Viewing Motion Files when No Sources Found
« on: January 06, 2011, 06:07:15 PM »
I was wondering if there is a way on my iPhone to view the motion files after I've stopped the icamsource program on my laptop - I'm using my laptop's (macbook) built-in camera.

This is why it bothers me that I can't do this -- if somebody breaks into my house and smashes my laptop, I'm dead in the water - can't see the motion files, wouldn't know what the heck is going on in my house until I get there.  If I could at least see the  most recent motion files, I'd see what happened just before the laptop gets smashed (that's just an example of why I'd like to have this option).

But, when I run the iPhone app with icamsource not running, I can't get past the No Sources Found message.

Can this be done?

Download/install dropbox (it's free). Change the recording folder in icamsource so that it saves the pictures to your dropbox folder. Then your pictures are also saved off-site in case your computer is stolen or destroyed. I use it and LOVE it.
