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.

[2013-08-14] A Google User: Piece of... I never got to make it work. support page sucks. No live support. Worst, I see no refund option!! Hell no!!! |
|
[2013-08-08] A Google User: Never updated, weird buzz on new nexus 7 Seems like the developer abandoned this app.. It's never updated and on the new nexus 7 there is a weird audio buzz. Please keep up development! Otherwise its good |
|
[2013-08-06] A Google User: No good on S3 Keeps saying source connection error. You charge so much you better make sure it works. FIX IT PEOPLE |
|
[2013-08-05] A Google User: Works really well I am going to start adding more cams but so far so good |
|
[2013-08-04] A Google User: Constantly crashing on 4g Was working. Now crashes every time, except when I'm on wifi at home. Which is obviously useless. Worked fine on my old Iphone but not my galaxy s4. Also, no sound on android! Fix it! |
|
[2013-08-03] A Google User: Updated ios but not android... Updated source and on Ipad but android now crashes a lot, waiting for new client, frustrating that it has better functionality on ios |
|
[2013-08-02] A Google User: Excellent Needs upgrading tho...starting to run really slow when accessing motion events |
|
[2013-07-31] A Google User: Refund Trying to get refund. Thought it would let me view the cams of smart phones but does not. Wanting to use smart phone can as nanny or security cam. This apparently does not do that |
|
[2013-07-27] A Google User: Crap Just keeps saying "connecting to icam sources" never connects. Want a waste. |
|
[2013-07-12] A Google User: Good app Works perfect some bugs here and there. |
|
[2013-07-10] A Google User: Worked for 5 minutes And pretty well. We'll give it a go again soon but not a good start. |
|
[2013-07-08] A Google User: So So App On a serious budget this app is OK. It is on the low end as a security system. There are free, windows and mac programs that will e-mail you when motion is detected that work just as well. The following things are missing to make it a good app for security. • The only alert is on your phone as a push. There is no way that I can find to make a different alert for this app. For security, I think this is important. • The documentation isn’t very good. • The configuration isn’t very intuitive. It took me an entire day to figure out that each camera has to be signed in separately. There is additional setup that needs to happen on the router for you to access it via the phone. No mention of that in the getting started part. Overall, this app is a great idea. It needs a few additions to be a very good security app. For now, it is better as a baby monitor. On the positive side, the ability to adjust sensitivity remotely, the push notification on your phone and the ability to relatively easily set up multiple cameras are all very good. |
|
[2013-06-23] A Google User: WiFi only Only works while on WiFi. |
|
[2013-06-08] A Google User: Great program Thanks for this app.It help me a lot |
|
[2013-06-07] A Google User: Not bad Source software crashes from time to time... and notifications for motion on phone could be more advanced/louder but a good app |
|
[2013-05-26] A Google User: Sucks! Don't buy! When it works its nice. You can only use it once then you have to reset your computer and phone to even be able to open the app. This gets old fast. I would love a refund. |
|
[2013-05-24] A Google User: Never Worked $5 down the drain |
|
[2013-05-22] A Google User: Installation as easy as going on a porn site Plain and simple a douchebag move, no link for icamsource for the PC, turns out its a labyrinth of fake download tabs like a porn site or an illegal anime site... I paid money for this and to be treated this way is enough to say f*#% you |
|
[2013-05-19] A Google User: Nexus 7 Needs an update for tablet. The record and other buttons don't appear on my nexus but do on my phone. A lot of bugs but when it works it works well. I would not depend on this for true security but if your on a budget it is really cheap to make a security system using this app. |
|
[2013-05-10] A Google User: Icamsource keeps inexplicably crashing Won't stay working for more than 12 hours ... When I'm away from home its kind of difficult to reboot the machine .... |
|
[2013-05-08] A Google User: Very helpful, works great |
|
[2013-05-07] A Google User: Not good I can't connect to my Web Cam over 4g. Wasted $5. |
|
[2013-05-07] A Google User: Doesnt work Save your money. |
|
[2013-05-05] A Google User: Good... But forever having to restart the source software on my PC, the one connected to the cam. It keeps coming up with uncaught exception. It's not that unexpected anymore. And yes, it's the latest version. Shame. Is good when it works. |
|
[2013-04-25] A Google User: Works Great! For the most part. The problems I had connecting to my other android phones were because i was not putting in the complete url. On the other hand, I could stream audio from my PC, but not my android phone, which was kind of irritating. |
|
[2013-04-24] A Google User: Half way there Working fine on my Note 2 but crashing every time on my Asus Nexus 7 Please fix this as I purchased this software mainly using on my nexus 7, What a bummer. Thanks. |
