Network / IP Camera Compatibility / Re: Questions about IP cam and laptops

jay,

and once i get it running on my mac, i'll be able to access it via icam/iphone?  or only via web browser from a remote computer?

also, final question...    are there any limitations of icam that i need to be wary of when choosing to purchase an IP cam, with regards to compatability?

Thanks again.

This may be redundant, but your telling me that to use these cams on a mac, just disregard the windows setup software, use the web browser to setup/configure the cam, then launch icam source on the mac, and I'll be able to view the feed via icam on my iPhone? Thanks again...

Jay,
Thanks for the informative response! I did a little forum research and under "best ip cams to use with mac" found that you guys have owned and tested these 3 night vision IP cams:

AirLink101 SkyIPCam500 - http://www.airlink101.com/products/aicn500.php
AirLink101 SkyIPCam500W - http://www.airlink101.com/products/aicn500w.php
AirLink101 SkyIPCam747W - http://www.airlink101.com/products/aicn747w.php

When I go to their site, they don't say it's compatible with Mac OS. But you guys have them running on Macs? Is it difficult to set up?  And if they are compatible with a Mac, then i can also upload Icam source on my PC and run them through the PC as well (when i don't want to run the macbook all day)?

It blows my mind, that simply entering username and password, i can access the same feed remotely. you guys rock!

Network / IP Camera Compatibility / Questions about IP cam and laptops

i have a macbook pro and i'm thinking about purchasing an IP cam.

For the wifi/IP cam to be viewed by icam, does it need to be "linked" to my macbook and thus, my macbook needs to be powered on?  or can i just run and view the IP cam independently from my laptop?

also, if one of my viewed cams is the built-in camera in the macbook, can i simultaneously view another feed from my IP cam (if that IP cam is "linked" to the macbook also).   

ideally, i'd like to view the feed from my wireless IP cam without having to have my macbook turned on, or a computer for that matter.

presently i view my built in macbook webcam via wifi, around my house.  if i were to go to work, does it still connect to the same feed via 3g, simply just from entering username and password?

finally, i thought i read that icam can get only video and no sound from IP cams. is that correct?

TIA for any input/answers!
