Dude,

ONE post for a problem...it's common etiquette on all forums. You commented on SEVEN previous posts, asking the same question. Wow!

Anyway, to hopefully answer your question (I think there was only one), your 2 IP cameras do not have the same IP address (URL) on the same network...that would create an IP address conflict, which would cause neither to work (I'd assume). Your url has 2 parts: the camera's IP address (bolded in following example), followed by a slash and file information, such as http://192.168.1.100/video.cgi. The URLs will be the same (since you're using 2 identical cameras), with the exception of the IP address at the beginning.

If you discover that the 2 cameras do, in fact, have the same IP addresses, then you need to change the IP address of one of the cameras so you can access both of them. Below are examples of 2 URLs for 2 identical foscam cameras:

http://192.168.1.100/video.cgi
http://192.168.1.101/video.cgi

Thank you for making that point, OUAnthony ... Posting the same thing over and over again just makes the discussion forums a big ole' mess.

I also responded to one of the posts here: http://skjm.com/forum/index.php?topic=4107.msg14387#msg14387

I am not sure if davefewox is expecting the cameras to need different external IP:port combinations to connect to them directly from outside of his local network. That would be necessary for the Foscam app (forwarding two separate TCP ports, one to each camera), but it is not necessary for iCam and the iCamSource.

apologies. don't know much about forums. all the posts were so old I fired a shotgun hoping someone was still subscribed. I'm betting the internal ips are my answer, and thanks for saving me $5.99 and more confusion with the foscam app.
