Network / IP Camera Compatibility / Re: Trendnet TV-IP320PI Outdoor IP Camera - need video url for mjpeg

« Last post by rjgvt on July 15, 2022, 03:07:21 PM »

Update:

Updated iCamsource on my desktop computer to 2.9. The seven cams (3 remote IP, 2 local IP, 2 local webcams) I was using on iCamsource 2.8 were functional on 2.9 without doing anything. I added the two Trendnet cameras and had a few issues after awhile with the images getting broken up. I changed the parameters for the Trendnet cams from 704x480 resolution, highest video quality and 10fps to 640x480 resolution, medium video quality and 6fps. Cams have been stable since I made the changes.

Long time since I posted and not sure that anyone is monitoring this forum but here goes:

I ignored the two Trendnet TV-IP320PI cameras for a long time since I couldn't get them to work on iCamsource with Digest Authentication. Digest Authentication was added with 2.8.5.2. My Trendnet cameras needed a firmware update for security reasons. I finally got around to working on that yesterday and today. One camera is mounted indoors and one is outside. After doing the firmware update with both cameras, both cameras were inoperative.

I opened a help desk support ticket with Trendnet and they gave me a procedure to reset the cams. There is a rest button on the back of the cameras and need to hold the reset button for over 15 seconds while plugging in the power to the cam. I did the indoor cam reset yesterday and it was back to default. I was able to get it configured and see the cam image with a host domain on IpCamViewer app on my phone. I did the same to the outdoor cam this morning. Had to get my GF to plug in the power cable indoors while I was on a ladder outside resetting the cam. Both cams are now functional.

I downloaded iCamsource 2.9 to my laptop for testing purposes, separate from the computer that runs iCamsource 2.8 for local and remote cameras. I added both Trendnet IP cameras with Digest Authentication enabled and had images for both cameras. I used the following url:

http://hostdomain:port/Streaming/Channels/1/httpPreview

This is one of a 1000 urls that I tried in the beginning of this post. I'll be updating iCamsource on my desktop to 2.9 and add the two Trendnet cams.

I'm happy that I finally got it all working and thanks to SKJM for adding the features that made it happen.

iCam Pro Support / Re: iCam Source works, iCam Source Pro does not

Yes, iCam and iCam Pro are not compatible with each other, so if you are using iCam with the iCamSource, then you would want to use iCamSource Mobile, not the iCamSource Pro Mobile. (Essentially the apps that work together have the same app icons.)

If you purchased the incorrect app, you can ask Apple for a refund: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084

iCam Pro Support / Re: iCam Source works, iCam Source Pro does not

A thought:  Is there any chance this is because I bought iCamSource Pro instead of iCamSource?  Do they use different databases and connections?  If so, that's rather non-intuitive, IMHO.  Did I waste $5 on a purchase I now can't use?

iCam Pro Support / iCam Source works, iCam Source Pro does not

« Last post by ktappe on February 16, 2022, 11:27:13 AM »

I've been using iCam Source for years to repurpose an old MacBook into a webcam. 

I recently bought iCam Source Pro for an old iPad to do the same with it.

Problem is, the latter doesn't show up as a source on my iPhone.  I've quadruple-checked that I'm using the exact same username and password on both.  However, I can only view the MacBook, not the iPad. 

I tried turning off high resolution and sound in case those were the problem, but no go.  The iPad simply won't show up as a source.  What other troubleshooting can I perform to get it working?

I never got a reply but it doesn't matter anymore. I found out that webcam+ just suit my needs with live stream, permanent flash and on top on that a separate application in MacOS.
