iCam Support / Feature request / email push

« on: September 01, 2010, 06:17:51 AM »

Is there a way to have the motion detection push notification pushed via email?
I don't have an iPhone -- my iPod is only online via WiFi.  I do, however, have
a droid to which my email is pushed. 

Even once the android iCam is written, I'd still like to get email push
notification of motion.

I can do this using ManyCam to define a virtual webcam and use EvoCam
for the email push, but iCam is just so nice it's really the only one I
want to have running.

Regardless, thanks for such a great product!

iCam Support / recover from dropped internet access

« on: September 01, 2010, 06:13:13 AM »

First of all, this is my first post here and I am a new iCam user.  I LOVE this program!   It works so well and is so easy to use.  I've tried others but this is, by far, the easiest.

I have iCamSource running on an old MacBook Pro with OS X 10.4.11.  My internet connection is WiFi to a network provided by a Cradlepoint CTR-500.  The CTR-500 gets it's 'internet' from a USB attached WAN device (in this case, an old cell phone).  I'm in an area where this is the most economical choice, fwiw.

Anyhow, this works great, providing exactly what I need.

However, if the 'internet' goes down (for instance, the cell phone loses it's weak signal) or the power goes out (which power cycles the CTR-500 but not the MacBook Pro, since it has a battery) my iCam viewer loses the feed.

No amount of restarting iCam will get it back.

The only way I have found so far to recover from the loss of internet access is to physically stop & restart iCamSource.

Is there a way to have iCamSource / iCam recover from this loss automatically?

Thanks!
