W0nd3rW4ll Lite shows live video from your Axis network cameras on your iPhone and iPad: a wall of tiles, the camera list to build it and, when your cameras report their position, a map that locates them.
OPTIMIZED FOR IPHONE DUO
The app makes the most of both screens of iPhone Duo:
- opened like a book, the wall fills the left screen and the list or the map the right one, and a line of the list can be dragged onto the wall, from one screen to the other;
- set up like a laptop, the wall fills the top screen and the list or the map the bottom one;
- closed, the outer screen shows only the cameras;
- opened flat, the layout follows the width of the screen, as on iPad.
YOUR CAMERAS
- Import them all: tap Import Camera List (with a keyboard: Command-O) and choose a JSON file that gives, for each camera, its name, its address (an IPv4 address or a host name; IPv6 addresses are not supported), its user name and its password; you can also drop the file into the app's folder from the Files app. The file format is described on the support page.
- Or add them one by one, and edit or remove them, from the "…" menu: Add a camera, Cameras.
- The app queries each camera to discover its views (each sensor of a multi-sensor camera, and the overview when it serves one), without changing any of its settings.
THE CAMERA LIST
- On iPad and wide screens, the list sits in a column on the left and the map below the wall; the List and Map buttons show or hide each of them independently.
- On iPhone held upright, the list and the map share the bottom area, and a single button switches from one to the other.
- Tap a line to put the view on the wall; a check mark shows the views already there.
- The views of a multi-sensor camera fold and unfold; folded, the camera shows how many of its views are on the wall.
- Search by name (Command-F): each word you type matches the beginning of a word in the name, ignoring case and accents.
THE WALL
- Live 16:9 tiles, as large as the screen allows.
- Tap a tile to select it: ×1, ×2 and ×3 set its size, and the cross removes it from the wall. Drag it to move it.
- Double-tap a tile to show its view alone; double-tap again to return to the wall.
- The corner button hides the list and the map: the wall takes the whole screen.
SAVED VIEWS
Save the wall (cameras, order, ×1 ×2 ×3) under a name and bring it back with one tap, from the "…" menu (with a keyboard: Command-S, then Command-1 to Command-9). At the next launch, the wall brings back the last layout.
THE MAP
As soon as a camera reports its GPS position, the map locates each camera. Tap a marker to select its camera; double-tap it to put its first view on the wall.
PTZ CAMERAS
The single view of a motorized camera is controlled by touch: tap to center the camera on that point, drag to aim it, pinch to zoom.
PRIVACY AND SECURITY
- No account, no intermediate server, no data collected: the app communicates only with the cameras in your list, and with Apple Maps to draw the map; the camera list, the layout and the saved views stay on your device.
- Once fully imported from the app's folder, the camera list file is removed from it: no password remains readable there.
- An HTTPS certificate valid for the camera's name is accepted; otherwise it is pinned on first contact, and a certificate that changes afterwards is refused until you save the camera's details.
REQUIREMENTS
- iOS 27 or iPadOS 27, or later: iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo.
- Axis network cameras reachable from the device over HTTPS (port 443, VAPIX API) and RTSP (port 554, H.264 video), with an account on each camera.
- For cameras on the local network, Local Network permission.
Interface in English and French, following the device language.