|
[2013-04-09] A Google User: not working for android it records to my laptop but unable to see it from my android htc rezound and i have tried all the trouble shooting advice.I feel a little cheated, this is the first time I bought an app even tho it was 4.99 I wished it worked, I never have any problems with free apps. buyer beware I gave it two stars for good software recording on my laptop but unable to get it on my phone is disappointing. |
|
[2013-04-02] A Google User: Needs to view from other N7 Should be able to use camera from other phones/tablets (i.e. view camera activity from Nexus7 on my SGNexus) |
|
[2013-04-01] A Google User: Limited explanation Does not list unsupported devices in description |
|
[2013-03-31] A Google User: Works well I have it hooked to a Samsung windows 8 laptop. Appears to be going fine. Will try to hook it to my other computer at the same time. But does what it says with virtually no effort |
|
[2013-03-25] A Google User: Very handy. I'm very paranoid of house fires and break ins. This is a huge help. |

[2013-03-21] A Google User: Muy buena Aplicación,Recomendada ! Esta es una muy buena aplicación,discrepo de algunos que no les a funcionado y lo siento, yo la tengo en iPad iOS 6.1.3 y en Android Samsundg Galaxy SII y funcionan de maravilla, no tiene problemas con el audio ni imagen ,creo que bien vale el precio : para mi es 10/10 ! This is a very good application, I disagree with some of them not worked and I'm sorry, I have it on iPad iOS 6.1.3 and Android Samsundg Galaxy SII and work great, no problems with the audio or image, I think well worth the price: for me is 10/10! |
|
[2013-03-21] A Google User: super cool -Abdón This is a very good application, I disagree with some of them not worked and I'm sorry, I have it on iPad iOS 6.1.3 and Android Samsundg Galaxy SII and work great, its works with Wifi or 3G no problems with the audio or image, I think well worth the price. For me is 10/10! |
|
[2013-03-20] A Google User: Good app Awesome |
|
[2013-03-19] A Google User: Good app Real good app for the price.. Free... Solid Rarely forces closed and always works. |
|
[2013-03-19] A Google User: Great app, easy to use. Like the app. The latest update fails to install on my Nexus 7 tablet. A SD card / USB error message pops up. |
|
[2013-03-18] A Google User: Webcam I have had it on my home for 1m now if i am out i can see how is at my door over 3g |
|
[2013-03-17] A Google User: Good app Works great. Easy to set up. Would like to see a widget. 5 stars then. |
|
[2013-03-13] A Google User: Awesome! Very happy so far, like the sensor notification. Also have it saving footage to my dropbox. Pretty sweet! |
|
[2013-02-14] A Google User: There's good and bad Works great with source running on my iMac and viewer on my Android... The app seems apple-centric, so I would expect to be able to make the iCamWeb app work when the source is on an iMac, trying to view it from a Macbook... latest flash, java, etc. etc... no such luck with Chrome, Safari, *OR* FireFox... May request a refund, web-viewing is a must. Was going to see if I could locate some info on the forum, but there was only one post with a request for a screenshot regarding this issue... couldn't even register... kept saying that my captcha info was wrong.... this app has potential, but needs a whole lot of work in this arena. |
|
[2013-02-14] A Google User: Must buy! This is truly an amazing app i use it all the time and was definitely satisfied with the $4.99 i paid for the app, its easy to set up and works beautifully pair this with a free Dropbox account and you have a cheap and amazing home security/monitoring system. |
|
[2013-02-14] A Google User: Love it! Works great on iPhone and on Droid....sends alerts in a second with no delays, but might need some router re configuration. |
|
[2013-02-12] A Google User: Galaxy S3 Best app by far. Tried others but this works a treat on my S3 would recommend all day long. |
|
[2013-02-11] A Google User: It works over 3G, gets the audio through. Great app that works fine. Easy to setup, and managed to view streaming over a 3G network. Awesome. But, it'd be really great if developers can consider a two-way audio stream. |
|
[2013-02-06] A Google User: Works great Yuup |
|
[2013-02-06] A Google User: cannot connect I'll be the first to admit that technology is sometimes bewildering, but after installing both icam and icamsource on my phone and mac, I cannot connect. With help, I think I could fix this. BUT the SKJM company does not have phone or chat support, only email. So after 3 days, we have exchanged emails about 4 times and are getting nowhere. And the email times we share are completely different (I'm on the west coast). |
|
[2013-02-02] A Google User: Crap Never got to work outside of my own wifi network. Support was useless. WASTE OF MONEY. |
|
[2013-02-01] A Google User: Cannot view icam in my dell streak Bought this apps and was able to view live streaming until i need to calibrate my screen after that i cannot open it anymore always saying that there is no connected id and password.... Saying also that i need to have java apps...searched and none for my dell streak....any help?....my first review ever |
