iCam Pro Support / Re: iCamSource Pro 1.3.4 BETA Released with H.264/MPEG-4 Support

« Last post by joxbshot2873 on December 14, 2020, 10:59:08 PM »

Since I updated to this, I am no longer able to login to my Mac's iCamSource Pro via my iCam Pro App.  Note: Should I be using iCamSource Pro App instead?  I had no idea I was using iCam Pro App all these times.. does this matter at all though?  And when I looked into the iCamSource Pro App.. it would cost $6. to get?  Shouldn't this be free download since I have purchased and using iCamSource Pro for many years now. 

Error Message:  No Lan Sources Found
But my Mac's iCamSource Pro is up and running no problem.
Login and pw are all matched both Mac and iCam Pro App.

Please kindly advice for the right fix.
Thanks!

iCam Support / Viewing several icam cameras on a PC

« Last post by SeanJ on October 05, 2020, 10:09:04 AM »

I'm a long time user of icam and realise the monitoring of it is provided by Android or Apple pad/mobile devices if you want a multi camer view but I don't have that option in the current setup unfortunately. I'm currently using VNC to connect with my cameras and grouping the instances of vnc viewer on a pc monitor (not ideal). I'm asking does anyone know if I could be doing this a better way? Im trying to view 3 icam sources on a single PC essentially. 

thanks. Sean

iCam Pro Support / Re: Disappointed

What is the brand and model of network IP camera are you attempting to connect the iCamSource Pro to, to then view with iCam Pro? Does it support JPEG or MJPEG video streaming?

Here is the section of our iCam Pro Help pages about getting setup with a network IP camera: https://skjm.com/icampro/help/#ethernetwifi

I purchased both iCam Pro and iCamSource Pro and considering how much they cost I expected things to just work out of the box but disappointingly enough all I am getting on both iCam Pro on a PC and iCam Pro on a my iPhone when trying to find the iCamSource Pro running on second iPhone is "Your network IP camera could not be connected to ...."
I am exploring my options for a refund request as we speak.

iCam Pro Support / Re: iCamSource Pro 1.3.4 BETA Released with H.264/MPEG-4 Support

We developed RTSP support with the Amcrest IP2M-841B ProHD 1080P camera, including PTZ support. It is odd that the same functionality doesn't appear to work for the IP3M-941 that you are using, as it should be standard. I am assuming that Amcrest has not been consistent with their interface, unfortunately.

As for the talkback functionality, yes, the audio does go back to the computer running the iCamSource Pro. We do not yet support talkback audio going back to the IP camera at this time.

Hi - thanks for the prompt fix on the crashing! That indeed worked.

PTZ is not working on the IP3M-941 using the rtsp API
The Console shows "Unknown Audio Codec:AAC" on that camera as well. I changed the Audio Encoding on the Camera to G.711A and that error went away. The talk-back feature talks back to the iCamSource Pro server, not the camera. That isn't what I expected. The microphone from the camera does seem to be audible on the Icam Pro client.

Thanks again !

Do you have a list of cameras that are known to work with the H.264, PTZ and Audio?

iCam Support / Re: Icam for Android Huawei Camera -> Macbook OSX -> OBS

Our iCam application is meant to allow users to view their computer webcam remotely from their mobile device, as a sort of low-cost alternative to a security system. It is not meant to turn a mobile device into the equivalent of a USB webcam to connect to a computer.

I purchased 2 new Amcrest cameras. The IP3m-941W is working fine with the current version of iCam Source Pro Beta 1.3.4.7. The second camera, model IP3M-956EB causes an immediate crash with the access url of

RTSP:// ipadress

I am able to connect to this camera from the web browser. If I open ipaddess/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi in my browser I do indeed see the snapshot. With this URL in iCam Source Pro, i receive 401 - authentication failure.

I've also tried ipaddress /axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi as suggested in the list of Amcrest URL posted in an earlier post (ispy), but that says 404 Not Found from the browser

I'll upload the crashlog to support

Any advice is appreciated - thanks

« Last post by msg_boi on July 31, 2020, 11:36:07 PM »

Hi there, I want to use my Huawei mate 10 pro Android phone as a webcam and connect it to my macbook which is running OS Sierra then into OBS software to live stream on twitch. 

I got a few questions
1) Which Android app do I purchase? Icam Pro or Icam?
2) Does it support 4k resolution?
3) Can I use USB to reduce latency and will it show up on OBS?

thanks in advance for all the help.
