Hello, I installed icamsource on my computer and have had no luck on getting my wireless cameras to connect. I've tried all the URLs listed in the troubleshooting sections and don't know what to do next. I have the following equipment:

Uverse Gateway/Router i38GH

4 D-link 930L wireless cameras
1 FoScam FI8918W wireless camera

I have the Dlink & Foscam software on my computer and they both work with the cameras. I also have the iPhone apps for Dlink and Foscam they also work correctly. I thought it would be nice to have all the cameras in one app. I haven't downloaded the iphone app yet as I want to make sure I have the icamsource working first. 

After trying to connect the first few times, I then created ports for each camera on my router and still can't connect to icamsource.

The messages I receive are; UPnP May Not Be Enabled (I can't find any settings on the router for this) and "your network IP camera cannot be connected to".....

Any thoughts?

thanks

If the MJPEG or JPEG URL isn't something that can be found by searching around with Google or by contacting their support, we actually have another solution available, although it is currently in its very preliminary stages, and that is: http://skjm.com/icam/mjpeg_test.php

When you enter the camera's IP address and port into that web page, it will attempt to connect to the camera using all of the common MJPEG and JPEG URLs that we are aware of. If any of the URLs produce an image, then that is the URL to use in iCamSource.

If your camera requires a login and password, you can enter them in that webpage right before the address : login:password@Camera_address



If you already have port forwarding configured on your router, I would like to try and confirm that your port forwarding is functioning as we expect it to. If you visit this link in your computer's web browser: http://portchecker.net/udp.php?p=12001

... it will open a webpage that contains a Java Applet in it (similar to iCamWeb) that will be able to listen on port 12000 for a UDP packet to be sent from a server on the Internet to your computer.

If your port forwarding is functioning correctly then you should see a message saying that the port is "open." If it is not functioning correctly, it should say that it is blocked.

Also, please send me a screenshot of your router's port forwarding configuration to support@skjm.com, so we can verify the settings. Please reference this post and your username in your email.

Ok, I'm not using UDP port 12000s, but ports 8090s. When I installed my foscam camera, that is what they recommended, so I used the 8090s for all the cameras. Also, foscam advised using my internet IP, and not the local IP assigned by the router (for the iphone app). Should I be using the UDP 12000s? Is that what my problem could be?

btw, how did that payday loan ad get in here?

[SKJM Support]

The 8090s are the IP camera ports. You need to forward the iCamSource ports, 12000-12100.

Please send a screenshot of your router's port forwarding configuration and a screenshot of the iCamSource while it is running to support@skjm.com, so we can verify the settings.

Remember to please reference this post and your username in your email.

even newer newbie. I'm trying to setup 2 or more foscam cameras...where in the foscam setup do you assign ports to each camera. the first camera is fine with the Internet URL and port 80 but how do I find the URL for the second cam or assign it a different port?
