iCam Support / iCamSource Saving to a Google Drive Folder - A Problem

« on: October 12, 2013, 03:02:40 PM »

I have tried having iCamSource (version 2.7.1) save the motion-event images from three Foscam cameras into three separate folders on my Mac.  The main folder is a Google Drive folder.

It seems  like a bright idea, right?  I can see my cameras' images from anywhere I have access to a web browser.

The problem?  I keep getting a Google Drive popup that halts syncing until I acknowledge the popup.  The popup header prompts, "Move to Google Drive trash?", and states, "Items you recently moved from your Google Drive folder have been moved to your trash on drive.google.com". The prompt is, "OK, move to trash" or "Undo".  Clicking "Undo" doesn't leave any files or folders to peruse.

It seems iCamSource creates in the background some sort of temporary file, or files, each time it creates a new folder to contain images of a new motion event.  So, every new motion event causes Google to show the popup.

Does anyone use iCamSource and Google drive together?  Does anyone else experience this problem and know how to tell Google to just do it already?  I don't need or want the popup.  I've searched the web and it seems no one has figured out a way to get the popup to stop.

Help!

I'm confident it is my iPhone 3GS that is bad. The borrowed iPhone 3GS has worked fine for over a week.

I look at the 3GS video whenever iCamSource sends me notice of movement on that camera.  On bright, clowdy and windy days there is a lot of movement and I get many notices.

So, yes. ICamSource is watching the feed from the 3GS camera all the time.  I use iCam, the iPhone's Safari browser, and some other iphone apps (trying many...) to also view the 3GS camera feed.

I'm beginning to think it may be my 3GS iPhone.  I borrowed another 3GS that has been running ipCam for several days (since Tuesday AM).  The longest sequential run yet. Look at  http://71.240.189.226:12344  It is on the same wifi router.

Unless room lighting is an issue, both 3GS phones are configured the same. I used an iTunes 3GS restore file to make them both the same configuration. Only the local IP address and assigned network port is different.  I'll swap 3GS camera locations tonight and see if anything changes over the weekend.

It seems no matter what settings I use, I can't seem to get ipCam to operate more than 36 hours.  I've not seen any log files.

To see what is going on, take a look through the camera at http://71.240.189.226:12345  (No user/password required...)

Fore the rest of the day (or until the ipCam App dies) this iPhone camera is available for viewing.  

Maybe the iPhone itself is the problem!?

I've not found any crash reports related to ipCam. 

To try something - I've changed only the "Image Size" to Medium and ipCam ran for about 36 hours.  I'll try changing "Image Size" to Small and see if ipCam run-time improves.

ipCam Support / ipCam crashing issues

I'm having the ipCam crashing issues.  I'm using an iPhone 3GS (32GB) that has the SIM card removed and has been wiped of everything but iOS5.1 and ipCAM.  The only app running is ipCam.  I really like the app but it is useless if it doesn't run continuously.

I can't see the camera images after about eight hours; often less and seldom more than 8 hours.  I am viewing the iPhone 3GS images from my iPhone 4S.  It doesn't seem to matter if I'm viewing the 3GS images within the LAN or over the internet. 

I don't care about audio, though I can see it's application.

Any hints as to how to make ipCam run forever on a 3GS?  I'm planning a long trip an would like to have the 3GS be an additional security camera.  (I have 8 Foscam cameras on the same network.)  Over 30 network devices are on my LAN.  No problems accessing them locally or remotely 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
