iCam Support / iCam on M1 MacMini - HELP

« Last post by vanboemmel on November 08, 2021, 12:17:01 AM »

Dear forum, good day!

we have been using iCam for many years. Many, many years!
Often it used to run on a MacMini and always without problems.

Now we moved the first time to a new MacMini with M1 Apple silicon and I have the first time problems.
Only I'm not sure if it's really the M1 or I just made a mistake.

I can connect through the app on my iPhone 12Pro, but I only see 1-2 cameras of my 6 cameras that are running through iCam.
These also show up for me in iCamSource 2.9 and run fine there as always.

I've already tried all possibilities, including configuring my MacMini to be "Exposed Host", so no firewall in front of it at all.

What can I do about it? Does anyone of you know a solution?
We have been part of the iCam family for so long and want to stay that way. 

Many greetings from Germany, Christoph

ipCam Support / Re: Flash time limit

Thanks for you reply.

It's intermittent. Sometime it never turns off and the flash stays on, but that's very rare. Mostly it happen within a minute or two. Tried three different iphones (5, 6S and 6S pluS) and same thing is happening over and over again.

We have not been able to reproduce this issue. It may be an issue with your phone specifically? Or perhaps it is getting hot from constantly running and the system is turning it off?

ipCam Support / Re: Flash time limit

« Last post by Stout on October 08, 2021, 11:37:11 AM »

I've now observed that the flash is turning off intermittent. Sometimes after 5-10 seconds and sometimes after a minute. Then I have to  disable/enable the flash again via the webpage.

Any solution on this matter?

ipCam Support / Focus and frame rate

« Last post by Stout on October 06, 2021, 07:00:13 AM »

Is there any possibility to raise the frame rate in ipCam for iphone? As I understand, maximum is 15fps, but I would like to get higher because of stuttering video. 30fps would be great to have for a smooth view.

Also, is there a way to turn off auto focus? The reason for asking is that I'm using an iPhone to check my 3D printer and it's mounted on the printer to be able to view the correct angle of the nozzle. When the printer head is moving around the iPhone tries to focus all the time which makes it more blurry than sharp picture as it's sometime rapid moves.

In the iPhone photo settings it's possible to turn it off by pressing the focus point and hold it for a few seconds, but not in ipCam as far as I know?

ipCam Support / Flash time limit

« Last post by Stout on October 06, 2021, 06:53:31 AM »

Is there a way to extend the time the Flash on the iPhone is turned on? As it is now it seems to limit to 30-60 seconds and then turn off. Then I have to click on "turn off" on the webpage to able to "turn on" again.

I have the iPhone connected to an iMac therefore the battery is no problem for me and I would be able to turn on and shut off the Flash manually or be able to set a time limit by myself.

iSpy Support / PTZ recommendations - small, value for money

« Last post by vakogtx on September 26, 2021, 10:12:59 AM »

Hi all,
Recently got an Imou Ranger 2c as it's supposed to at least stream to iSpy, but alas despite trying every suggestion I could find in here and various other articles/forums it just wouldn't work. I'm guessing they've changed something in the latest firmware. Imou support wasn't helpful. Even their Windows app doesn't work (at least for me).

So I'm looking for recommendations for PTZ cameras that are supported in iSpy.
The main criteria are:
Fully supported in iSpy, inc PTZ functions
Similar size to Ranger 2c (~5" high, 3" diameter)
Reasonably priced (<$100)
They don't have to be weather proof
1080 is preferred
WiFi
Wall/ceiling mountable

Thanks in advance.

iSpy Support / iSpy Does Not Work on Android (Galaxy S7, Android 8.0.0)

« Last post by odysseyofnoises on September 01, 2021, 09:26:40 PM »

Hello,

I downloaded iSpy from the Amazon App Store, but the app does not appear to work anymore. It looks like it attempts to load the list of webcams, but it stays stuck on the spinning wheel forever and does not advance.

I have the iPhone connected to an iMac therefore the battery is no problem for me and I would be able to turn on and shut off the Flash manually or be able to set a time limit by myself, lets say 2 minutes or whatever.
