iCam Support / Re: iCamSource.exe has stopped working...

I have the same problem. I have tried the solutions here to no avail. I managed to run iCamSource on another machine -- the camera is wireless, but it is far from a good solution because the usb camera is attached to my Windows 7 64-bit machine. I must say I have had endless problems, and not just with iCamSource, since the most recent Windows auto-update.

Well, I seem to be getting closer. I can see the cameras at my office when I am on the office wireless network, but get an error message about not being able to connect to one or more cameras. Same at home, I can see the home cameras on the home wireless network. I can't see all 4 however. I used the same username and password for both iCamsource. Is there something special I must do to be able to view all cameras, home and office, at once on my iphone?

Still some potential issues with iCamsource shutting down for no apparent reason from time to time.

I am using the version 2 beta, for the ability to schedule motion detection.

I think the router is okay, as I can connect locally and at my office using the iPhone on a wireless connection. Also I can connect locally using Safari, Google Chrome and IE, just not FireFox which identifies the one source, but never puts up the viewer window. As such, I don't think it is a router configuration issue or a software firewall issue. I will work some more with the 3Gs connection. I spend a lot of time in range of either of the two wireless routers, so I must remember to try the connection over the iPhone when I am out of range of the routers.

Getting closer. It seems the problem with iCamWeb is with FireFox. I was able to connect locally (on my home office network) using IE. Is there something that needs to be done with FireFox to get it to work with iCamWeb?

Thanks. I think I have that solved, although sometimes the iCamSource software seems to shut down for no apparent reason. iCam works fine on my local wireless network and on my wireless network at my office. I still have trouble getting it to work on the 3Gs network. Says it can't find the source. Also, still can't get iCamWeb to work anywhere. It can't be my routers, because I can connect wirelessly (although it could be a problem if I am away from home on a hotel wireless system.) I have opened the software ports on my computers, but they require a program to associate with the opened ports and I'm not sure what to use for iCamWeb. Browser? Tried this but still no image. Seems to run the java applet (seemed to download okay, including update to java itself.) What to do?

I am a brand new user of this software, currently trying the beta (to be able to limit the times when the motion sensor sends notifications.) This may be an unavoidable problem, but there must be a workaround. The iCam software reports no source available from time to time. To the best of my knowledge, it seems to coincide with the computer iCamSource is installed on going to "sleep." I am using a wireless camera. I suppose if it was a usb camera, the computer could somehow be set to wake on activity from the usb port. Am I correct in my analysis of the cause? How to fix? (Clearly, the person who caught the thieves while he was on vacation was able to access the camera even after the house had been quiet for some time.)
