I am no longer actively supporting this app. I have removed the in-app purchase requirement and the feedback functionality. Really simple viewer for Foscam, Tenvis and similar IP webcams with lots of features and iCloud syncing. 2-way audio support available for some non-HD cameras. In-app purchase for audio support varies in quality depending on camera. Allows you to view and operate multiple webcams storing the details for each one in the app for easy access. Offers access to operator controls including panning, modifying the infrared lights, patrol mode (double tap an arrow), recentering (double tap the center control) and modifying the camera properties. Digital zoom now allows you to pinch or double tap to zoom and pan the view. To enable this in landscape mode click the icon to disable the pan controls. Currently only tested regularly with Foscam FI8908, FI8918 & FI9821W and Tenvis JPT3815 & iProbot 3 but users have reported success with some Storage Options, Apexis, Instar, Hootoo, ebode IP Vision, Watchbot, Axis, TP-Link, TRENDnet, Abus, Asti, D-Link and Wanscam branded cameras. If you have problems using this app please report your problems through the app or contact us on the support link so that we can give you help.
