iCam Support / Re: iCam with Verizon MiFi 2200

FYI - I had found out yesterday, that you can access the control panel of the device, and that there is a section for Port Forwarding, but the options (see pic 4 in the link below) only allow an IP address for an 'application' - there is no specification of certain ports being forwarded to an IP address, no mention of UDP. If one of these 'applications' could be checked, and forwarded to the IP address of one of the computers with the iSight camera, what about the other computer's iSight? that computer has a different IP address.

iCam Support / iCam with Verizon MiFi 2200

« on: January 05, 2011, 09:32:22 AM »

I am unable to connect from my iphone to iCam on my computer webcam at home unless I am on the same wifi network, that is, I cannot connect on EDGE, 3G, or a different wifi network. I have gone through the troubleshooting, and auto-config does not work, and port forwarding does not seem to work. I say that, because my setup is not typical. For internet I use the Verizon MiFi, not a typical router. For some reason, other apps, such as the now discontinued Peekeez, were able to function just fine on my iPhone, without port forwarding or anything else - it just worked - install app on iPhone, install server application on my Mac, and it worked. Now that Peekeez is discontinued, I was looking for another solution, but if I cannot get this working, it is a waste of time and money. I am optimistic though, and welcome assistance.

Here is my setup:
iMac with iSight
MacBook Pro with iSight
(iCamSource installed on both computers with the same username and password)
iPhone 4
Verizon MiFi 2200 Mobile Hotspot
(Currently DSL and Cable are not available in my rural location)

Just a couple other notes:
When I am on my local network at home with my iPhone, along with the 2 computers (Verizon MiFi) I can connect to the cameras just fine.
I am running the latest software for both iCam on the iPhone and iCamSource on both computers.
The error message that I get is the:
Source Connection Error: One or more of the iCamSources returned by the iCam Broker Server could not be connected to.
I checked, and the UDP port is blocked, but again, I am not working with a typical router.

Thanks for your time and assistance.
