You guessed right I am using Windows. As for adding presets that would be nice, but the on off for night vision would be awesome as well. Curious that you never list the 777 as a compatible camera, is there a reason?
This is insane! Working great, no crashes, sound works and my SkyIPCam 777w from Airlink rotates! Only issue I had was in the initial setup. I was ready to write a not so good response because the iCamSource kept crashing over and over again. Uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted, etc, etc but when I deleted all the cameras and set them all back up it started working perfectly. Hope this helps someone else.
Today I was playing iFarkle with my friend and she rolled on her first roll: 4 sixes and 2 fours. I'm not sure of my rules but I believe that should only be 1200 Points. Instead it let her select the two fours and treat the hand as three pairs and give her 1500 points. Worse yet she was able to roll all six dice again.
I used to have saved to my internet favorites a link to a page SKJM had where you could put in the ip address of the camera and it would show all the different possible address combinations and which one's provided a picture. I found that quite useful and when I help friends setup their iCam, I don't always have that address with me. Could you please post that on either your support page or as you did with the help button on iCamSource?
Okay, I've spent some time on this now. I've tried this same scenario now on three different computers all with the same result. iCamSource crashes after a period of time if it cannot connect to one of the cameras.
@Anthony I even tried a static IP address for all the cameras and had one disconnected. I got the same result. Oh and yes the cameras were Port Forwarded.
@Everyone I do love the app. It is great especially for the price. You are the one that can make it expensive. Yes that would be me with 4 network cameras and two usb cameras.
port forwarding is a must for iCam. I get my best results when I forward the ports of all my cameras and have less issues. I don't use static IP because i've run into other issues (a dog with another flea). However I do stay on top of any changes to the IP address although that is extremely rare. My cameras are all on different ports as well so that I can link to them other than iCam. The only time iCam crashes is when I specifically cannot hookup to a camera that is setup with in iCamSource. I tested it today and it crashed as well. I even tested by just unplugging one of my ip cameras and running Source. Interestingly enough it didn't crash until i started viewing the other cameras and their motion events. It doesn't crash right away it does take some time (a few hours). If you've tested this and haven't seen the same issue I find that odd. I will just endeavour to make sure all my cameras don't lose connection.
Windows PC running Windows Vista. It also doesn't crash right away. I will test it again tomorrow. What usually happens is that it connects to all the other cameras and I can connect to it remotely (3G) and view motion detections. After a few hours or upwards of a day, the iCamSource crashes. This has happened when I have been gone for a few days. The interesting thing to me is that it never crashes if all the cameras are connected.
I've tried both ways to assign or obtain an ip address automatically. The point is not that I lose connection when I reset the modem, but that iCamSource crashes if it cannot connect to the camera. Sometimes due to a thunderstorm a power outage occurs and I have iCamSource restart automatically with the reboot or I can remotely restart it through an app that gains me access to my computer. Maybe they can recreate the circumstances and see if it happens as well.
Every once in a while my iCamSource crashes. It is rare, but I think I've determined what it is that causes this... I reset my router by turning off the power from time to time. My Airlink camera doesn't always connect back to the router unless I cycle it's power as well. When the camera is not linked and the iCamSource does not connect, the error occurs, Your network camera cannot be connected to....When this occurs the iCamSource will crash at some point. I've tested this several times now and it happens everytime. If all the cameras are linked with no errors it will not crash. Is there a way to improve the stability even if a camera cannot connect for some reason?
For iPhone I use the JumiOne APP. I then can control the mouse, music players, use the keyboard, the game controller and open the iCamSource remotely anytime. For that matter I use it to check on my weather station as well. The free versions are quite good, but I bought the Mouse App to control the computer while magnified. Oh and I control all the computers int my house with it as well.
I wasn't sure if anyone was seeing the same issue, if it is even a real issue. When I have auto-start checked and I open iCamSource, it says Connecting..... If I stop it and restart it, iCamSource then says Connect to Server. This happens everytime. There doesn't ever seem to be any issues when it just says Connecting....., but was wondering if it something in my setup.
Interesting....I have seen it now with both options. Sometimes with an option of just Back and sometimes with both Back and Front. It appears that even if I am connected with Icam and the preview is showing correct IP and Port...sometimes under the Options Tab it says Attempting to bind to port.... This is when I have the selection of both cameras. I will attempt to change the port number and I will send you a picture through your support e-mail.

no it's all legal. I subscribe through AT&T as my wireless carrier. I reboot normally once a week as well.
