iCam Support / Confirmation of Program Functionality
« on: September 04, 2010, 05:20:31 PM »
From what I can tell, this is a great app if you run the PC application
manually at the PC and then want to check in or get notifications/video
when there is motion. However, I wanted to confirm that it is always
on and takes control of the webcam. A local user cannot use another
application that uses the webcam and it is always active (even if you
don't want to use it for motion detection). This is fine, but it does not
support other use cases if true.
- it ties up your webcam - no other webcam apps can run locally
- it cannot be turned on/off from the iPhone on as-needed basis
- the server cannot be turned on automatically at boot (auto-start really isn't what it sounds like)
you have to manually run it.
I just wanted to confirm that I have it right.
Thank.
