Bad JPEG engine in firmware?

[LabradorNYC]

I've got a script that is relaunching icam when it quits as a stop-gap (you'll see the reference to sleeping 10 seconds before restart).

There are some sites that mention this as an issue with the Foscam 8918W but I'm not running one of those. Thoughts?

What is the Brand/Model of the camera you are running? If it is a network IP camera, does it have the latest firmware?

[LabradorNYC]

emailed Sharx about it. Was hoping you would confirm that as the route to take.

Off Topic: Any way to skip to the end of a motion event sequence? Browsing on my iPhone to the end of a 300+ image sequence for a motion even isn't ideal. A skip to end button might be helpful.

[SKJM Support]

It you are not sure whether or not you have the latest firmware for your camera, than yes, it is a good idea to contact the manufacture .


The ability to skip to the end of a Motion Event sequence has been requested in the past and is currently on our list of potential features to implement in the future.
