Hi, thanks for the great software.
I have a strange question. I am about to rebuild a vintage 22ft travel trailer and what I would like to do is to attach two external webcams to the outside of the trailer connected to a mac mini inside the trailer to act as rear vision mirrors and have an iPod touch in the towing vehicle to view the video feed. I would therefore have a wi-fi connection from the computer in the trailer to the ipod in the tow vehicle which wouldn't be able to connect to the internet.
I have no idea if this is possible or how to go about configuring it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, in this particular scenario, iCam won't work because both iCam on the iPhone and iCamSource on the computer require an internet connection in order to work.

They make a small unit (about the size of a pack of cards) that turns your car into a wireless hot spot. There is a monthly fee, of course. I think I read that it runs about $40 a month for unlimted 3G data. Some companies (if they survive) are going to build them into cars, but you can also buy a device on your own. If you are going to be traveling, always a nice feature to be able to send emails and photos and watch YouTube videos while driving down the road with a trailer.