|
[2013-01-27] A Google User: Brilliant! Exactly what I've been looking for! Easy to use works great even whilst I'm on the move! Thank you for such a great app! |
|
[2013-01-15] A Google User: great app~ definitely worth the 5$, works great! just wish there were more options for saving motion detection (video recording, saving to the sd card on my phone, etc..) |
|
[2013-01-13] A Google User: Gun Garbage. Doesn't on my atrix4g. Source had all firewalls turned of and router bypassed. |
|
[2013-01-01] A Google User: Good but Good app but i get errors if i try to access the stream from more then one device. |
|
[2012-12-26] A Google User: You need this app This is the easiest and fastest setup ever. Perfect app for monitoring your home and pets while you are gone. It will be worth it just to be able to see what my dog has been doing when I not home. |
|
[2012-12-11] A Google User: Great dev support, nice app Google play store had connection issues and dev was patient and helpful. Very smooth app, I like the layout. |
|
[2012-12-01] A Google User: Doesn't work with Android Piece of garbage doesn't work with Android. Don't waste your money |
|
[2012-11-26] A Google User: Amazing app. very easy to setup ,very nice app . definitely would recommend! |
|
[2012-11-24] A Google User: Privacy information Why does this application have access to phone number and serial number. When it comes to paying for apps security must be an issue. This is obsured when paying this much for an app. No refund. |
|
[2012-11-18] A Google User: Wonderful Had few issues initially but after I got it working (it was my router not the application) it's simply one of the best app I ever had. Works flawlessly on two computer.I'm loving the motion detect system and the way it notify me. It should have a little better graphics perhaps but this is just a side (and not so important) note. Does the job wonderfully.thanks. |
|
[2012-11-18] A Google User: No sound on Galaxy S3 Works but no sound on GS3 |
|
[2012-11-17] A Google User: Fix Don't work on EVO 3D |

|
[2012-11-08] A Google User: Source Connection Error JUST paid 5 bucks for an app that throws nothing but errors!! I have the latest updates on my Galaxy Nexus and lastest updates for Mountain Lion. Giving it to the end of the week to work or I'm asking for a refund!!! |
|
[2012-11-05] A Google User: Great App I am able to view my built in web cam in my laptop instantly no problem. I give it a five star. |
|
[2012-10-26] A Google User: Awesome.. but Stupid easy to use and set up. Love it. Now the but, I wish the program recorded a motion detection in a video format with audio and not just time lapse photos. There may be a addon for this though. Was hesitant to buy but after a few hours research this became the best choice above all others that I tried. Well worth every penny. |
|
[2012-10-17] A Google User: Best app I ever purchased Works great and has great user support |
|
[2012-10-06] A Google User: Upnp I can't get it to work. How do I get a refund? |
|
[2012-10-02] A Google User: GREAT APP After having such frustration with trying to get a ip camera to not work on xfinity Internet due to them preventing competition, I installed icamsource on pc and icam on my android and wowsa!! I am so pleased at such a great app and so easy to set up and use. The price is so low for such a great app and service. Great viewing on my pc webcam. Bill |
|
[2012-09-27] A Google User: UI needs some work Really clunky but does the job. Have to press back and log back in to change settings |
|
[2012-09-17] A Google User: Uses lots of resourses, but I have four cameras with four older computers hooked up, with high speed upload and down load, so they work great. |
|
[2012-09-09] A Google User: GREAT APP...WORTH EVERY CENT AND THEN SOME AWESOME STABLE. SGS2 on ICS 4.0 / Win7 64bit SIMPLE Use Dropbox as my storage folder Can't use your webcam simultaneously for icam AND another program like Skype. You would probably need to install another camera for that Read in forums how to run iCamSource silently / stealth |
|
[2012-09-08] A Google User: Perfection Extremely easy installation and best of all works like a charm if you a decent connection via wifi or 4g. |
|
[2012-09-05] A Google User: IPhone - iPad - Samsung S3 Used it on an iPhone and an iPad. Its getting better with more help online for port forwarding and connecting to a WiFi can. Great on the iPhone-like Samsung S3. ;) |
|
[2012-08-23] A Google User: Great app... For those who complain about the app, 100% of the time if it stops working its a sign you either need to update the app or the PC client. Plain and simple. The app flat out works and has for me on both the 3GS and my new S3. Wife uses it as well. Everytime there has been an issue it has been related to a software update. Once updated it works like normal. Probably the best remote cam app ive tried and I rely on it to keep an eye on my dogs and the wife, sitter, and baby when I'm not home. |
|
