How do I upload recordings?

I love the app but I can’t work out how to use the http upload server

Agree that it’s cool but flawed

What is the address for the http server?

NOT a continuity camera for Apple TV

I “thought” this was going to be a continuity camera for Apple TV. Sadly it predates those options and installs a “helper app” on the phone or iPad. But you can’t even get to any footage or photo’s recorded; well not usefully. You CAN review them in the app on the TV, but not in the device app even though they are allegedly in iCloud. But they’re not and you can’t export them or retrieve them. It might be useful as a mirror app if only it was actually sending the full display. Do not part with the cash!

Fantastic! Streams iPhone camera to ATV flawlessly

Activate the app on both devices (on the same network) and it's good to go. I tried a dozen other apps and none of them could do it properly. Could've saved myself a lot of hassle if I'd found this one first! I'd recommend it without hesitation.

Zero Stars - Will not sync

If I could give zero stars I would. This did not sync with iPad or iPhone 6s. Multiple attempts rebooting all devices. No support for how to address syncing errors. Fix it and I will write a new review. Until you see that it works, stay away from purchasing this app.
