iCam Support / 3G Problems...
« on: December 19, 2009, 02:57:19 PM »
Hi there,
I bought this app today. I installed source on my vista machine etc... My single webcam was detected and working on my internal wifi on my iphone. It wouldnt work on 3G however, so I followed the help in ythis forum (very useful) to port forward, and hey presto, the cam was viewable over 3G.
I was so impressed with the app that I went out and bought another £30 webcam (So now i have 2 x MS VX3000s) and installed this webcam on another PC in my house also running vista.
I changed the port range for this cam to 12200 - 12300 (The first cam is default 12000-12100) in my router settings for 3G and alas, it worked over my internal wifi network on the iphone...
However,
I then tried it on 3G and it was giving me the ''source connection error'' message [showing 0/2 cams also!!]. Strange. So i checked all my router port settings for both cams and couldnt find any typos or problems. I restarted both cams to see if that helped.
I then tried it again on the iphone over 3G - and it worked!!
Content, I turned wifi back on my iphone and forgot about it.
I tried it over 3G (full signal) later this evening (not having touched/changed anything on the 2 cams or router's settings etc..) and it was back to the old ''source connection error'' message. I've tried rebooting the router (remotley over 3G on my iphone), restarting the cams etc...
It has not worked again since on 3G - All I ever get is the ''source connection error'' message.
It will work on an external wifi network (My mates) so I believe the port forwarding is okay.
Both icam and source apps are latest versions (downloaded today).
Please help - I really need this to work over 3G, as I'm barely on external wifi networks as I'm a mobile engineer by trade.
Looking forward to your response, let me know if I can assist you further?
Thanks in advance for any help offered,
Looking forward to using this great app out on the road over 3G.
