iCam Pro Help

Overview

iCam Pro is the mobile application for iOS (iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad) devices that allows you to view your computer webcams or network IP cameras over the Internet. iCamSource Pro Mobile is the iOS app that allows you to stream live audio and video from your iOS device's microphone and camera to another mobile device running iCam Pro.

iCamSource Pro Mobile also monitors the video stream to record Events and send Notifications to iCam Pro whenever motion or sound are detected.

Setup

The first step is to download the iCamSource Pro Mobile application to your iOS (iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad) device and the iCam Pro application to another iOS device.

Tap Options > General in the iCamSource Pro Mobile to choose to stream video from your device's back (default) or front (if available) camera.

The next step is to enter an iCam Pro Login and Password combination of your choice into the iCamSource Pro Mobile app and tap the Start button. You do not need to register or create an account, but we do suggest that you choose a combination not too easily guessed.

The final steps are to enter the same iCam Pro Login and Password combination into the iCam Pro Options screen, tap the Done button, and you should connect to the iCamSource Pro Mobile. If not, please refer to the iCam Pro Troubleshooting section.

Encryption

iCam Pro and the iCamSource Pro utilize industry standard 256-bit AES encryption.

Pan-Tilt Support

iCam Pro supports Pan-Tilt control for select webcams and network IP cameras. To control your camera, simply swipe the zoomed-in camera view in the direction (up, down, left, right) you want your camera view to move.

Record Button

iCam Pro allows the user to manually Start / Stop the remote video recording by tapping the red Record button when viewing a zoomed-in camera. The iCamSource Pro can also be configured to automatically Start recording whenever Motion or Sound are detected.

Talk Back Support

iCam Pro now lets the user press-and-hold the white Microphone button when zoomed-in on a camera to talk back to the device running the iCamSource Pro Mobile. Talk Back Support is currently only available on iOS.

Optional Settings

iCam Pro

• iCam Pro will receive live audio from the iCamSource Pro when zoomed-in on a camera if the Audio switch is turned on.
• When only connecting to a single camera, enabling the Auto-Zoom option will cause iCam Pro to automatically zoom-in on that camera when it initially connects.
• Enabling the Auto-Lock Override option will prevent the iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad from turning off the screen and going into Standby mode while iCam Pro is running.
• The Display Cam Info option displays the iCamSource Pro description overlay in the thumbnail view.

iCamSource Pro

• If the High Resolution setting is disabled, the iCamSource Pro will use a lower resolution in the Detection recordings and the real-time video sent to iCam Pro. Doing so will lower iCamSource Pro's bandwidth and storage usage, but it will also lower the overall video quality.
• If you are connecting to more than one camera and would like the thumbnail order to be the same every time you connect, you can specify the sort order by selecting a different Thumbnail Sort Order Index for each camera.
