using icamsource mobile
« on: December 06, 2013, 04:39:21 PM »
Hi, I have an idea using icam/icamsource mobile with ipad/iphone to establish video/audio communication. So let see if this works:
1. install both icam AND icamsource mobile on both iphone and ipad.
2. set all up with same username and p.w.
3. separate iphone and ipad to different locations (with two different users) and start both icamsource mobile
4. turn on both icam --> will both iphone and ipad show two camera views (self and the other)?
5. if "yes" to question 4, then each user can zoom in the other camera view and start to talk to each other.

Will this work? Let us know.

p.s. 1. assume can also install/use icamsource on mac/pc
2. know that same thing can be achieved by using skype with iphone/ipad.

iOS devices won't let you run two apps at once, so you won't be able to run iCam and iCamSource Mobile simultaneously.

I thought ios (at least ios7) could run multi-task at same time. First, run icamsource mobile and put it in background, then open icam to view. No?  Too bad.

ios7 can, but not like that. It definitely can't run a camera in the background either. :/
