camera names on notifications
« on: January 27, 2013, 11:27:25 PM »
 Not sure if this has been requested in the past or if it's even possible. But it would be super awesome if you could name each camera (living room, front porch, back door) and when there is motion detected, sending a notification to my iPhone, it would tell me which camera is detecting motion. My front porch gets notifications fairly often in the evenings if someone is driving down the alley with their headlights on. If I'm still at work, I generally wouldn't check iCam if I knew it was that camera sending me the notifications. I know I could turn it off or do other things, but it would be helpful if the notifications told me which camera was prompting them.

When you select the camera in iCamSource, you can rename it in the Description bar, just above the preview window.

Notifications will tell which camera has been "activated."

More information about Motion Detection can be found in the Motion Detection section of the iCam Support Pages here: http://skjm.com/icam/help/motion_detection.php

Please let us know if you have any further questions.