[2012-08-23] A Google User: Very easy to use. 4.5 stars I have been using another motion detecting webcam program for a while, but the only way to monitor it remotely was by logging into remote desktop which creates a great deal of lag. Not only does this app provide direct stream from the camera, but it also provides instant notifications when motion is detected. So now, I not only have a record if something happens, but I know when it happens! Well worth the $5. I would like the ability to modify the notification settings, but all in all, I love this. |
|
[2012-08-19] A Google User: Droid 4 ICS crashes Droid 4 upgraded to ICS yesterday, now icam doesnt work. Refund requested. |
|
[2012-08-18] A Google User: 8p Had to upgrade to latest iCamSource to get working again... the Android version needs more love! iPhone version is much better... |
|
[2012-08-15] A Google User: Notification Notification should be set as high alarm or use a ring tone but the default sound is real low and no vibration also should be a constant ring until u open the app |
|
[2012-08-15] A Google User: Asus nexus 7 AWESOME! Works perfect on my nexus 7 tab(4.1.1.) Thanks devs you guys are great, this update works perfect! Jelly bean power :-) |
|
[2012-08-14] A Google User: Great app! No major issues Everything worked great. It's fairly easy to set up and I only experienced one issue, being that I couldn't properly save the motion capture to my sd card. That moment when you get a motion capture notification, it's so exhilarating! Definitely worth the $5. |
|
[2012-08-12] A Google User: Works better on apple I have this on my iPad, and thought I would put it on my skyrocket too. Although it works on my wifi network, it will not connect over 4g lte even though my iPad will while tethered. Played with options for 5 Minutes and decided to get a refund, only the play store refused to give me one :(. |
|
[2012-08-06] A Google User: First times a charm Worked great for the first day, then afterwards it could never connect to server on my Imac. Please fix, I need to be able to see my children with the nanny! |
|
[2012-08-05] A Google User: Works great! Has potential. I've used this app for a while now. It's a great app! One thing I wish it would do though is auto save images to phone. If there was a break in, you could have to be quick to transfer pics to your phone before they are gone forever. :-( |
|
[2012-07-28] A Google User: Not working on ICS for Galaxy Note Installed this on my Note running ICS and it does not work! I get the message that it can't find any sources. My iPad displays the cameras just fine. Please fix this to work with ICS. |
|
[2012-07-26] A Google User: partially works connects to webcam but push notifications not working on my Galaxy Nexus with ICS. |
|
[2012-07-12] A Google User: Doesnt work! Wont work. No matter what was tried this app did not work on my phone. I am hoping for a refund. |
|
[2012-07-06] A Google User: Love this app Cheap and reliable. I use it to make sure the dog walker is on time and to check on the pets. Love it! |
|
[2012-07-05] A Google User: . using as a petcam with no audio, and no motion notifications, and is working extremely well on both wifi and 4g. running source software on osx lion, no issues. was not connecting initially, and now works great after forwarding the recommended ports on my router. this shouldn't be an issue for those who have normal router setups. |
|
[2012-06-30] A Google User: Not Stable after ICS upgrade on S2 Can not start iCam after ICS upgrade. It starts 10% of all tries. Worked perfect before. |
|
[2012-06-23] A Google User: Worked great for two days....now the push to my phone stopped working. Still works if icam is running just no notification when it is not. |
|
[2012-06-22] A Google User: didn't work at all |
|
[2012-06-06] A Google User: Worked 1 time Now it doesn't connect anymore. Infuse 4g, PC win 7. Server version 2.4.3 side note, worked great on my iPhone, before I switched. |
|
[2012-06-04] A Google User: Icam Will not work for me. |
|
[2012-06-03] A Google User: Just, "WoW"! Writing for the SERIOUSLY LO-TECH to NO TECH ish of the masses who ; while a bit daunted by the 'how it worx' process - still have important shiznit to keep eyes on... I strongly urge you to pull up a chair, belly up to the bar, dig in, study and assimilate... WTF ever it takes to hook u, THIS WORKS! 5 $ 5 minutes Real time minus MAYBE a second surveillance of whatever you want to surveil, within the limits of your hardware. Best finney I ever burned. |
|
[2012-06-02] A Google User: Notification stopped working Great app. Recently the notification does not work? It used to work fine. I can activate it but it no longer sends notifications. Also I can connect to 3 cams fine, then stop then start again and only 1 camera works. I need to reboot windows to get all 3 cameras working each time. |
|
[2012-05-31] A Google User: Great app Could upgrade support for other IP cams but it will work with any cam your PC or Mac identifys. Good security settings and accounts on the fly are a plus. |
|
[2012-05-25] A Google User: Very cool! Works great, and got excellent support from the SKJM forum when I had trouble viewing a second camera at first. |
|
[2012-05-24] A Google User: Convenient and easy I love this app. It's very simple and easy to use. Cameras are easy to set up and look good on my Charge. |
|
[2012-05-22] A Google User: Perfect! Works great on Galaxy Nexus! |
