iCam Support / USB Camera hangs

« on: December 15, 2010, 07:36:41 PM »

Hi

I'm running iCamSource 2.1.6 with both a wi-fi cam and a USB cam on a PC. The wi-fi cam seems very stable however the USB hangs at least daily. As soon as I open iCamSource preferences and click on the USB cam, the camera generally unfreezes however at times I have to exit iCamSource and reload. The PC has a screen saver and is always powered. Any suggestions please?

Regards

iCam Support / Restart iCam after power failure

« on: October 25, 2009, 04:55:42 PM »

I have changed the settings on my PC so that it now automatically restarts after a power failure. Do you have a set of instructions to make iCamsource restart automatically as well? I have 2 instances of iCamsource running on the PC; a USB camera and an IP wireless camera.

Thank you

iCam Support / Active movie window

« on: October 04, 2009, 06:54:10 PM »

I have iCamsource always running on my computer, with the icon minimised in the tool bar. Whenever I activate the computer from screen saver mode, there is an image on the screen of what the camera is capturing with an Active Movie Window tab in the tool bar. I have to open iCamsource preferences and then minimise it again to close the Active Movie Window. Is this normal?

iCam Support / ISP problem (I think)

« on: September 10, 2009, 10:24:00 PM »

I emailed regarding a problem which I encountered with one of my iCamSources and thought I'd raise this again in the forum in case someone else has the same problem. I have a USB camera set up at my office and all was working perfectly until one day when I could only access the iCamSource on a WiFi network, not 3G. I wasn't aware of any changes to my office network but it transpired that we had changed ISP. We now have 2 ISPs each through their own Cisco Systems enterprise type routers which I have been advised are configured in exactly the same way. On one router, I am able to access the iCamSource on WiFi and 3G yet on the other, I can only access through WiFi. I understand that fiddling around with these routers is difficult and the GUI is very unfriendly. Is there a work around that I could explore?

iCam Support / Source Connection Error

« on: August 07, 2009, 07:11:09 AM »

iCam runs for up to a few hours at a time and then I receive the source connection error. I am using v1.3.2 with port forwarding. To get iCam running again, I stop the iCam source and start it again but if I am away and can't access the computer, this makes reconnecting impossible. Is there anything I can do to stabilise the connection?

How do you get the date and time to show up on the iCam on the iPhone?
