ICam stopped working properly
« on: September 07, 2022, 06:58:29 PM »
Icam has stopped working properly for the last two days for me

Icamsource on any phone Ive tried on wont load anything

Some cams are only loading on wifi and some cams are only loading on LTE, other cams like when using icamsource on the phone wont connect on LTE at all anymor regardless of carrier Ive tried everything to fix it but I think its an iCam issue over phone/network issue this time


Edit day 3:
Looks like I had a similar issue a little bit ago and just tested out what was on my previous  thread but nothing helped. I turned on auto config router on my phone but nothing happened.

I can see half my cameras when connected on LTE and on Wifi I can see the other half.

When it comes to icamsource mobile, regardless of if Im on LTE or WIFI, the camera doesnt show up. Just a spot for it does but it never connects.

UPNP shows success.

Ive had to switch to Alfred for now on my mobile devices as the issue is still ongoing.

Connecting from a device on LTE to another device on LTE isnt working.

Ive tried with Rogers and Telus networks and it

How many cameras are you using? Are you running the iCamSource on a Mac or Windows PC, or the iCamSource Mobile on other iOS devices? (Or a combination of both?)

Mobile carriers don't assign devices external IP addresses, so they don't really support running devices that accept incoming connections. Port forwarding / auto-config router isn't really an option for any LTE-connected iCamSource Mobiles either, so LTE-to-LTE will likely not work without utilizing the iCam Proxy service: https://skjm.com/icam/help/proxy.php

Have you tried restarting your devices and router / modem?

When all devices are on the same local WiFi network, are you able to connect successfully?

I have cameras on 3 different networks. 2 on Shaw and 1 on Telus
Theres 9 cameras in total + any mobile ones I throw in here and there

When Im connected to wifi, all of the Wifi connected cams (iCamsource on PCs) connect fine

When I switch to LTE (using Telus or Fido network) only 3 out of the 7 cameras show up. Very random as to which ones do and dont  cause it changes every time I refresh.

When it comes to iCamsource on mobile, if the device running the server is connected to wifi, the viewer device connects fine. When you switch the server device to LTE, the viewer device no longer connects.

All working fine again.

Maybe an issue with the proxy thing?

Fixed itself because all the LTE connections are going through again
