iCam Support / Re: Help with batch files and auto start

« on: June 01, 2011, 07:50:34 PM »

Stephan,

I now have a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.6.7

How do I run a batch file on OS X? I extremely new at this whole Mac thing so please help. Is it possible to use the same batch file stated above? If so, how and where do I put the file?

Thanks,
Russ

Well, now I have one instance of Icam source and the batch file in the start up folder and it seems to be working like it should.

Now, I click on the batch file and it works, but when i restart my pc i get 3 instances of Icam source running then it crashes and gives me an error pop up. In my start up folder I have 2 instances of Icam source and the batch file. Should I only have the batch or the batch file and one instance?

OK, I got the .txt changed to .bat, thanks for the help Stefan. Does my path for my IPcam look right? It's not starting with the usb cam.

That was an image from my iPhone. And the images that are saved look the same. I have messed with my cam settings and they look alittle bit better, but not great.

How do I change the .txt to .bat? I right clicked and tried to rename it, but it just comes out .bat.txt

I right clicked on the .bat file saved it to my desktop, right clicked on it and this is what I come up with

C:

cd "C:\Program Files\iCamSource"

start iCamSource.exe -url=http://192.168.0.126:81/videostream.cgi -cu=<USER> -cp=<PASS> -desc="Outside"

start iCamSource.exe -v=0 -a=0 -desc="Laptop"

When I double click it, it just opens the file up, in notepad. What am I doing wrong?? Also, what do I put in the <PASS> field if my cam does not use a password?

Ok, i have read this thread http://skjm.com/forum/index.php?topic=416.30 over and over and I'm still not sure how write the batch files to auto start the cams. Where exactly is the download .bat file found? I'm running Vista 32 bit, I have a USB cam and a IP Cam. I have them both up and running but have to switch between the two to view them. I would like for both of them to start when Icam source starts. This is the URL of my Ip cam that I'm using http://192.168.0.xxx:81/videostream.cgi

Also, why is the image so bad on the iPhone? (see image below) The images on my laptop are crystal clear in both Icam source and via web browser, as well the images on the Iphone via web browser.

Are you wanting to start it as a service so it starts immediately when the computer is turned on (but with nobody logged in), or as a normal startup program that loads when someone logs into the computer? One downside to the service is that you can't access the icamsource on the computer (without executing the icamsource on your own through the Start Menu) because it won't show up in the system tray...but that's also a positive thing if you don't want it obvious to everyone that it's running.

I want to be able to turn on my laptop, let it boot up and have icam running as a normal startup program. I'm the only user of this PC so I dont get a log on screen.

OK, I have read a few threads about getting iCam to start when the PC does. Can someone talk me through this procedure. I feel as though I'm fairly computer literate, but have never written batch files or anything. Thanks in advance!
