The images being sent to iCam are 427x320 because the non-retina iPhone screens are 320 pixels high.

One option to view the full-res images captured by the iCamSource is to mirror your Motion Events folder using DropBox, and then accessing the images using the iOS DropBox app.

I'd like to re-request this.  It's a shame that I purposely bought higher MP camera and then realized that can't utilize the resolution.  640 x 480 saved to my computer is not enough to get a good pic of a perp.

Stefan, can you confirm if this was corrected in latest update?  I was just looking at a file that was saved to my dropbox (currently not at home) and the file is showing Dimensions 1280x1024 (or 1.3mp) which happens to be the the max resolution of my ACTi ip camera.

With network IP cameras the iCamSource has always saved the original-sized images to the computer. This is because the iCamSource has no control over what sized images are sent to it from the camera.

The images are resized when they are sent from the iCamSource to iCam, but your computer will still have the full-sized images. (From network IP cameras.)
