Finding URL

[Dipesh]

i have paid for the app on my iphone and downloaded it to my windows Vista computer. I am trying to view my webcam over my 3G network. how can i do this? where do i go to find my webcam URL if this is needed. I have a built in webcam and an external one but i am not sure on how to use the software over the 3G netowrk.

How to to setup and use iCam and the iCamSource :

1. Download iCam to your iPhone or iPod touch and the iCamSource to your computer.
2. Start the iCamSource, and choose your USB / FireWire / Built-In webcam from the Video and Audio drop-down lists. If you are connecting to an Ethernet / Wi-Fi camera, simply enter the camera's MJPEG/JPEG URL along with the camera's login and password.
3. Enter an iCam Login and Password of your choosing (no need to register or create an account), and click the Start button. The iCamSource is now setup and running.
4. Start iCam on your iPhone or iPod touch, and enter the same iCam Login and Password from Step 3.
5. Tap Done. iCam is now setup and running, and should connect to the iCamSource running on your computer.

Tap a video thumbnail to Zoom In, and Double-Tap to Zoom Out.

Repeat Steps 2 & 3 for any additional computers and Steps 4 & 5 for any additional iPhones or iPod touches, being sure to use the same Login and Password for all of them.

i am trying to connect using 3G. the software works fine when i am connecting via wi-fi but i am not sure how i would connect via 3g on my iphone. When i switch to 3G i get a message saying ' one or more of the icamsources returned by the iCam Broker Server could not be connected to'. i would be grateful if you could tell me how i would connect using 3G. the method that you said in your messaged worked fine when i connected via wi-fi.

You also said i would need to enter the MPEG/JPEG url. i have an intergrated webcam. Where would i find this information.
thankyou.

You would only need to use the MJPEG/JPEG URL if you had a wireless or ethernet network camera. Since you have a Built-In camera, you should choose it from the USB / FireWire / Built-In drop-down list.

If things are working well for you over WiFi but you are receiving the Source Connection Error when connecting via 3G, then if you could go to http://whatismyipaddress.com/ from the computer running the iCamSource and e-mail support@skjm.com what it says your external IP address is then we can attempt to look it up in the Broker Server logs and hopefully troubleshoot the problem.

Please be sure to include your forum name in the e-mail.
