iCam Support / Re: iCam app need to update to support iPhone 5 screen

« on: January 10, 2013, 02:30:29 PM »

I guess it works well enough on my iPhone 5 with the black bars, but yes please update your app for 2013 to use the whole screen
My web cam source is 16x9 so would be best viewed on my 16x9 iPhone 5

iCam Support / Re: Ghost iCam video window pops up, left over after LogMeIn terminates MediaCenter

« on: April 15, 2010, 01:38:03 AM »

Thanks, yes everything is up to date.  (I'm an IT Engineer)

This behavior has happened in the past on a previous computer.   This new HP Pavilion Slimline with NVidia card acts the same.

I recently did a vanilla clean install of Windows 7 x64 Ultimate to clear out some other non related problem.

The ghost box still appears.

It must have something to do with Media Center as you said. (and the way Media Center is abruptly terminated)

Any other ideas?

iCam Support / Ghost iCam video window pops up, left over after LogMeIn terminates MediaCenter

Is there anything you can do about the following?   Here's how to re-create it.

Windows 7 x64, USB Webcam (Logitech QuickCam Ultra Vision)

Have http://logmein.com installed on the media center.  (the free version works great)

When I remote log into my computer, sometimes I have MediaCenter still running as my HTPC is used to watch TV in the livingroom. (and iCam)

Durring the remote login connection, if MediaCenter is up and running, it will automatically close to prevent problems, and allowing me to see the desktop.   After MediaCenter closes, the following iCam video (ghost/partial) box pops up in the upper left!   You then also see TWO iCam icons in the system tray.   The ghost video box doesnt go away until I close iCam.

Can you figure out what causes this and have it suppressed?

iCam Support / iCam for WHS (Windows Home Server) run as service

« on: April 09, 2010, 01:44:09 AM »

Can you make it so iCam runs on Windows Home Server?   (as a service, since nothing is logged in full time)

I'd like to get all network / wireless web cams, and have them connect to the WHS for security recordings etc.

I have the HP MediaSmart EX495.

Thanks!

iCam Support / Re: Can you make AutoStart really auto start?

install logmein.com on your computer.  It's free, and then you can remote access to that computer to turn on icamsource if you forgot or it hung up

iCam Support / Re: Another feature request

I too would like to see some type of redundent backup.  Maybe auto upload to Flickr, or other free hosting service?   Maybe auto email them?  FTP would work, but I'd have to find an off site FTP server to use then.

iCam Support / Re: Recording video from iCam

Wow, This whole system and iPhone app is exactly what I'm looking for.

-Simple, clean setup and interface
-No monthy fee's

If you could add motion recording in addition to your current setup that would be perfect.

For now, if I get an alert, and see a stranger on my iphone, I'll hit the HOME + Power button at the same time. (that's how you take a "screen shot" of what you're currently looking at.    You should add this tip in the help section if it's not already.  I havnt tried this yet, but I'm sold on the reviews/videos alone.

Next stop, is shopping for cams.  Here is the setup I want.
1) Livingroom web cam (hooked up to my home theater PC (Windows 7 Media Center)
2) IP based camera, in my bedroom

I'm assuming this should work ok in Windows 7? I can use Vista compatibility mode for now if it's not.
I've always liked the D-Link cameras.  It comes with a nice auto motion recording software package. (PC only I think)

Also, can we have mutliple computers all connected to the same iCam setup?   Say one camera is on my livingroom home theater pc, and then I have a laptop up and running in the kitchen with built in camera.  Can I combine the two streams? (plus a 3rd IP camera)  Speaking of IP cam, maybe I dont need an IP camera.  Is there a "wireless" camera that will connect to my windows machine seemless as a standard web camera? That would make things even easier.
