Naming Your Cameras
« on: November 09, 2010, 08:54:09 AM »
I am running iCam Source on 2 different computers, each with a single camera.  I can view the cameras just fine, and while it is not an issue on the Android app, since names don't show for each camera, on the iPad app that I bought as well, it actually shows the label 'camera' underneath each view.

Is there a way via iCam Source to name the instance of the camera, so that when I am viewing on the iPad, instead of seeing 'camera' twice under each view, one can say, for example, 'living room', and the other 'den'?

Thanks.

Stefan

Yes, if you look above the video preview in the iCamSource Preferences window you will see an edit box where you can rename the camera's description: http://skjm.com/icam/help/#setup

Thanks. Not sure how I missed it.  Though, I must say, it is explicitly more obvious in the iOS version you linked to as compared to the Windows-7 one...

New to the icam fans, started using it today and what a great product!
Tried to rename my cameras, but in the preference view the name that was automatically given is greyed out, I can not edit it?
How can I overcome this?

Thanks!
Johan

Just click the Stop button to stop the iCamSource first. :)
