## What is WaidmannsCam?

WaidmannsCam collects photos from your wireless wildlife cameras directly from your email inbox—automatically, in the background, without the cloud, and without any additional subscription.

Wireless wildlife cameras send new images via email to an address you specify, possibly after you’ve purchased a premium subscription. WaidmannsCam can “fish” the images out of your inbox and display them in the app: The app connects directly to your inbox via POP3 or IMAP, detects new wildlife camera photos, and saves them locally on your device. You’ll receive a notification—and see your images immediately in a clear gallery.

POP3 AND IMAP
Select the protocol supported by your email account: POP3 or IMAP. Preset configurations are available for popular providers like iCloud, Outlook, GMX, Web.de, and T-Online—just one tap is all it takes.

MANUFACTURER-INDEPENDENT
Works with any camera that sends photos via email—without any proprietary app or manufacturer cloud.

COMPLETELY PRIVATE
Your photos stay on your device. There is no dedicated server, no cloud synchronization, and no sharing of data with third parties. The password is stored encrypted in the secure device storage (iOS Keychain). As the developer of this app, I have no access to your data.

AUTOMATIC IN THE BACKGROUND
Set the check interval to your liking. The app regularly checks your inbox in the background and notifies you via local push notification as soon as new photos are available. (Minimum interval on iOS: 15 minutes.)

MULTIPLE CAMERAS
If you operate multiple wildlife cameras, WaidmannsCam automatically identifies the cameras based on the email content whenever possible. You can filter by camera in the gallery.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Your wildlife camera sends a new photo via email
2. WaidmannsCam connects to this mailbox via POP3 or IMAP
3. New images are downloaded and stored locally
4. You receive a notification on your device

SETUP IN ONE MINUTE
Open the “Connection” tab, select POP3 or IMAP, tap on a provider icon if necessary, and enter your login credentials. Done.
This app is free—no subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-06-22

Version 1.2.0

This version makes WaidmannsCam more reliable and faster:

– Preview image in notifications: New photos now appear directly as an image in the notification—visible at a glance without opening the app.
– No more missed photos: The app automatically reloads all photos received since the last time you opened it—with no gaps and no duplicate notifications.
– Progress indicator during reloading: When there are many new photos, you can see how far the download has progressed.
– Improved photo detail view: Easily swipe between filtered photos and hide text when zooming or tapping—for an uninterrupted full-screen view.
– Notifications per camera: Notifications can now be differentiated by camera.
– Improved stability: More reliable background photo retrieval, smoother image processing, and several crashes fixed.

Thank you for your feedback—it’s directly incorporated into future development.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-04-17

Version 1.1.1 is now available in English, with improvements to the camera filter and overall reliability.
- Bilingual (German and English)
– Multiple camera filter: Select multiple cameras simultaneously in the gallery using a new checkbox menu instead of a single selection
– Camera filter in the photo viewer: The active camera filter is retained while scrolling through photos; Swipe navigation shows only photos from the filtered cameras
– More stable login data storage: additional fallback storage prevents password loss after an iOS Keychain cleanup or app reinstallation
– Improved error messages: clearer notifications for connection issues, fewer false alarms during brief interruptions

### 1.1.0 — 2026-04-01

Version 1.1 bringt IMAP-Unterstützung und mehrere Verbesserungen.
– IMAP-Unterstützung (Port 993): neben POP3 kann die App jetzt auch über IMAP auf das Postfach zugreifen – ideal für iCloud, Outlook und andere Anbieter, die POP3 nicht mehr anbieten
– Anbieter-Voreinstellungen für IMAP und POP3: iCloud, Outlook, GMX, Web.de, T-Online mit einem Tippen vorausfüllen
– Neueste Fotos zuerst: beim Abrufen werden immer die neuesten Nachrichten zuerst geladen; ältere folgen bei nachfolgenden Abfragen rückwärts
– Vollbild-Wischnavigation: im Foto-Viewer kann durch Wischen überall auf dem Bild zum nächsten oder vorherigen Bild gewechselt werden (Zoomen bleibt unberührt)
– Neue-Fotos-Markierung: frisch geladene Fotos erhalten einen goldenen Rahmen in der Galerie, bis sie geöffnet werden
– Galerie scrollt nach jedem Abruf automatisch nach oben
– Stabilitätsverbesserung: Sonderzeichen im Passwort (z. B. * ! %) werden jetzt zuverlässig übertragen
