Feature request: include camera start/stop in schedule
« on: October 27, 2010, 02:12:15 AM »
Currently schedule allows to turn motion recording and notifications on/off. It would be nice to also being able to turn the camera itself on and off (basically automating clicking the big button in the lower left of the first screen) at certain times.

Also, would it be possible to turn icamsource into a service, which runs independently of the logged in user?

Thanks
Christian

Other users have requested the ability to turn the camera on and off, and we may be adding that feature to a future version of iCam. 

The ability to run as a service isn't built into the iCamSource application, but running the iCamSource as a service has been discussed by other users in this forum thread: http://skjm.com/forum/index.php?topic=447.0

Thank you, I am very much looking forward to the ability to schedule camera on/off. IMHO this is a must have feature ;)

I created a forum account to add another vote for this feature :)

I don't come and go on a schedule and sometimes leave the house forgetting to turn on iCam. It would be great to be able to use the iPhone app to turn cameras on remotely.
