ipod with camera, icam source installed.
galaxy s3, icam installed

all works great when on wifi but when i take the phone and leave the wifi, it cannot connect to the ipod/camera,,

What error message are you seeing when you are unable to connect: No Sources Found, Broker Connection Error, or Source Connection Error?

If you’re seeing the Source Connection Error, have you tried checking the Auto-Config Router checkbox in the iCamSource before clicking the Start button? If it still doesn’t work with that option enabled, please let me know what status message appears next to the Auto-Config Router checkbox in iCamSource.

Our iCam Help Troubleshooting section also contains some additional information about what to try when you are unable to connect from outside of your local WiFi network: http://skjm.com/icam/help/troubleshooting.php#icam3

Thank you for the reply!

I found the issue which was unclear in the setup process.

In order to enable the auto-config button, the source must be stopped. I had it running which grayed out the button, making it unusable. After stopping the camera, then getting back into the settings, it was able to be switched on.

Problem resolved!
