ipCam for Pc

This app is just awesome. I have been looking for something like this for a long time now and was not disappointed when I used it. It does exactly what it says. Get it and be amazed. I would put it up there in the app store essentials category. Some suggested update features would be: the ability to control the video size and quality from the computer on which it is being viewed, and an emergency app close button. The emergency button could be used of you are trying to be sneaky with the camera but someone picks up your phone for some reason. The button located on the link to the feed would tell the phone to close this app, much like the button for the flash on/off.

I sat down for hours trying to figure out the best way to set up my iPhone and iPad as wireless cameras for a twitch stream. I had heard of a couple of $5 apps, and was willing to pay to make this work. I found that every app I had come across was difficult. You had to install software on the computer, and it was really unreliable.. crashing, showing blank video, or locking up completely. Getting the stream set up each time would require loading up multiple programs, and resetting my scene. (Each of these apps only allowed one device) I almost didn't jump in on this app because it was paid only. They should offer a free stamped/low quality version to try out.. but that's not the issue I had with it. This app is browser based, and because each device is given a link based off its IP, you can have multiple websites. You have a decent amount of settings you can play with for video feed quality, and once you set up your scene for the first time, all you have to do is launch the app on the devices and they automatically pulled up on the stream. Fantastic. My issue: There is no way to lock or set orientation to landscape. If you tilt the phone sideways it will go to landscape, but if you try to set the phone flat, or even remotely close to flat, it will pop back to portrait. And there's nothing on the phone itself that shows whether it's portrait or landscape. I had to open the website and watch. I'm trying to do an overhead shot of a table, and this may not work for it if I can't figure this out or dev doesn't fix this issue. Maybe I can portrait lock it and see if I can manually turn the video feed in twitch 90 degrees.. that's another day I suppose. Thanks for a great app.

After spending more than enough time with this.... Here's what I found out... Here is the short of it: "to view iPhone "ipcamera" outside of the network.... You have to have a computer running iCamSource on the same network. That takes signal and allows you to view via iCamSource. You can't just turn on ipcamera and view from down the street.... And at this point they don't plan on taking the time.... To do what they make you think this thing is going to do. I found iCamSource very usefull for my computer lab and laptop. This app is not. It's clear the positive reviews are friends of the developers. As you will see reviews after this hopefully.... will tell the true nature of this app... Totally lame..... Here's info that I came across. this app allows your camera enabled iPad to function like a network IP camera. """"NOT""""" this app therefore needs to be connected to a computer running iCamSource .. The functionality of iCamSource built into this app has been requested in the past and is currently on our list of potential features to implement in the future. Unfortunately, we do not have any immediate plans to develop that feature. Uhhhhhhh develope this feature???? I bought this ... Because you do not make it clear you need a laptop or computer running to view outside the network to use with your own product iCamSource.... Stupid.... What a joke.

I was looking for a quick way to stream video from my iPad/iPhone to my computer, and I found it. Case closed. Without no configuration, I had an awesome stream running...and the options available do let you customize it a bit. Some additional options would be nice, but I don't even use what's there now. It's perfect right out of the box. Can't recommend it enough.
