## What is SlothCam Webcam Browser?

SlothCam is the only iOS webcam app which supports both iCloud syncing and AppleTV/Airplay (iOS5 only).

SlothCam is a fully customizable webcam browser for all iOS devices. This app was inspired by my popular Mac OS Dashboard Widget and allows you to view multiple live webcam feeds on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Simply add your webcam URLs to the app, and swipe left and right to change views, just like the Apple photos app. SlothCam has a clean simple interface that allows you to view your webcams full screen. 

SlothCam comes with a few built in sample webcams, but the purpose of this app is for you to add your own. There is no limit to the number of cams you can add, and this app can be personalized for many possible uses. For example, you can use it to monitor local traffic conditions, check on the weather in your home town, keep an eye on surf conditions, etc. 

Any webcam which has a JPEG image stream is supported. You can also use SlothCam to monitor any image file on the web which is periodically updated such as satellite images, weather data, etc.

SlothCam works on all Apple iOS devices. Buy one copy of SlothCam and run it on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch! You can even export the settings from one of your devices and import them on the others.

With SlothCam you can:
•Save any webcam image directly to your device's photo album.
•Save a series of webcam images.
•Import and export webcam lists using email.
•Migrate your settings from the Dashboard widget to the iOS app.
•Enter webcam lists on your Mac or PC via a webpage and send them to the iOS app.
•View your list of webcams as a slideshow.
•Sync webcams between devices using iCloud syncing.
•View your webcams on an external monitor or TV using AppleTV and Airplay.

### 5/5 — Perfect to watch my list of webcams

*2025-11-08*

Super App, does what I was looking for. Two questions here:
1. Your Website or feedback Mail address is not reachable.
2. Does Refreshrate (in sec) also operates in background mode?

**Developer response:** Sorry the contact link is not working - I haven't update this app in a long time and my website changed! You should check out ImageTracker which is the more modern incarnation of SlothCam. Most of the functionality is via widgets - ie you can make stacks of widgets on your Home Screen with content from webcams instead of adding them to a list inside an app. I will try to fix the contact info but until then you can reach me via ImageTracker or the Catspaw System website.

### 3/5 — Nice app, but needs a refresh

*2022-02-14*

The UI could use a refresh as the Preferences cannot be selected on an iPad since it is beneath the multitasking buttons/dots. Would also be nice to have an option to support multiple camera groups rather than one long swipe-able list.

### 1/5 — Sloth Cam

*2021-10-12*

The app is absolutely amazing for looking at web cams. But I deleted it off my phone because of the ridiculous amount of ads... you literally can not use the app because you are all the time trying to close pop up Ads🤬

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-03-02*

This app lets me view all of my JPEG based webcams in one place. It helps me keep an eye on traffic and surf conditions. The default webcams are nothing special but adding your own webcams really makes this app useful.

### 5/5 — Easy

*2015-12-06*

I like this for viewing road condition cams that on a website you need to click different links for each camera. With Slothcam once you have some cameras loaded all you need to do is swipe between them. Also excellent support. I needed help because I did not know when you copy a webcam image you also copy the URL  and that is what you paste in Slothcam to get the webcam online. 
Once set up its works nice.

### 3/5 — Works but lacking

*2015-10-08*

This app functions, including the iOS/OSX link and has proved reliable.

There is no obvious way to add a username/password combination for cams that are protected.   This is a serious omission for those that want to access their home security cams.   No response from the author, despite comments in iTunes.   Fortunately a bodged workaround is possible.

I found the OSX version a bit buggy, so buyers of the iOS version needing this feature, beware.

### 5/5 — I like it

*2015-09-22*

SlothCam is a nice option for checking out webcams around the world. It works well and looks good, despite the ridiculous name.

### 5/5 — Very Good!

*2015-08-07*

I've been using this app across iDevices and the Mac widget for a few years and it's very easy to use and has an export/import feature which is useful. I had a minor issue with a URL today and the author replied back with support and fix within 30 minutes. I recommend this app if you have favourite webcam urls you visit. In my case, views of the Norfolk Broads mostly.

### 5/5 — Funktioniert super

*2015-02-25*

Genau so eine App habe ich gesucht, funktioniert super, mit ICLOUD und Mail Sync, und auch noch als widget auf dem MAC - Klasse

### 5/5 — The best iOS webcam app

*2014-12-26*

It has been years and this is still the best webcam app for iOS. The iCloud functionality and compatible lite with the Mac and widget versions of the app are particularly cool.
