Thanks for your reply. No Dropbox, no recording of any kind. I'm just using icam as a live video feed.

iCam Support / How secure is a Windows XP computer running iCamSource and nothing else?

« on: April 09, 2014, 07:01:57 PM »

I have an old Windows XP running icam source and nothing else. Security is Windows Firewall, the free Avast and a guest style XP user account with no permissions. Because of icam it's connected to the internet 24/7. Is that a problem now that XP is no longer supported or is it okay? Thanks.

I'll traveling again but will check this when I get back. In the meantime are there any other things that commonly cause the connection between the computer and your server to fail after several days? (without crashing iCamSource. It appeared to be running properly when I returned. I just needed to click the Stop then Start button in iCamSource to regain the camera feed on the iPod Touch.) Thanks.

No Sources Found after several days of working properly.

This is a great app. Thanks! I had two cams running for several days while I was away, each connected to a separate computer, viewing both with the same userid and password on my iPod Touch. After 5 days one of cams disappeared then 3 days later the second one disappeared and iCam reported No Sources Found. When I got home the iCamSource was running properly on both computers and the camera images were visible on the computer monitors. After clicking Stop and then Start in iCamSource  the cameras could be seen again on my iPod Touch.

What do you suggest to fix this "No Sources Found" problem?

Thanks.

Followup: Dell's PC Checkup was scheduled to run a full scan on the same days the two cameras disappeared. Could this cause the loss of connection without crashing iCamSource? Both computers are a few years old and run Windows XP.
