Recent QC issues

[LabradorNYC]

For the past few days and today not all of my 3 cams have been showing up. Sometimes one or two, never the same ones and never all three. Worked fine last week. Updated all to newest software today. Same. Sometimes get the Source Connection error, sometimes I don't.

Finding the cams after launch of the iPhoto app seems to take longer and longer...

Have done the usual, reboots, etc. Mac with 2 network, 1 usb.

Anything going on in terms of your side?

No idea what to do next. Was a great app. Becoming less so...

Do you see the Source Connection Error when your iPhone is connected to 3G, local Wi-Fi, or both?

Also, what are your computer's specs (CPU speed, RAM, etc.)?  An older Mac might not be able to handle three instances of iCamSource at the same time.  The motion detection processing adds significantly to the CPU usage, so it may be necessary to dial that down if you're using an older Mac.  To do so, simply copy and paste the following line of text to an Applications > Utilities > Terminal window and hit Return:

defaults write com.skjm.icamsource MotionDetectionWait -int 5000

The number at the end is the number of milliseconds that the iCamSource will wait before checking for motion. You have to restart the iCamSource for any change you make to have an affect.
