Works for a few hours and then "out of memory"
« on: August 21, 2017, 03:41:53 PM »
I recently changed my Anti-Virus software from MS Essentials to Bitdefender and now I seem to have a problem with Icam, though it may be a coincidence.  I set Icam as an allowed application and it does work, but a few hours after I start Icam Source, a big red "X" appears over the camera window and an error displays that generally says:  Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. ... System.OutOfMemoryException:  Out of memory".

When I first installed Bitdefender I got a message that said that there was an update for Icam so I installed 2.9
I left my home for the day and came back to the above message so I uninstalled 2.9 and reinstalled 2.8 (Icam software) in case that was the issue.
Then I unticked the "Auto-Start" box and tried again.
Two hours later, same error message.
I even adjusted my Nvidia settings to have Icam run through my graphics card in case that would help.  Nope.  Same message.
Today I unticked the "Auto-Config Router" and it stayed on for 4 hours, but I came home to the the same "Out of Memory" error.
Any idea what might be causing this issue?  I've been using Icam for a few years now and I really like it for keeping an eye on my home and rabbits.
Thanks for any help.

How many cameras do you currently have connected to the iCamSource, and are they USB or network cameras?

It does seem odd that a change in anti-virus software would be the cause of the issue. Since it seems to occur pretty consistently, could you please email a screenshot of the error message that you are seeing to support@skjm.com? Please reference this forum thread in your email.
