I found this by searching the forum for "icamweb refresh." Hope it helps:



You can try connecting to your iCamSource from a computer web browser using iCamWeb (http://skjm.com/icam/web/) but it is limited to 1 fps by default.

You can adjust the limit by adding &fps=5 to the URL to up the limit to 5 fps. You should see at least a couple of frames per second in iCamWeb. You can also try to connect from the same computer to remove the networking variable and see how things look then.

Yeah, thats it! Thanks. But unfortunately it's not working. Put fps=1 or 5 or 10 or?? nothing matters, the result is always the same. And on all settings my 4 cams are displayed fine for few minutes, then one or two of them freezes the image, the other two are still running. Terrible!

It is possible the computer is struggling with 4 cameras running. Please try running the iCamSource with just one camera (delete the others from your cameras list.) If it works, we will continue adding cameras back on to your cameras list.

Also, what is the the % CPU usage of the iCamSource application?
