Is it possible to use additional laptops (with built-in web cams) as iCam Pro sources? I have a number of IP cams (connect to iCam Pro) running on our property, which works great, but we also have a number of laptops scattered throughout, with built-in webcams, and it'd be great to be able to utilize them as well.
Is there a reason why a camera would work fine with iCam, but not iCam pro? It's a basic USB web cam (Future Shop house brand) with audio/video support. Been using it (along with a series of network cameras) for years with iCam, but as soon as I upgraded to iCam Pro (and foolishly, immediately bought the $9.99 "upgrade") the camera no longer works (shows up as a source, but doesn't display video, nor receive audio). If I quit iCam Pro and re-launch iCam, it totally works again. I'd assumed these apps, since they're so close in terms of feature sets, would support the same line of cameras (or, at least the "pro" version would support the cameras the regular version supports, plus more). Any suggestions?
Running the latest iCam Pro Source (under 10.10, public release) and the latest iCam Pro (under iOS 8.1, public release).
Yea, I was hoping this would have been added with the pro version as well. I've already written an app for myself that does this (scheduling iCam itself, not just motion detection + programming the schedule, setting iCam into "vacation mode", etc.—all from the iPhone/iPad ), but it'd really be a lot easier if this was just built into the app itself.
Please re-enter the iCam login and password for the two cameras that aren’t working. The login/password for each camera is stored separately, so it is possible for them to get out of sync.
Is there a reason for this? If the iOS app supported multiple passwords, this feature would be amazing as I would be able to monitor different locations—home and work—without having to constantly log out/in to change viewable locations on iOS, but from what I can tell, the iOS app only supports a single login? Is there any plans on supporting multiple logins in the iOS app (to go along with multiple logins in iCam Source)?
As I require a little more control over when iCam Source is running, via a schedule, I've written a small AppleScript application that allows me to set a schedule for when the app is activate/inactive (for example, if only want it running when I'm away from home, during the week). This worked out great, but the one issue I had was that sometimes I'd need to override the schedule (for example, if I was away for the weekend, or came home early, etc.). So, I've written a small Universal iOS app that basically lets me remotely enable/disable iCam Source from my iPhone/iPad.
Anyway, I'm going to be incorporating some additional functionality into the app (to manage the schedules) and it got me thinking—is there any baked-in way to communicate with iCam Source from the command line? Right now, it's all-or-nothing (aka iCam Source is either on or off) and was wondering if there'd be a way to enable/disable individual feeds (for example, keep the camera in my garage running while disabling the feeds from the rest of the house). That kinda thing.
Is it possible to use another Mac's built-in iSight camera as a source? I have a MacBook Air in another room and wondering if iCam can use this device's camera as a source?
Yea, I've been removing the password for quite some time now, but I've been adding more cameras (IP-based) to the network, so I've been going in and out of the program a lot more lately (testing) and thought that it would really make things a lot easier (and more secure) if there was the option for password-protection on an application level (on top of the stream-level that's already built in). So, if this feature could be considered for a future update, I'm sure all users would benefit from it (as some of us are using feeds into our homes, the more security, the better).
Is there any way to password protect the opening of the iCam app on iOS devices? Or any other way of making it difficult for anyone with access to the phone to start viewing the streams?
Same here. Been testing iCam for a few hours, it's capturing tons of motion events (150+ now) but I've received zero notification that motion has been detected. Since this is an important part of this purpose of this app (for me, as I'm using it as part of our home security system), I'd really appreciated one of the devs assisting with this issue?
