Pan and Tilt works on the Trendnet TV-IP422W! Wow! Thanks!
One tip to pass along. Make sure you that in iCamSource you are using your admin username and password. In my experience with the IP422, you have to have admin privileges to do pan and tilt. Of course, made a contribution, too. Great work!
is what I use for all three of them and it does work. However, I have noticed that the IP312W seems slower at getting video to come up vs. the IP422W's.
Yes, iCam works with both webcams built-in to laptop and stand-alone webcams that connect to a network either wireless or wired. I have an old MacBook running iCamsource and have 1 wired and 3 wireless network webcams. From my iPhone and iPad I can see the 4 webcams and Macbook's built-in cam.
The key thing to understand iCam is that you need to have a computer ( windows or mac) constantly running the companion, free iCamsource program. Check the skjm.com website for the details.
I have the Trendnet TV-IP110W. It does not have a microphone, so does not support audio.
I do have the Trendnet TV-IP312W and TV-IP422W and they both support audio with iCam. I really like the IP422W. It has been reliable and the audio works well.
Just found an iOS app called "Mini Webcam" that lets you use your iPhone's camera as a webcam and it works with iCam/iCamsource. Not a high resolution image, no audio, and it seems to only work in landscape orientation.
This is a belated reply, but for iOS - when it was available, VLC could do RTSP streams. I was able to get video and sound from my ip netcams. Unfortunately, it is no longer available on the iTunes store.
I did find another app that handles RTSP in iOS, OPlayer. There is a Lite version that is free with ads and a paid version. I found the user interface difficult to understand, but it did handle the RTSP streams from my trendnet IP422W and LTS LTCIP830MV.
You may also want to check the iTunes store to see if your netcam's manufacturer has an app. Trendnet recently created an app for their netcams that does video with audio.
Of course, I am looking forward to when iCam has more support for audio.
I had iCamSource connected to 3 webcams running on my iMac i5 QuadCore, so performance was not an issue. I have an old iBook G4 running some home automation software (Indigo). The iBook needs to be on all the time to run Indigo, so I installed iCamSource using only 1 webcam. It didn't work too well especially when I turned on motion detection. I really didn't expect it would.
Anyway, I am thinking of picking up a used dual core intel Mac - like a MacMini or Macbook - to replace the iBook. My question is how well will iCamSource work managing 3 webcams? Will Core 2 Duo vs. older Core Duo matter? I found someone locally selling an older, 1st gen core duo macbook pro and I am wondering if the core duo performance would be adequate.
