So it wasn't the cats who were at fault.  The laptop went into sleep mode.  I went into the energy settings and made sure that if it's plugged in - not to go to sleep mode.  Been working great all day.

VK - I sometimes get that too.  Usually if I'm moving.  I find that it sometimes takes me two or three tries to connect.

I noticed the last camera there has pan-tilt control.  Can you control that withint ICam IPhone app?  My wife and I have been looking for a way to replace our baby monitor and it would be cool to have pan-tilt.

iCamSource does have video-only support for Wi-Fi cameras that output MJPEG formatted data.  Cameras by Axis, Panasonic, and Canon have been known to work well, but they can be somewhat expensive.

We also own and use the WiFi cameras listed below.  They're relatively inexpensive:

I didn't see any error.  Just a black box where it was.  My wife says she saw it for a little bit and then it went black on hers.  Since I did get some motion detection notifications, I suspect one of the cats might have either close the laptop lid of unplugged it and it went into sleep mode.  I'll know more when I get home.  Will keep you posted.

Good to know it can be viewed from multiple IPhones though.  Thanks.

iCam Support / view from multiple iphones?

« on: May 25, 2010, 07:52:09 AM »

I have two laptops at home as cam sources.  I have the application installed on my iphone and my wives.  I was watching both feeds this morning and it was reporting motion well.  I went to grab breakfast and when I came back I lost one feed.  I got an email from my wife that she was looking at it.  Can only one IPhone be connected to a feed at one time?
