I recently built a Windows XP Box with a 60GB SSD. I would certainly prefer to leave the SSD as clean as possible. Is anyone saving their images from iCamSource to a flash drive, instead of the main drive? Has this presented any performance issues?
As an alternative, I have seen Dropbox solutions in the past on this forum. I guess that is a route to take, also.
I am curious if there have been any thoughts around developing server side software that runs on a low power server. I am thinking of the Linux "plug" computers that have a small footprint (energy and physical space-wise).
On a related note, is there a Windows or OS X capable machine that has low cost and has low power requirements like the Linux "plug" machines? I do know the latest Mac mini does have low power requirements.
Jay - I will double check the message, as this one was snapped some time ago, but the events that elicit an error message are as follows:
1. Wait for Motion Events list to populate (recently, has been taking a minute or greater). 2. Either list will populate OR the aforementioned message (I believe it is this one), will appear. Display returns to multi-view display of sources and the source that I was trying to view motion events for will say "Source Connection Closed" or "Connection Closed" and the view for that source will be blacked out.
My setup: WinXP P4 machine w/1GB RAM. Three Wi-Fi based MJPEG cameras; if necessary, I can double check how many images/second the camera is outputting for processing.
Attachments not enabled on your forum. May I ask why not? It is just one more step, in my opinion and makes the board less useful.
Next point: The graphic below was observed after these steps: 1. Waiting for Motion Events list to populate (takes a long time with my setup). 2. iPhone went to sleep. 3. Unlocked iPhone, this is what appeared.
Note: I do observe a screen similar to this when system notifications appear when I am in the Motion Events screen in the past, but not in this specific case that I have documented here for you.
Here is the error message I receive fairly routinely with the Motion Events folder size set to 500MB:
The way these images are being fetched, could it not be improved? I don't need to look at the older events often. Couldn't the app just load the last 30 days of events or something?

I will be updating my other topic thread, but I have to wait so long for the Motion Events to appear, the iPhone (3GS) went to sleep. When I unlocked the phone, here is what I saw:
I am interested in purchasing a night vision IP camera. For those out there with such an IP camera, would you mind uploading an image or two from your camera(s). I would love to see real-world examples of these types of cameras in use.
I saw some talk about the Airlink brand. It looks like they have reasonably-priced night vision cameras. If anyone has that brand in particular, I would appreciate you providing a sample night vision image.
