iCam Support / Re: Receiving push notifications, but cannot view stream - works for hours, stops

« on: March 04, 2011, 07:07:04 PM »

It says the port is blocked.

This is very strange...  I have iCam app on both my phones: my iphone 4 is on 'Orange' network, and when on 3G it can see the camera feed OK, and then sometimes it cannot.

My iPhone 3GS is on O2 network and cannot see the stream at all on 3G.

Both work ok on wifi and the web viewer version on iCam can see my stream from any computer I go onto.

thanks for that!

Is there any way of embedding the image feed to a webpage so it appears as a video if posted into a forum?

iCam Support / Security of iCam web viewer?

« on: March 04, 2011, 10:32:46 AM »

Hi all,

If I give out my iCam password and login to the public so they can view my camera using the desktop web based iCam viewer, is this secure?

What I'm meaning is could my computer be hacked or anything like that or would they just be able to view and nothing else?

Thanks.

Just to add to the above: I'm still getting Push notifications over 3G.
For example I'm sat here at work with a very strong 3G signal and I keep getting Push saying 'motion detected' and the correct time (like now) and then I press to open the app, the 4 blank squares appear and I get the 'loading circle' for ages, then nothing except the source error message.

Also... I logged onto the 'icam web viewer' site on a different computer in a different place completely to my home (my work) and I put in the password and I can see the camera no problem at all! So it really is just on 3G on the app that I'm getting the problem!

I'm having the same problems... It's really frustrating.

Camera side:
Logitech USB cam plugged into a 2010 MacBook Pro.
MacBook running iCam Source for mac.
MacBook connected to Orange Livebox (Inventel Livebox) router via wifi.

Phone side:
1 x iPhone 3GS with iCam
1 x iPhone 4 with iCam

Problems:
After literally hours and hours of fiddling with Internet settings in the mac and in the router, and setting up port forwarding and static IP address etc, I finally get it working last night at about 11pm. Both iPhones can view the camera ok over wifi, then I turn the phone wifi off and yes, both phones can still see the camera over 3G
network (one on 'O2' and one on 'Orange' network).
Push notifications are working.

I change nothing at all.

Then, I wake up this morning and find that when I open the app on the phone, there is no feed and I get the 'Source Connection' error message.

I go to the Mac, everything looks ok, but I click Stop then Start on the iCam Source, and this starts the wifi working again... BUT I now find that I get the Source Connection error message if I try to view the cam via 3G on either phone!

Help! I'm really frustrated, I just want this to work 24/7 without spending hours fiddling with my computer!

Thanks
