iCam Support / iCamSource performance on Atom

« on: April 22, 2013, 12:13:17 AM »

I'm looking reduce the heat production of my electronics. I replaced my old PC with a Trinity powered one and I want this system to sleep when not in use. The only thing preventing that was iCamSource, so I replaced my two Logitech C260s with two Dlink DCS-930Ls that can run standalone. To say that I greatly prefer the notification and archive system of iCamSource would be an understatement. I'm thinking that a used netbook may be a good compromise as a low heat iCamSource server for all four cameras. My question is whether this is feasible and what specs affect iCamSource performance the most. Can I get away with a single core hyperthreaded 1.6 ghz Atom, or should I look for a dual core atom, 1 vs 2gb RAM, intel vs ION chipset, XP vs 7, etc?

Thanks!

iCam Support / cam preview doesn't scale correctly

This is a newly built system that I am moving my cams to. After installing icamsource and setting up the first cam I ran into this issue. I believe it is related to Windows UI and text scaling, which I have set to 125%. Until this is resolved I will have to switch back to 100%, which is undesirable on this system. I am attaching examples of the setting and the problem that results.
