iCam Pro Support / Bandwidth questions
« on: July 06, 2014, 07:42:34 AM »
I've been enjoying using icam pro since it came out and have recently upgraded the number of cameras I use. I have a Foscam 8910, and 2 d-link 930l (all wireless). I don't have high resolution set on any of them and motion detection is enabled on only one of the 930l. Auto-config router is enabled as I'm otherwise unable to view the cameras outside of my network.
For a day or 2 I was also using a usb logitech c615 but my router seemed to be locking up after a few hours. Using iStat I see with only the 3 wireless cameras connected I am receiving to my computer (mac mini 2.3GHZ core i7 w/ 16GB ram) an average of 1MB/s. Is this normal? Is more than that (adding the logitech camera) too much for a single port? I ask as I have a d-link 932L ordered and want to make sure the setup can handle these 4 cameras, and hopefully add the 5th back into the picture. Is adding a port forwarding range beneficial (it's only going through port 13001 at the moment).
