Will iCamSource 2.9 work with Windows 11 Pro?

I'm currently using Windows 7 Pro with IcamSource 2.9 and saving images to Dropbox. I was informed by Dropbox that they will be ending support for Window 7, 8 and 8.1 on October 22, 2024 and will cease functionality May 2025.

I missed the window of opportunity of upgrading to Windows 10 for free and cannot upgrade directly to Windows 11. I'm considering getting another desktop with Windows 11 and would like IcamSource 2.9 to work as I have 9 cameras using the program.

Thanks.

Yes, the iCamSource 2.9 is also compatible with Windows 11. 👍

95% of cameras wont work with iCam because they no longer support MJPEG.
iCamPro you have a chance but, even then, you have to go out of your way to look for the RTSP version of it

iCam Support / Using a TP Link indoor wifi camera with icam

« Last post by SeanJ on November 12, 2023, 04:29:49 PM »

I'm a long time user of icam but have never used a wifi camera and wondered if i should be confident of using something like the TP Link wifi camera below or should i be aware of any pitfalls with wifi cameras with icam these days (hopefully not .
 Any help or pointers greatly apreciated.

Network / IP Camera Compatibility / 2023 MJPEG Camera Suggestions?

« Last post by Naveed on October 13, 2023, 05:18:37 PM »

Its getting harder and harder to find MJPEG cameras so im wondering if anyone has any suggestions for cameras in 2023 that still support MJPEG streams?

Im still using dlink cameras I purchased years ago but would like to upgrade to cameras with better night vision and better quality overall like the Wyze cameras.

Can iCamSourcePro run both MJPEG and RTSP streams at the same time? So basically the functionality of iCamSource in iCamSourcePro so I dont have to pay for two different softwares every month

All working fine again.

Maybe an issue with the proxy thing?

Fixed itself because all the LTE connections are going through again

I have cameras on 3 different networks. 2 on Shaw and 1 on Telus
Theres 9 cameras in total + any mobile ones I throw in here and there

When Im connected to wifi, all of the Wifi connected cams (iCamsource on PCs) connect fine

When I switch to LTE (using Telus or Fido network) only 3 out of the 7 cameras show up. Very random as to which ones do and dont  cause it changes every time I refresh.

When it comes to iCamsource on mobile, if the device running the server is connected to wifi, the viewer device connects fine. When you switch the server device to LTE, the viewer device no longer connects.

How many cameras are you using? Are you running the iCamSource on a Mac or Windows PC, or the iCamSource Mobile on other iOS devices? (Or a combination of both?)

Mobile carriers don't assign devices external IP addresses, so they don't really support running devices that accept incoming connections. Port forwarding / auto-config router isn't really an option for any LTE-connected iCamSource Mobiles either, so LTE-to-LTE will likely not work without utilizing the iCam Proxy service: https://skjm.com/icam/help/proxy.php

Have you tried restarting your devices and router / modem?

When all devices are on the same local WiFi network, are you able to connect successfully?
