FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q : What do I need to do to setup and use iCam and iCamSource?
A : The steps are:
1) Download iCam to your Android device and the iCamSource to your computer.
2) Start the iCamSource, and choose your USB / FireWire / Built-In webcam from the Video and Audio drop-down lists. If you are connecting to an Ethernet / Wi-Fi camera, simply enter the camera's MJPEG/JPEG URL along with the camera's login and password.
3) Enter a Login and Password of your choosing (no need to register or create an account, but make sure they are not easily guessed), and click the Start button. iCamSource is now setup and running.
4) Start iCam on your Android device and enter the same Login and Password from Step 3.
5) Tap Done. iCam is now setup and running, and should connect to the iCamSource running on your computer.
Tap a video thumbnail to Zoom In, press Back to Zoom Out.
Repeat Steps 2 & 3 for any additional computers and Steps 4 & 5 for any additional Android devices, being sure to use the same Login and Password for all of them.
Visit the "Getting Started" section of the iCam Help pages for more information: http://skjm.com/icam/help/
Q : Do I have to configure my firewall or router or know what my IP address is to use iCam?
A : Nope. :)
In most situations, things should "just work" unless your network is particularly complex or restricted.
If you do have problems getting things to work, please be sure to either Contact Support or visit the Discussion Forum.
Q : Does this work if iCam is connected via EDGE or 3G or a different WiFi network than the iCamSource?
A : Yes.
Q : What types of cameras does the iCamSource support?
A : The iCamSource currently supports any Built-In, FireWire or USB webcam supported by Windows XP/Vista or OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and later. It also supports FireWire-connected DV cameras on OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and later. Video-only support is also available for most MJPEG/JPEG-compatible WiFi and Ethernet network IP webcams. MPEG-4 and h.264 devices are not supported.
Q : Is iCam "peer-to-peer" or are the audio & video sent through your servers?
A : Yes, iCam is a "peer-to-peer" application. The iCamSource sends its audio & video directly to iCam, and nothing is ever sent through our servers.
Q : Can anyone else connect to my iCamSource and view my webcam?
A : The only way that someone can connect to your iCamSource is if they know your iCam Login and Password, just like every other account you have on the Internet. In addition, your iCam Login and Password are never sent to our servers, so your video feeds are able to be kept completely private.

The app on my galaxy s5 can never connect to the desktop server Webcam. The desktop program crashes frequently if you try any of the features, but it does say that my Webcam stream is connected to server. So that is obviously working. No matter what I do my phone can never connect to any source, whether it's on the same wifi or remote. I've done all the troubleshooting from the developers website but no luck. I just want a simple app that let's me see my Webcam when not home. Thus app does not deliver in even the most basic form. If the developer can help me get this working I'll give 5 stars, if not I'd be happy to give 2 or 3 just for a refund.

The iPhone and iPad app works great, it pops message in seconds once detect some movement. But, this android version was hardly working until I've uninstaled it and then installed back. Now its working properly again in my android too. This is a must have app for house/office surveillance.

When the app works. It's great. But when my phone app quit working I emailed for technical support and they don't really give you any help. They just want access to my home computer when it is my phone app that doesn't work. ..seems sketchy. Poor customer service as they won't directly answer the one question I have asked in all 5 emails I've sent them and they don't know how to help with their own app. Thumbs down

When I first got this app on the iPhone it worked flawlessly. No problems whatsoever. Now that I have the android version I can't connect to my camera over my data. Why? I have bought a completely useless app.

Had the iphone version which worked fine. So when I switched to android I thought I'd re-download it. But unfortunately this only works over wifi and all the control functions are missing. I will update my comment when the issues are fixed.

There are issues with connecting over 4g/3g networks. Only connects over home wifi. This corroborates other reviews for this app which mention the same problem.

Only using basic functionality, so can't speak to motion settings or notifications. I use it to point my webcam at the dog crate so I can check on the pup on my phone. Easy to setup and it lets multiple users view the stream at the same time which is also a perk!

Have had icam for long time. It worked great, using 2 cameras, over WiFi from the computer and 4g, lte on Samsung Galaxy S4. But since update to 5.0.1 the s4 I can not get it to stream at all to the phone. Says connected on the computer. At the bottom said UPnp may not be enabled. I checked the router settings and it's enabled. Went as far as forwarding ports 12000/12100. Shutting off all firewalls and still won't stream to phone. It's clear picture and fast on the computer. Since 5.0.1 update its, problems

This app won't connect on your mobile device unless you are connected to your home WiFi network! Which is stupid because the whole point of this app is to monitor while you are away! Once again... STUPID! GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK!
