iCam Support / Re: Mac OSX 10.7 "Lion"

« on: August 05, 2011, 10:15:54 PM »

Hi,

I'm having the same problem. My CPU usage is cool at about 5% but iCam crashes constantly. It never stays open for more than 12 hours. I just loaded it again. Do you want my crash logs as well after it crashes again?

Thank you.

iMac 27-inch, Mid 2011
Processor - 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory - 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics - AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB
Software - Mac OS X Lion 10.7 (11A511)

I've had some little experience with that type of set-up, but never with a webcam. It could very well be confusing which router/gateway is actually forwarding which port number.

I'm assuming you're using a router? Have you opened up your computer's IP for DMZ? Apple likes to use quite a few ports, make sure you're not assigning one of these: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629?viewlocale=en_US - Do you have any other devices that you're successfully able to access via port forwarding from a remote location?

iCam Support / 4 Internet IP Camera Recommendations (Wired & Wireless)

« on: March 26, 2010, 07:19:19 PM »

I promised an update once all 4 cams were in place, so here ya go!

I'm using the following cameras:

Living Room: Linksys WVC54GCA
Garage: Airlink101 AIC250W
Back Porch: D-Link DCS-920
Study (Road): TrendNet TV-IP110W



I'm using them all wirelessly, they all have a reserved static IP based on their MAC address, each with a different associated port number because they each have their own Dynamic DNS. So not only can they be used by the iCam iPhone software I can also independently access each one via the Internet and view their video and/or access them as an Admin and modify their settings.

They were all very easy to set up too. Below is some basic info about each one.

If anyone has questions, beyond their regular features, about performance, GUI, quality, etc.. please just let me know.
Thanx!

iCam Support / Re: Trying to run 2 IP cameras (Linksys & Airlink) & 2 USB cameras (Xbox & MacAl

Bummer. It does fail too. I thought it was probably something like that. I never suspected the iCamSource software. I was just hoping there was a fix for it. Well, looks like I'm buying another IP network cam. I was wondering, have you tested any battery operated wireless IP network cameras? I was curious about them. I know the vuezone.com cameras will not work since they are FLV based, but I thought you may know of some MJPEG based brands and/or models that you could recommend? Thanx!

Yep, it appears that I can run only 1 USB camera at a time. I can click on "Stop" in one and "Start" in the other and vice-versa and i can toggle between the 2, but they will not work at the same time

Actually I can't even get the MacAlly & Xbox camera to play properly by themselves with only 2 instances of iCamSource open. Both USB. It's like there's some weird USB conflict going on or something. Perhaps it is that "bandwidth" issue you were referring to earlier. Who knows......but I'm sure you have dozens of people running 2+ USB cameras constantly with no issues.

Actually I'm not using Macam at all, no need to. When I only run 1 instance of iCamSource it sees the Xbox camera just fine, it's only when I introduce multiple copies running at one time does it go all haywire. In fact, when I tried it with Macam, it behaved exactly the same, and the Macam app itself never could see the Xbox camera.  I wonder what I could try next...

iCam Support / Trying to run 2 IP cameras (Linksys & Airlink) & 2 USB cameras (Xbox & MacAlly)

« on: March 10, 2010, 02:33:20 PM »

I have a 24" iMac running 10.6.2 & 2 Belkin 2.0 USB Hubs. I have a Linksys WVC54GCA, Xbox LIVE Vision Camera, MacAlly IceCam2 & an Airlink AIC250W. I just recently added the Xbox camera to the mix, until then I was using my internal iSight. I had been running 4 instances flawlessly (audio, video, motion, recording, etc..), but once I hooked up my Xbox camera it rarely shows up, displaying just empty/white video - plus it usually counteracts with the other 3 cameras causing them to lose their feeds or fail completely. I have the latest version of the iCamSource software for my Mac & my iPhone, plus all the latest firmware for all 4 cameras. I have tried different USB hub configurations, including plugging the Xbox camera directly into the Mac, but the same results. The only way I can get the Xbox cam to work is by only having 1 instance of the iCamSource software running. I have also tried with having no Login items load on Startup accept the 4 iCamSource apps. Still fails. I have tried activating the apps in a different order, tried opening all with auto-start off, etc... - everything seems to fail.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
