Network / IP Camera Compatibility / Re: Using IP Phone as a video source

Stefan,

I'm not too worried about the frame rate (I'd rather see something once a minute than not at all), but I can see what you mean when you say it's a limitation.  2MB is rather big for a JPG.  Too inefficient for technologies like GPRS/3G.

Thanks for checking it out though.  Hopefully it was a couple of bucks well spent!

Network / IP Camera Compatibility / Using IP Phone as a video source

« on: December 16, 2009, 01:26:06 AM »

Hi all,

I am hoping to utilize a spare iPhone as a video source to ICam.
I guess I have two questions:
  Is there an iPhone version of the iCamSource software?
  Secondly, has anyone managed to get another iPhone app, simply called "IP Camera" working with iCam?  That app renders a page (which includes JavaScript) which is basically a still frame that refreshes every so often. Looking at the HTML I found it populates a URL (http://ipaddr/getCameraJpg) with an image at regular intervals. (in fact the page redered is not HTML I think but simply a JPG image). Does iCam support the regular refresh an display of stills?  It would work well with IP Camera if it did. When I give that URL to iCam it throws an error.

Thanks for a great app in iCam
Scott
