iCam Support / Donation and server explanation please.

« on: October 28, 2011, 12:39:52 PM »

So I was reading reviews on app store, and some people raised the question about how they are displeased with donations, I don't mind them if it keeps better stuff coming from devs. But I was confused about server stuff can unexplain how icam works.  Am I to understand somehow my video stream is going to your server and then sent to my phone? If you ever get bought out, go out of business or have a total hardware failure. Does that mean my icam will be worthless? I'm confused and am not super computer savvy.  I'd like to understand how this works.  I wouldn't mind donating to keep development coming but am nervous I rely on a system that has a middle man, and that middle man could crash and leave me stranded. 

Thanks

iCam Support / New update broke my security camera

« on: October 27, 2011, 01:33:09 PM »

So I used icam source on my pc and Mac for years. The pc version was buggy and could not rely on it, the Mac version never had any issues. I dumped my pc and use my Mac for security camera.  I was hesitant to update today, but decided to do it.  The new icam source and icam app have new buttons, none of which are explained and it works as long as I don't mess with anything.  I run icam source, I open app and see myself and son moving no poblem as soon as I hit a button to turn on notifications whether it be global or single camera, the icam source still shows us moving but my icam app freezes and I get an error no icam sources found.  I close down icam app reopen it and same thing,  icam source is still running, still showing movement but the app can no longer communicate or show sources.  Something about that switch screw up the discovery of my icam source.  Even though nothing else has changed.

I close down icam source, re open it and the app works. As soon as i try and change notifications freezes up again.  I use my iPhone all the time to check on my house when we're away. I've been able to use icam without any issues on my iPhone and Mac for years without issues.  I don't like new update.  I can no longer rely on it. I want old icam source and old iPhone app back.   How do I do that, or when will this be fixed.  I almost donated to you and thank goodness I didn't.  You broke my security.

Help.
