I have a galaxy s5 with kitkat 4.4.4 on it and I just installed icam which I had been using for a long time on the ios platform. Where is the settings or the ability to log in and log out when you use multiple accounts? I logged in and it set, but I want to change the log in. Also seems like a bug. If you put the wrong password in, its just set and you cant edit. Help.
Ok thats fine, back to the main issue at hand. The slow playback of motion events. Why is it that the computer that does my shop that has two usb cams pluged in, plays back at an awesome speed. Its like 1 pic a sec or more and the thumbs generate fast. The house computer with 4 foscams, 2 of which are 8910s mjpeg and the other is the 9821's, the thumbnail creation and playback on iphone is 1 pic every 4 seconds. This is how its been for a very long time even before adding the two new 9821's.
It is also worth noting that icamsource doesnt seem to want to play too well with the newer FI9821W v2 cameras that are 720p/h.264 When you start icamsource you can see them in the iCam on the iPhone, but in the iCamSource all you see is a gray screen and below it saying "Cannot Find JPEG data. Your network ip camera nay not be supported. Please click the HELP button to verify your cameras Camera URL. I am using this for a URL as its all I could get to work http://IPADDRESS:PORT/cgi-bin/CGIStream.cgi?cmd=GetMJStream&usr=username&pwd=password
With these two cams, I get NETWORK CAMERA OFFLINE in iCam on the iPhone.
No the video on the computer in icamsource is fine, realtime. Two cameras are Foscam 8910W and two are 9821W v2 I am not sure how to tell the fps setting of each camera. CPU usage seems fine. Its at 18% overall and icamsource is at 12% and using 56 megs of ram.
This is still an issue and I cannot figure it out. The setup is a house and a shop in the backyard. In the house there is a computer windows 7 with icamsource 2.7.2 on it and it has 4 ip cameras. In the shop in the backyard there is a very old windows xp computer with two usb cameras attached. The shop computer is connected to the home network via wifi. While I use the iphone to view with icam, the playback of the two shop cameras are fast and enjoyable like a few pics a second. The playback of any of the 4 house cameras are painfully slow. It is like 1 picture every 3 or 4 seconds. Any ideas?
The computer in the shop is a low end pc but thats all its doing is icam. The one in the house (both are on the same network) does do a lot more, but its also a beefier pc. It may be slow disk access. I just dont know. The computer is a i3 cpu with 4 gigs ram and 1 terabyte drive. Seems fine for all other things.
Same network right here in the house on wifi. I can view the old cam pictures in the workshop And it's fast. If I view old cam pics from the house, they are slow
Thanks for this tip. I needed to do this for it to work on ATT 3g and it does now indeed work. I have two computers setup and I set up 12000-12100 UDP to one computer and 12200-12300 to the other computer. Thanks!
I have 2 computers set up, one in the home, one in the workshop. On each I have the software running and the same kind of webcam on both computers. When I pull up my iphone and see the cams, if I click on the one in the workshop, and do some playback of past captures, the rate of playback is nice and fluid, almost fast. Great. When I do the one in the home which is on a much beefier woop daddy computer, the playback is dreadfully slow. Almost at the rate of 1 pic every 2 seconds or maybe 3 seconds, this is slow. Any idea why there is a difference?
