iCamsource features & Evocam features combined = the best solution

[peterdg]

Hello,
As a Axis certified engineer i have seen several camera software suites.
I realy need to say that on Mac i use for the moment a combination of both programs
ICamsource for notification to my iPhone and Evocam for real recording to a internal and external FTP server
It would be great if Icamsource can combine the features of Evocam in there product
for example
add a specified date & time field in the view
add a logo/image to a view
add e-mail of x images to specified e-mail adresses
storage of local/external images / video select where the storage can done and use for example %cameraname%+%date% to the folder / file name
lots of people want to storage the images/video on another drive
add/change recording limit (default 500Mb) to specified number of days (7 days) (30 days) ....

for the iCamsource client (iPhone) add the posibility of more than one username&password to view
for example 2 clients of difrent locations need now to use the same userid and paswoord to been seen on 1 iPhone / iPad
it would be nice to have the solution to add more than one user.

And last but not least need to Say iCamsource is the software i was looking to get notified on my iPhone/iPad
i have running iCamsource her at home on 3 iMac's 1 MacMini server 2 iPhones and 1 iPad and 1 iPod touch with a Axis 240Q , 4x M1031W ,1x M7001 encoder and it run smootley ;-)

Thank you for the great suggestions. We well add them to our list of potential features to implement in the future. Also, thank you for the great feedback.

Petertg, I saw that you said you are using an AXIS 240Q with icamsource. does it work well? I have a few CCTV cameras already installed at home and I am looking for a way to get them into icamsource.  Will this get the job done?

Sorry for resurrecting a year old post, I am just trying like mad to find a solution.
Thanks for any help!

In case Peterdg doesn't respond, you might consider buying some IP cameras (such as the LOFTEK CXS-2200) instead of buying a hardware encoder. You could buy 4 or 5 LOFTEK CXS-2200's (around $67/each), which have pan/tilt, audio, and night vision (all works in iCam), for the price of the AXIS 240Q. If the AXIS 240Q hardware craps out on you, all of your cameras will stop working. The frame rate of the IP cameras will be higher than through the AXIS 240Q, as well. Granted, that frame rate increase won't do anything for you in iCam, but you could use another software program to record at a higher rate. Of course, I don't know how much money you have sunk into your existing CCTV cameras, nor their quality, so maybe this isn't a good option for you.

Additionally, I'm following the directions here (http://foscam.us/forum/poe-diy-any-distance-2-00-in-parts-t2077.html) to change the cameras to POE devices so I can run a CAT5e cable to each camera, which will take care the data and power. If you consider replacing wired CCTV cameras with IP cameras, you can tie CAT5/6 to one end of the CCTV cable and just pull it through to replace it with CAT5/6. Just some ideas!
