iCam Support / Re: New Release - iOS iCam 2.1 + iCamSource 2.4
« on: November 30, 2011, 04:31:27 PM »
Hello there! I bought iCam for iOS last week and I really like it!
Today however I noticed an odd behavior:
When I am in the overview screen I can see both of my cams running smoothly over 5fps (on wifi that is) but when I watch one in full screen even on the worst quality setting I will only get about 0,5fps.
Now at first I thought "Hey! Of course that's because the full screen version has a higher resolution which will take up more bandwidth!" but I checked the outgoing traffic anyway:
overview screen: 250-350 kB/s
fullscreen: 10-20kb/s
overview on 3G: 4kb/s
fullscreen: up to 19kb/s
I have several questions now:
1. Why doesn't the full screen view on wifi use the same bandwidth as the overview screen?
2. Why does the fullscreen view on 3G only use 19kb/s although I have approx. 60kb/s (DSL 16.000) upload bandwidth at my disposal?
3. Does the video stream go through your servers? or is it directly sent to my iOS device?
