iCam Support / Re: icamsource preview video doesn't fill window, leaves gray border

I just did as you suggested, however, this time I only connected the IP cams, not the webcam, thinking the webcam might be an issue, but I have the same problem with the partial grey border. Do you have any other ideas?

All four webcams (one D-Link, one Wansview, and two Foscams) and the webcam (MS Lifecam VX-3000) are all set to 640x480.
I would be willing to reinstall the icamsource and start all over again, but when I tried to do this, I found that all of the settings had been retained.

This is a relatively minor annoyance. I've attached a screenshot. I have 4 IP cameras and one webcam hooked up. The video preview for each of my cameras has a grey border on two sides as in the attached example. Anyone know the fix for this?
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the icamsource however nothing changed, but it appears that all of my settings were preserved as I did not have to re-enter all of the address info for each of my cams after the reinstallation.

iCam Support / Re: I have to turn off wifi on my iPhone to see video/events (only works over 3g)

UPnP is working fine. I get, "UPnP Success 12001 -> 12001". Also, I am wondering how it could be a router or port forwarding issue. Does the iCamSource software somehow know whether the iCam client device from which the request originates is connected via 3G or WiFi? I would have thought that all the incoming traffic would look the same to my router and the iCamSource regardless of how the client iPhone connects to the internet.

iCam Support / I have to turn off wifi on my iPhone to see video/events (only works over 3g)

I am running the latest iCam source on a Windows 7 machine. I have a USB webcam hooked up and also a D-Link IP camera running over wifi. On my iPhone (running iOS 5.1), I receive alerts when motion is detected according to the parameters I have set, however, if my phone is connected to a wifi network (doesn't matter which one - at my office, hotel, someone else's house - wherever), I get the "Source Connection Error" when I try to open the app. As soon as I turn off the wifi radio on my phone, I can see all my cameras with no problem whatsoever.

I'll also add that I have the iCam source running on an XP machine at my mother-in-law's house so that my wife and I can keep an eye on things when she comes to visit us, and I have the same issue - if my iPhone is connected to a wifi network, I can't see anything. Turn off the wifi radio on my phone, and everything works fine.

Does anybody else have this problem?
