IP Webcam

Installed this on 3 old phones. Mostly good but after a few days the camera seems to stall and the app either gives error 'cannot get camera status because of "error"' or it just crashes out of streaming mode back to the app menu. Would be useful if there was a way to remotely restart it. Would also be nice if the motion sensing supported 'line crossing' to help reduce false alerts.

Great app, what a treat to have a free app that really does what it says. Did not have high expectations but I had everything up and running within minutes! As an android developer who has had the misfortune of working on a couple camera apps... very nice job. one minor question - if I turn on the audio response to motion detection, the audio seems to keep playing long after the motion detection timeout has passed. is this intentional behavior? I'd like to be able to just play the audio while movement is being actively detected.

Further update v 1.14.31.737 aarch64: Samsung a3 2017 issues mentioned below fixed with server options - optional permissions selected..... However identical version installed on Actel pixi 4027x this isn't available. Assuming old OS changes options? . Awesome app..... Looks good but app seems to crash when running in background. It seems to be constantly opening and closing the camera, a ticking is heard. Tinycam app picks up the ip but no image is available. Okay

I used this on my Nexus 6 to stream video out of a heating vent. I used the video to retrieve a lost tool. i would give it a 5 star, but the video kept slowly rolling pushing top to bottom. I am not sure if that was my phone or feature of the non-paid version. Either way, i get it sorted out, it'll be worth the $4.

IP webcam works good for a security camera. I like that I can connect from anywhere and see what is going on. It's very good at doing what it does. It has the ability to detect motion and take pictures when it determines that motion is going on. I've been using it for about a week now, but sadly I have to give up on it. Even though it has motion detection, it doesn't do me any good if it cant notify me when it detects that something is going on. It's not enough to just take pictures or video, they all do that. It needs to notify via text/email and let you know that something is happening so you can take action. It has a plug-in that is supposed to send you an email when it detects activity, but it is extremely unreliable and fails to send 90 percent of the time. Having said all that, if a webcam is all you are looking for, then give this a try. If surveillance is your main reason for having a webcam then this likely wont do it for you.
