iCam Pro Support / Re: iCamSource Pro 1.3.4 BETA Released with H.264/MPEG-4 Support

Stefan, 

That is correct,  I can adjust the Amcrest Pan/Tilt using a browser (Chrome) and with their Amcrest View mobile app tested with both an iPhone and iPad.

It might be interesting for you to know that for browser control and access to the Amcrest camera control panels on a Mac I need to use the Google Chrome browser with the Amcrest Web View Plug-In. A Mac Safari or Mac Firefox Plug-In is not available.

For me the Pan/Tilt from iCam Source Pro is not essential but it would be nice.

Thanks for your work on this.

I've installed version 1.3.4.5 Beta on an iMac (late 2012) running macOS High Sierra version 10.13.4 which is the most recent version.

Pan tilt from my iPhone and iPad still works with my old Trendnet IP422 cameras but it does not work with my old Trendnet IP-651WI or my new Amcrest IP3M-941B cameras. 

Both Trendnet cameras are set-up in iCam Source Pro for MJPEG.  The Amcrest is RTSP.

I am not finding any settings in the camera control panel configurations that would prohibit remote pan/tilt control.

The Amcrest model IP3M-HX2B camera arrived last night and it works great with 1.3.4.4.  FYI I am running macOS 10.13.4 on an iMac 27" Late 2012 model.

FYI, I ordered and received an Amcrest IP3M-941 camera and it works well.   

I’ve tried various resolutions including the 2K (2304*1296) and 1080P and the picture looks great.

For audio from the camera I needed to change the Audio Encode Mode on the camera from the AAC default to the G.711Mu or G.711A using the settings control on the Amcrest Web View App. For anyone else using the Amcrest cameras I learned that on a Mac, the Amcrest Web View App which is used for changing the camera settings is only compatible with Google Chrome, not Safari or Firefox. Amcrest customer support says they are aware of the compatibility issue and are working on a Safari plug in that will be compatible with the most recent version of Mac OS and Safari.

I have found that I am unable to operate the Pan/Tilt with the iCam Pro iPhone App but I had this limitation with my previous Trendnet TP-IP651WI cameras also. The Pan/Tilt works great with the Trendnet TV-IP422W series models however the resolution of these older cameras is not very good.  If there are any settings adjustments in iCamSource Pro or in the camera settings that anyone would recommend to allow pan/tilt from the iPhone, please advise.

Regarding schmegs comment of “Network Camera Offline” I am only getting that for a new camera RTSP ip addresses that I set-up in iCamSource Pro when the camera is unplugged. Do you have an ip address entered in the camera list for a camera that is no longer connected or for an ip address that has changed?  It is interesting that I have a few other ip addresses assigned in iCam Source Pro for my older cameras using MJPEG and these simply show the text ’No Image” instead of “Network Camera Offline”.  A useful software feature would be to have an enable/disable feature per camera whereby if a specific camera will not be used temporarily it can be disabled in the software without having to use the minus button to delete it permanently and loose all the settings.

I have another Amcrest camera on order to arrive tomorrow, model IP3M-HX2B (2K, wide angle, non pan/tilt). I will report back as to it’s compatibility with the new iCamSource Pro beta version.

Hello, Does anyone know if the Amcrest IP3M-941 cameras are compatible with the new iCamSource Pro 1.3.4.3 Beta for MacOS?  If am looking to replace some old Trendnet IP422W and IP651WI cameras with wider view angle and higher resolution camera models.  Any comments or recommendations will be appreciated.

Thanks!

iCam Pro Support / iCamSourcePro - Trendnet TV-IP651WI compatibility

« on: September 18, 2016, 10:57:40 AM »

Hello everyone,

I have been running iCamSourcePro on an iMac since it was first released and used the original iCam Source app for a few years prior to the release of iCamSourcePro.

 I have a few Trendnet TV IP-422 / 422W / and 422WN cameras that work perfectly including sound monitoring and pan/tilt adjustment from my iPhone and iPad.

I recently acquired two newer Trendnet TV-IP651WI cameras.  While the video picture quality is much better on these new cameras,  I no longer have audio monitoring or pan/tilt capability with this new model.

I do have audio and pan/tilt when accessing the camera directly through a web browser so the feature would appear to be "turned on" in the camera settings.

I’m using the following path on iCamSourcePro to access the cameras:
 
ipaddress /video/mjpg.cgi

I have tried all of the other paths shown in the iCamPro support page.  Some of the paths don’t work at all, others give me the same result - video only with no sound and no pan/tilt control.

Does anyone know if there are any other settings that may enable the audio and pan/tilt feature with the TV-IP651WI cameras, or are these new cameras just not full feature compatible with iCamProSource v1.1.1?

Any help or suggestions will be sincerely appreciated.

Thanks!

Ed
