   >:(

iCam Pro Support / RESOLVED: How to have web access on Pro
« on: July 28, 2014, 05:53:37 AM »
As you know from previous topic that there is no web support for Pro version. I found a workaround to have Pro running and have web access at work:

1) Install iCamSource on PC/Mac (not the Pro one but latest 1.x version). Leave the Pro running on computer. There will be icamsource.exe and icamsourcepro.exe on PC running at sametime.

2) In the 1.x version server, turn off motion detection and remove all schedules. They are not needed. The Pro takes care of this for Pro clients. This is just a program to tell the web server of current ports and IP address of streams.

3) Go to http://skjm.com/icam/web/ and log in. Enjoy.

This procedure does not require to have 1.x client on your mobile devices. Just the Pro ones.

The downside is that the CPU will be as twice as stressed. Not an issue of small number of cameras on a powerful CPU.

SKJM developer: Can the revised Pro server "tell" your web server of current streams available. No need to modify web server. Should be easy! If you want web 2.0 later, then update if you like but for now, just have the Pro server tell the web 1.0 server of the streams. Thats all is needed for now. Otherwise, we have to run both 1.x and 2.x servers.  :P

Thanks!

Hi,

I loved the PRO version for iPhone and iPad. It works great.

BUT... I have been using http://skjm.com/icam/web for monitoring my home at work since there is no app for OS X or Windows. Its not supported for Pro users.

Looks like I have to go back to old iCam version so I can have web access. If I log in this page, I get 0 cameras instead of 4 under Pro server now.

Unless there is a new web page for iCam Pro users that is not announced yet?

iCam Support / iOS8 iCamSource app hangs at login
« on: June 03, 2014, 12:06:46 PM »
Hi,

I am an official beta tester of iOS 8 and did the clean install. There is a prompt "LOGIN REQUIRED" asking me to login and I click OK, but got circular waiting icon without seeing to type username and password. Killed app and tried again. Even reinstall did not help.

Is there work around?

Maybe time for you to get beta copy of iOS 8 and work with it? If you do not plan to do this, I guess I have to go back to 7.x IOS just because of this app issue. I need home security. Sigh. :-X

iCam Support / iCam via web down? Was fine for a long time
« on: January 06, 2014, 07:42:40 AM »
Looks like iCamSource server for web page is down at:

http://skjm.com/icam/web/

I kept getting UDP timeout errors on 3 different networks. But my native client on iPhone works fine.

Yes I have Java updated and allowed it.

It says CONNECTING... for about 15 seconds then error comes up saying:

Broker Connection Error

Your network may be preventing you from making
a UDP connection to the iCam Broker Server.

My home router is forwarding 12100 - 12150 UDP to iCamSource on PC. Never had problems until now.

Please test iCamWeb using your account on your computer outside of iCamSource network.

Remember my iPhone client works fine. Only the web part isn't working now.

iCam Support / Motion Detection Zones & mismatched video size
« on: March 18, 2013, 01:17:22 PM »
Hi,

Thanks for the recent release of iOS and Windows iCam. Looks good.

I continue to experience missed or got false events of "X" boxes in Motion Detection Zones. I use Windows on server and noticed that the video screen is not in full size in whole box. Usually 3/4 of box. So, the bug may be exists for this reason for not lining up ignore areas.

Can you make the video to be full sized in the box so the individual boxes can be properly monitored or ignored?

iCam Support / Saw high speed frames in one scenario
« on: December 13, 2012, 10:17:59 AM »
I have been using your software for few years. Loved it.

One discovery: On iOS device, if showing all videos (4 cameras in my case) on one screen, the frames per seconds jump up to video like which is about 10 to 15 pictures per second. It helps a lot for seeing people walking around etc.

If zoomed to one video, it goes to 1 frames per second.

Why different?

Is there an option to use high frames per second just like I mentioned? I think there is trade off between full resolution in one camera full screen vs. lower resolution/high FPS?

Bottom line: We would like to see live video with high FPS in single camera view. Its possible already.

iCam Support / iOS 6 icam bugs
« on: June 17, 2012, 12:23:26 PM »
Hi,

I have iOS 6 beta on both iPad and Iphone. Two bugs were found and quite annoying. 

1) it asks for rating everytime I use the app. I tried all 3 buttons and it still asks next time.

2) it will not delete photos even with DELETE ALL button. After clicking it, the list of events are still there.  I had to borrow my wife's Iphone 5.1.1 and delete them.

Any plans to fix them? If not, you are forcing me to go back to 5.1.1 just for the icam bugs. :(
