Device: iOS Universal

Category: Utilities

Price: $1.99 -> Free, Version: 2.0 (iTunes)



Description:



Control your web camera with this app. You can view the actual still image from the camera, or get an MJPEG video, if your camera supports it.



You can switch your camera's event notification on and off, virtually allowing you to use the camera as a comfortable alarm system (if you configure motion detection within your camera).

When an event is triggered, a push notification can be sent to your device (optionally). You can also have sent a notification to multiple devices running this app.



For enhanced security, the app supports username and password authentication with the camera, and encryption via SSL (optionally using self-signed certificates, like the one the camera generates).



The app works with AXIS (TM) cameras that support the HTTP API interface. Tested with the 207 series. There is also a Lite version of this app available, which you should use to test compatibility of your camera before buying.



Features include:

- Display the actual camera still image or video (MJPEG - only available over WiFi connection)

- Switch camera event notification (alarm) on and off

- Push notifications when an alarm is triggered (optional), playing a sound and/or triggering device vibration

- Select from different sounds used for notification

- Support SSL encryption with the camera

- Support for authentication via username and password

- All network traffic will be encrypted (if you use SSL)

- Designed for iPhone, but as a universal app it can also be used full-screen with the iPad

- Supports portrait and landscape formats

- Zooming of the images

- The app communicates directly with your camera via http(s), no user or password data is transferred to our servers
