Network / IP Camera Compatibility / Re: Would our iBaby wireless cam we purchased from Apple work with iCam Source?
« on: May 15, 2013, 02:23:59 PM »
Ok, was able to configure within my own home network. Am able to view my MacBook Air's webcam & the iBaby monitor in iCam app on my iPhone 4S, but when I try externally via 3G connection I can view the iBaby monitor but not my MacBook Air webcam. I tried with & without autoconfig, and I enabled "Port Filtering" in "Gaming & Applications" (Ports 12000 to 12100) on my Cisco DPC3825 cable modem/wireless router, with no success. I will try running iCam Source on my Zotac ID12 Plus Mini-PC and see if I can view the iBaby Monitor externally cuz that's going to be the PC running iCam while I'm away 
We haven't tested with that particular camera, but if it outputs MJPEG formatted data, it'll probably work with iCamSource.
When you run iCamSource, you'll need to select the "Ethernet /Wi-Fi" tab because the camera is a network camera, not a USB camera. Then, enter the MJPEG or JPEG URL for your camera.
If the MJPEG or JPEG URL isn't something that can be found by searching around with Google or by contacting their support, we actually have another solution available, although it is currently in its very preliminary stages, and that is: http://skjm.com/icam/mjpeg_test.php
When you enter the camera's IP address and port into that web page, it will attempt to connect to the camera using all of the common MJPEG and JPEG URLs that we are aware of. If any of the URLs produce an image, then that is the URL to use in iCamSource.
If your camera requires a login and password, you can enter them in that webpage right before the address : login:password@Camera_address
