 re: logitech orbit AF

Wishlist:
1. An option to turn off the pan/tilt ... since I accidentally pan and tilt often.

2. The pan and tilt swipe logic is not consistent. Please correct that.
I.E., The logic of pulling the camera right (dragging right to left, like pawing right) makes sense.
BUT the logic for tilt up is to swipe up from the bottom (which is backward from the logic
of pan pawing ... swiping right to left to pan right).

I.E., I'd like the logic of tilting up, to be pawing from top to bottom
just like pawing right to left to pan right. (This is why I'd like to just turn it off,
since I can never aim the camera back where it was. :-)

TO BE CLEAR:
Swiping from right to left, pans right.
Swiping from left to right, pans left.
BUT
Swiping from bottom to top, pans up.
Swiping from top to bottom, pans down.

(TO BE CONSISTENT WITH PAN, TILT SHOULD BE:)
Swiping from top to bottom, should pan up.
Swiping from bottom to top, should pan down.

(Or, you could think about the handle on a video tripod.)
Pull handle from right to left, pans right.
Pull handle from left to right, pans left.
Push handle down, tilts up.
Push handle up, tilts down.

The way it is now, you have to reverse wire your brain
when switching from panning to tilting. :-)

UPDATE: Ipad2 ATT 3G

ICam on Ipad2 WAS working with (external) wifi hot spots  (but not via AT&T 3G) ...

... UNTIL I downloaded that (old) SKJM registry adjustment program
and attempted to muck about with the router port forwarding.

NOW: Home wifi still works, but will no longer connect at wifi hotspots. ("broker")

Oh well. This is what happens when morons muck about. :-)

If you already have port forwarding configured on your router, I would like to try and confirm that your port forwarding is functioning as we expect it to. If you visit this link in your computer's web browser: http://portchecker.net/udp.php?p=12001

... it will open a webpage that contains a Java Applet in it (similar to iCamWeb) that will be able to listen on port 12000 for a UDP packet to be sent from a server on the Internet to your computer.

If your port forwarding is functioning correctly then you should see a message saying that the port is "open." If it is not functioning correctly, it should say that it is blocked.

Also, please send a screenshot of your router's port forwarding configuration to support@skjm.com so we can verify the settings. Please reference this post and your username.

FOLLOW UP (2): Status - Wifi AND AT&T 3G are working :-)

NOTE1: This is the first time I'd tried to configure port forwarding on a router. Comment: I easily set the porting range, but it wasn't obvious to me what ip to port them to. :-) Finally figured out to hover the cursor over the network map to see the local network ip of the laptop. (Of course I'd previously had wifi hotspot working, so my problem probably had nothing to do with that. LoL

NOTE 2: The real problem (I fairly sure) was setting the software firewall on the PC to allow the connection to ... but let us note that the wifi hotspot connection had previously worked before I got this "fixed."

SO .. the problem of AT&T 3G connection was PERHAPS solved when I was attempting to set the software firewall rules of ICamSource (both inbound and outbound) ... AND also set the advanced rules to "Allow edge traversal."

BOTTOM LINE: I honestly don't know which of the things I did fixed the problem ... BUT after first breaking everything (so that even local wifi wouldn't work) ... I finally managed to solve the AT&T 3G "broker" problem.

ONE QUESTION FOR THE SKJM TEAM: Do you think the "Allow edge traversal" option had something to do with allowing AT&T 3G to work? (I have no idea. LoL)

Thanks. I've sent IP to support email.
(Since it won't connect even with 5-bar 3G signal strength there must be an AT&T issue.)

re: AT&T 3G problem - Ipad 2 / Palm Springs CA area
(Cellular Data Number on Ipad2: 760 ... ....)
(Webcam Icamsource computer ip  98.149 ... ...)
(Icam connection login name: artistofideas)

Note: Icam works on home WIFI ... and on public wifi across town at Starbucks.

But Icam gets "broker" error on AT&T 3G (even with 5 full bars of signal strength)

?
