iCam stops working, have to reboot pc
« on: February 05, 2020, 05:54:09 PM »

Any suggestions for the following problem.

iCam has been rock solid for the years I've used it.

It seems I have to reboot every day to get the cameras to show on the iphone. 

The wifi cameras are showing on icam source that is running on the pc but not on my phone.

I reboot the  windows pc and start icam source and everything is fine, but it seems the next day I cant view the cameras on the phone.

I reboot again and everything is fine until the next day.

Any ideas? I have reinstalled icam source 2.9 and this doesn't help.

Thank you in advance

Hello??

Any suggestions?

Also after some more troubleshooting I can add the following.

This will happen on the phone being on the "home" wifi network and a wireless carrier network.

I still get notifications that motion is happening on the cameras that are not showing.

When I uncheck UPnP on Icam source, the cameras will show on the wifi home network. The UPnP checkbox
has been checked in the past and everything worked fine previously.

I do believe the firmware of the router was updated approximately a day before this started happening.

Anything to look for in the router settings, that a firmware update might of changed?

Ports are all forwarded correctly.

Virus and security software turned off temporarily to check and still not showing on mobile device

System has two windows pcs running.  One running to wired usb cameras (no problems on that pc)
Another running three wifi cameras (this is the machine with the cameras that dissappear every 24 hours)

When the problem occurs, I have two (usb cameras) showing and 3 black squares for the other inop cameras.


Thank you
