I did test your theory to some degree, but not long enough to know for sure. I had both my ipad and iphone running ipcam, and icamsource kept running for that time, but after a couple hours, my iphone shut down due to low battery as I didn't have it plugged in. Just for fun, I might re-add my ipad to icamsource and leave it on ipcam and plugged in to see if icamsource stays up for a longer period of time. In the mean time, I deleted both device sources from icamsource and it has been running fine with just the two Trendnet cameras.
...and therein lies the problem. I want to be able to use the ipcam devices occaisionally, but when not in use, icam will shut down. The only current solution is to delete them from icamsource and then re-add them when I want to use them, but that is burdensome for my purposes. Anyway, thanks for your comments.
Nobody else has access to close icamsource. I deleted the plist file and re-entered camera info. The program worked fine for 24 hours with just my two Trendnet ipcams. When I re-added my iPhone and iPad that have the ipcam app, then icamsource closed after a few hours. Note that the iPhone and iPad were not actually running ipcam at the time. I am now doing an experiment where I have turned on ipcam on both devices and restarted icamsource to see if it perhaps doesn't close itself when ipcam is running on the devices. Otherwise, I will just delete the ipcam devices and stay with the two Trendnet cameras as it is too much of a pain to keep restarting icamsource multiple times per day. I would like to use ipcam on my other devices on an adhoc basis, but perhaps I will be able to someday if/when this is sorted out.
the latest crash log that I have is from May 21. Perhaps I'm experiencing some other shutdown of icamsource??? Not a "crash"? I'm having to restart the app a couple times a day at least.
I have 101 ports open in icamsource and forwarding same in router. My Trendnet cameras are set at 2 fps. I have decreased Trendnet video quality from "highest" to "normal" to see if that helps.
i use two other Trendnet wireless ip cameras. i do not use auto config as my router does not allow. i do have manual port forwarding set up and working ok. it all works. it just won't stay working. icamsource will shut itself down. i can still see the cameras using a web browser.
icamsource will run for minutes or hours but then crashes (and icon disappears). This problem has gotten worse since I added ipcam to an iPhone and iPad. Both are usually off but I will view other cameras. But then icamsource eventually crashes. Any advice? All software is latest version including mac lion.
I am a new user (yesterday) and have the same problem. I'm running Windows 7 and the clean registry does the trick. It locks up on me after a few minutes or a few hours. One variable I am experimenting with is whether I have "record motion events" turned on and how active it is.
