REQUEST: Area Motion Detection
« on: August 30, 2010, 04:00:09 PM »
I would like to see a feature added to iCam that allows motion to be detected within a section of the camera's view. You would be able to drag a box corresponding with the area you wish motion to be detected in. This would be really helpful in removing false motion alarms.

Thanks for the suggestion.  Other users have requested the ability to select the motion detection area, and it is on our list of potential feature to add to iCam in the future.

Great! Any news on when iCam 2.0 will be available? Are there any more spots for beta testers, in the meantime?

iCam 2.0 was just submitted to Apple for approval.  Hopefully it will be available on the Appstore within the next couple weeks.

A user-defined motion detection area is the final remaining feature I'm looking for from iCam source! I hope you can implement it soon! (oh, and source deinterlace filter and video file export)  ;)

I'm looking forward to the next release! Thanks!

Another vote for this, I hope this gets put in, soon, please. Front yard cam next to useless because of wind tree movement, kids playing under swing under tree, etc. Still have to run icam with my other software which does allows me to pixel out via of a mask anything that moves. Puts a real load on the Mac. :-[ Usually only turn on iCam when traveling because of this.  In the house, cat sets it off. Could mask most of the floor out as it points to my front door/windows to avoid this problem. Pointing the cam up, i.e. catching a lot of ceiling helps, but then doesn't allow me to see the whole living room/front door.

Only missing feature for me at the moment. Would be a great addition.
