iCam continues to run but camera shuts down
« on: January 16, 2012, 11:37:59 AM »
I run iCam at home with one camera (Airlink101 AICN747W).  It is very intermittent.  When it works, I love it!  We use it as a baby monitor.  The problem is that It never continuously stays on.  I have to go back to the computer hit "Stop"
and then "Start" for it to begin working again.  This happens multiple times through the night.

I am using the latest version which I confirmed, and Windows 7 machine.

We are about to purchase an additional camera but are hesitant because of this. 

Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You only have one camera in your setup? Have you tried enabling the "auto-config router" feature in icamsource, and enabling uPNP in your router settings? In your camera's configuration page, do you have the frame rate set to 5fps or so? Also, are you running the latest version of icamsource? I think someone had a similar issue with yours a couple of weeks ago...and I think they released a beta version of icamsource for that person. You might read back in the forum 2-3 weeks or so and see if you can find it...or I'm sure the SKJM guys will respond soon.

Thanks for the info.  I am using the latest version of iCam Source but will check the other items you listed this evening.

I am having the exact same problem. I can't really see how it would be a router problem as it connects fine the camera just won't stay on. Any support would be appreciated!

Oh, I am using a cam that is built into my viewsonic monitor.

And I am special. Just realized I had my monitor, which has my webcam built into it set to go to sleep at 10min. Let me turn that off and try again. :)
