by admin on May 2, 2009

In this tutorial, we’ll be showing you how to watch a live feed from your webcam on your iPhone or iPod touch from anywhere in the world.  Setup is pretty simple, basically just download and install a windows program and the necessary app and you’re ready to stream live.

What You’ll Need:

  1. WebcamXP Pro
  2. iPod touch or iPhone
  3. An app called ‘I-C-Livecams

How to Setup your Streaming Webcam:

  • The first thing you should do is download ‘i-c-livecams’ from the app store and install WebcamXP Pro on your computer. Of course, be sure your webcam is plugged in and you see your webcam’s live feed on webcamXP.
  • Click the web/broadcast tab on WebcamXP to show you your IP address and the port that it’s using.

Setting it up:

  1. On your iTouch/iPhone start up i-c-livecams.
  2. In the private icons section select your iPod or iPhone’s name. (Ex: my ipods name is ‘Matt’s ipod’)

  3. Choose ‘Add a new WebcamXP Camera’
  4. Fill in your IP address and your port with the correct information from the web/broadcast tab on WebcamXP. You can name your camera anything you want, if you set a username and password on Webcam XP then also fill in the correct information.For example: Name: Living Room Host or IP address: 0.0.0.0  port: 80 Camera #: 1

If all of the information you provided on i-c-livecams was correct you should now be online and watching the live feed on your ipod or iphone.
