iCam Support / Ethernet vs WIFI
« on: January 26, 2014, 11:32:47 AM »
I need to monitor my glass furnace, specifically the digital readout on the control panel, and I need to be connected via android phone/ipad.  The control panel is fixed, and the location can be quite warm, so I need to locate about 10 feet away.  Have power, can get Ethernet to location, but the display is about 1 1/2" by 3" with green backlit information. If I can't read the info, system is useless.  I don't need to record, and movement/audio are not relevant, as the numbers don't change much.  A quick video with my phone reveals a sort of rippling but numbers are readable

How I select a camera for this application? 
Is there a downside to using the Ethernet connection to the camera? Wifi is undependable in this location.
I am NOT a techie, (I just make glass) so the simplest install will be the most useful.  Failing simple clear detailed instructions.
ThankS!!

Network / IP Camera Compatibility / Does iCam support Samsung Smartcam
« on: January 26, 2014, 07:58:07 AM »
I was given a Samsung Smartcam SNH 1011N for Christmas.  It is very difficult to set up on the instructions available.  Their website is down for "routine repairs" according to tech services...

Would iCam be an alternative?
