iCam Support / Having a number of connection issues with iCam

« on: June 29, 2012, 11:29:41 AM »

I'm having a number of issues that leave me very dissatisfied with the iCam system.  What I have now is a Mac Mini at my house with a USB web cam from Logitech which is working fine.  The iCamSource app on the Mac is configured to use UPnP port config which appears to be working properly.  I can connect to my web cam at home via the iCam app on my iPhone if I am connected to any non-firewalled WiFi, not just at my house, however when the phone is using 3G Internet access most of the time (19 out of 20 times) I get a "Source Connection Error".  Also, I am unable to connect to my web cam if I am on my work network which does block a number of types of network traffic (this applies to either the iCam phone app or the beta java/webbrowser based app).  There are HTTP proxies available however and given I can use these proxies to ssh to my home system from work and other network apps like Dropbox and Skype are functional with these proxies I expect that the iCam system should be as well. SKJM needs to fix these issues before I would recommend this system to anyone at this point.
