What is the Brand/Model of your camera?
For IP cameras, iCamSource needs the MJPEG URL for your camera, not just the IP address. The MJPEG URL is different for each camera Brand/Model. If the MJPEG or JPEG URL for your camera 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

Forgive me if I sound stupid but do I need a webcam for my computer for this to work?
I thought you just used your cam (Ipod Touch, 4th gen, 32 gb)
Thx

The iCam app is used to view webcam(s) that are connected to the computer running iCamSource. The iCamSource program supports Built-In, USB, and MJPEG network cameras. Unfortunately, the operating systems don't recognize the iPod as a webcam when you connect it, so it can't be used as a video source for iCamSource.
