iCam Pro Support / iCam Pro "No LAN Sources Found" error
« on: March 25, 2016, 11:18:21 AM »
I'm trying to connect an iPhone 4s 16GB (clean setup, iOS 9.2) running iCam Pro (latest version in the app store as of Mar 20, 2016) to both a Win7 or Win10 PC over WiFi. Tried this on two different networks. iCamSource Pro v1.2 starts up with "Your network IP camera could not be connected to" (seriously, grammar?) but otherwise seems to be running okay. But no matter what I do, the phone will not connect. I have:
- verified that IP address of the phone is the same as the one entered into the Source URL field, plus MJPEG as suggested by the online help.
- tried turning autoconfig router off
- tried turning Disable LAN-only discovery off
- tried reinstalling the iCam Pro app several times
- tried starting and stopping the app and server in different orders multiple times.
- tried to go to the URL - could not load page error, suggesting the camera is not working
- The iCamSource Pro program finds up my USB webcam fine however.
- tried to see if Open Broadcaster Studio could see the Source as a video input (which is what I need to do) and it couldn't see it anywhere either, suggesting that the camera is correct, that the service is NOT actually running (although maybe the camera has to be found before the service makes itself available). And OBS finds the real webcam as a video source fine. I don't think that it's picking it up from iCamSource though.
The setup instructions are somewhat lacking. For example, they don't say 1) whether you should start the service or camera first - both give errors when they start. 2) the instructions say to put in the id and password... but the Source program has TWO id and password locations, and a URL, all of which have to contain something before the service starts up. I'm assuming the ids & passwords have to be the same, although I've tried using different IDs, short passwords, etc.
