Title: Freezes after 2 seconds
Post by: rhennosy on January 17, 2010, 02:58:57 PM

My USB cam loads video in my iphone for about 2 seconds, then it freezes. I tried moving to a different USB port, but no luck. I am using an imac. Trying to connect through wifi for now.

Thanks,

Rich

oh, yeah, it does work when viewing through a web browser from my laptop, just not to my iphone.

Oooh, this is weird. I left the phone sitting with the icam app open to the frozen image. After about 5 minutes, I got the icam source connection error. I cleared the message to find the camera working. I closed the app and restarted it and it froze after 2 seconds. I left it open and got the source connection error again after 5 mins. It works again. How can I get it to work from the get go instead of waiting 5 minutes? During the 5 minute wait, I can hear the audio cut in and out. When it does work, the audio is on about a 5 second delay. Thanks for the help.

Are you using an older PPC iMac, or one of the newer Intel models?

When you connect via iCam, are you connecting via the same WiFi network, or 3G/EDGE?

What is the % CPU usage for the iCamSource in the Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor when the iCamSource is running before you connect with iCam, and then after you connect with iCam?
