as far as i know you still can't do this with icam source, although it's been a promised feature since like 2009, (and i bought it on said promise) Although you can stitch the jpgs together.

Any updates to why this can't happen from SKJM support?

1. Recording in video formats has been requested in the past and is currently on our list of potential features to implement in the future. Unfortunately, we do not have any immediate plans to release this particular feature.

If you require a video file of a motion recording, there are many video authoring programs available to create video files from a set of JPEG images. 

On Mac computers, you can use the iMovie application. A forum user posted instructions for creating videos using iMovie here: http://skjm.com/forum/index.php?topic=641.0

On Windows, you can use the Movie Maker application.  There are several tutorials available if you search Google for "movie maker import jpg tutorial"  Here are links to a couple of them:

2. What are the Brand/Models of the cameras you are running?

Currently, the only wireless camera that iCamSource (version 2.2.5) has audio support for are certain models of Airlink and Foscam cameras.  All other wireless cameras, that output MJPEG or JPEG formatted data over HTTP, have video-only support in iCamSource (no audio). Audio support for the Airlink models is discussed here: http://skjm.com/forum/index.php?topic=1416.0

3. You can adjust the sensitivity of Motion Detection in iCamSource>Motion Detection tab using the "Less Sensitive"/"More Sensitive" slider. - http://skjm.com/icam/help/motion_detection.php

hello,

Video recoding using movie maker defeat the propose of this app because if someone came to my house and grab my pc then i wont have prof of balgery in first place. the idea to use icam is to be able to recod and save snap shots or videos into Google drive or any other cloud drive.

The webcam i have are small usb webcam with HD video and sound built in to it .. the sound was working fine but stop working .. it could be because of the driver for sound in video graphic card

i salove my problem of video recoding temprely by using a diffrent app in my laptop that recods and save videos into my google drive just like icam does

Thank you
