iCam Support / Re: multi-input capture cards...any work?

Well, the easycam USB dongles do not work on my first try.  There are several models of the easycam, and several drivers, and it is difficult to determine which driver goes with which model.  I'll keep trying, but it is not worth the hassle.  I ultimately want to go IP, but I was just trying to use what I have first.

Icamuser, thanks for the manycam suggestion.   I will try it, but from first glance it seems to be an effects-type addon for a webcam input.  From your description, it sounds as if it is possible to send (a portion) of the screen out as a camera source which icamsource will recognize?

iCam Support / Four camera limit for iPhone app?

« on: June 21, 2010, 09:48:01 AM »

I've only used two cameras with my iPhone.  There are four camera windows in the app.  Is four the limit, or does the app support more?

I never could get my 4 port capture card to work with more than one port.  This is not surprising, as only ONE DVR app of the dozens I've tried works with all four inputs.  I ordered two EasyCAP USB devices for $8 each.  Hopefully these will work.

I gotta say, iCam is one of the single best iPhone apps I have come across.  It makes my camera system usable again.

iCam Support / multi-input capture cards...any work?

« on: June 08, 2010, 05:52:09 AM »

First, great app.  I've had a pc DVR with 4 cams running for a few years but have never been easily able to view the cams from anything other that a full web browser.  icam worked immediately and is very nice.  Occasional 'cannot connect' messages on 3G, but I'll look into the port forwarding option.

I have a generic Chinese BT878 4 input PCI card using the sourceforge WDM drivers.  This card/driver works in some apps but not all.  In icam, it works, but I only get one of the four inputs...icam only sees one instance/input.

Are there any specific 4 (or more) input cards that are verified to work with icam?

Thanks.
