Icam works with 3G - but not over Internet
« on: September 02, 2012, 10:29:00 PM »
Icam is a beautiful solution - thank you!

Icam works perfectly from my home network (same network that cameras are on) or using 3G (Verizon) anywhere.

It does not work, however, if I am on the Internet (maybe at a friends home, or on a hotel wireless network).  I have to 'turn off' wifi and then access Icam thru 3G. Icamweb does not work for me either - am using iPad and iPhone - neither seem to like icamweb.

Is there a simple solution to make Icam work from non-home wireless networks on my devices?

PROBLEM SOLVED

Needed to port forward each computer, found instructions on this forum and the website provided even had instructions for my BT homehub 3 (same as 2 nearly).

Now I want to add an IP camera, will be a foscam lookalike probably, any ideas? Or can I run a wireless webcam from the same imac i'm using an inbuilt cam?
