iCamSource stops if monitor is turned off.

iCamSource stops if monitor is turned off. This happens immediately and every time.

Is this by design?
Bug?

Using latest version on both iPhone and PC.
Windows 7 running app with administrator rights.

Thanks!

The iCamSource shouldn't stop if you turn your monitor off, no.

Is the iCamSource application perhaps using a built-in webcam that is in your monitor?

Is not using built in cams, its using two USB cams, one microsoft camera and a generic one. It does it no matter wich camera I use or with both.

I can reproduce this issue constantly. All works fine, either cam or both as long as I do not turn off the monitor. Once I turn it off the last image stays frozen in and the audio still works.

Thanks

I am assuming that your webcams are plugged into your computer and not into a built-in hub as a part of your monitor?

What is the make and model of your computer?
