iCam Support / Multiple cameras

« on: May 11, 2010, 10:09:28 AM »

Hi again

Is there a way to send information from multiple cameras using one computer (without using VirtualBox or something like that!)?

So lets say you have a couple of USB cams and a couple IP cams, can you use one computer to send all the information out?

Thanks

iCam Support / CPU Usage

« on: May 11, 2010, 10:02:49 AM »

Hi,

This is my first post here as I just got your app installed on my iPhone.

First of all, really nice app, well done!

But as always it could be even better. I noticed that my CPU usage for iCamSource, on my MBP, with Preferences closed, is about 12% constantly even when I view or not view the video from my iPhone and irrespective of the sensitivity set on the motion detection.

It would be pretty cool if you could reduce that 12% to something a lot lower, maybe half? With the sensitivity lowered you could reduce the framerate as well as the resolution of the images using in the motion detection (I am sure you already use binary images for the motion detection). Then, when an iPhone is connected and streaming is established, or when a motion event recording initiates, the framerate and resolution would increase. This way you would spend minimum resources (reduce power consumption, heat, reduce carbon footprint! etc.) when nothing is happening or no one is watching.

All the best,
Vasilis
