You don't have this camera on your drop down list. Is it compatible? It's alot more affordable then the Sky IP cam you suggest.
Thanks!

We haven't tested with that particular model, but if it outputs MJPEG formatted data, it'll probably work with iCam. You can try our free webcam serving software, iCamSource, to see if it works with your camera. You can get iCamSource here: http://skjm.com/icam/support.php
When you run iCamSource, you'll need to select the "Ethernet / Wi-Fi" tab because your 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

I bought this camera, big mistake, did not work, no support!
The software is useless, it stalls you at the first set up request, and after trying to get the camera to connect to the router or computer I gave up and took it back for a refund! DO NOT BUY ONE. >:(

Just curious, did you ever get this camera working?
