unchecking the hi-res checkbox improves fps a lot. thanks So when it is supposed to be used the hi-res option? and what is the resolution I use with and w/o to enable it?
Yes I was running win7, now I'm switching all the computers on win10, so actually for short time I can test icam on both the OS, 7 and 10. Maybe it isnt the same issue, anyway the post I was referring to is this: http://skjm.com/forum/index.php?topic=1708.msg16167#msg16167
ah yea, indeed.. with icam is now all ok but I had a similar problem months ago and I remember that you fixed it. yes, I'm under wifi, if I've understood well the free version works only via LAN.
I'd like to switch from icam to icam pro, it costs 11 euro, it's a lot but ok. In order to decide to buy it or not I first want to know if the following behavior is normal:
I'm testing it with 1 PC and 1 webcam only, in the multiview of the android mobile app the image looks very smooth/fluent, but as soon as I touch it and it goes to fullscreen, the fps drops to a ridiculous 1 or maybe 0,5.
I have to say that the quality bar has no effect "on the fly", I mean I have to set it and then press the start button, I test it, then I have to stop it, at this point icamsource always crash with lame_enc.dll error file, I restart it and then I change the bar value again.
By the way it has effect on fps, but to have a decent framerate I have to set it to very low value, and the quality of the image is so bad, nothing to compare with others cameras.
>>> ..so that option might not work the way you suggest..
Was just a suggest, I don't use dropbox for this purpose...but The Dropbox website file manager is able to recover deleted files. "show deleted files" on top right. http://db.tt/zFXj6REE so I can undelete entire directories too.
Excuse me, I'm not sure I understand, what you mean when you talk about Dropbox gets full of files?
What behavior happens when the phone and the computer are connected to the same local network?
I'm always on LAN when I do these tests,.. well, as I said the behavior is that: actually only with the wide camera(c525), when I double tap it, the network traffic drops and Framerate drops too. Others Logitech cameras and Smartcam(SourceForge) for nokia symbian and for Windows, works normally.
Thanks for you opinion, by the way I do not think the accidental deleting is a real problem for me. I have sunlight false positives but I also have a cat that randomly can pass in front of six cameras activating them, and I also have false positives for many others situations, for example while i'm testing cam positions and sensitivity, or a known person that enter the house or pass in the garden...etc.. so instead of deleting the entire folder on the pc or delete them one by one from the ios device, (is a bit boring to doubletap to enter full screen for each camera and then to confirm each time), I think a button in the option page like "Reset Storage" then "Confirm?" is enough to not do it accidentally.
Using zones isn't the solution, at least in my case, but I will try again. I usually use zones only for plants moved by the wind or cars. It would be nice if I could see exactly where, in the image, the motion has been activated.
Ok, now talking about you said "threshold",... Notification Threshold and Event Image Minimum
Thanks, I didn't remember they exist, cause they appear only if I active respectively "Send Notification" and "Record Motion" in iCamSource. I always did it from the ios device after leaving home. Thanks!
>>"Still looking for a way to "lock" folders..."
I do not think is a serious problem but yes, i noticed that the images are deleted definitively without pass through the Windows Recycle Bin. If you're so afraid to delete them maybe you can set destination folder into the dropbox folder, so you can recover them if you accidentally delete them and you can also retrive images if someone stole your computers.
Like obj I request a button that let me to delete all the motion events images.
edit: Now Talking about another thing, w/o open a new thread: The Motion Detection, I think it is too much sensible, I have the sensitivity bar at very low value. I have a lot of false positive, often did by rays of light.
