About CamViewer for IP Webcams
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.

2.0.1
Jun 28, 2016
v2.0.1 Fixes in-app purchase, and some general upgrades and bug fixes
v2.0 - iCloud Syncing Support!
Think of v2.0 as the El Capitan to 1.9.xxx's Yosemite. Lots of changes and improvements to the underlying code but not so many visual or functional changes. There have been some good functionality updates recently so I thought with those and the iCloud support in this version it was finally time to bump up to v2.0. I'm expecting the transition from v2.0 to v3.0 to take a lot less time than from v1.0 to v2.0!
I know I promised an icon update when v2.0 came along but it seems like Apple has finally caught up with the minimalism of CamViewer's UI (or at least they did back with iOS7) so the icon's hanging around, at least for a little while longer!

This version should provide more consistent panning support and access to parameters after a complete overhaul of this and testing on over 250 cameras.
Also contains support for accessing some cameras via SSL and the ability to disable access via cellular connections. You can also link directly to cameras, see here for more instructions: http://camviewerip.com/linkingtoapp
There's more general bugfixes too, and the same industry leading flat design as always.
Version 1.9.17 fixes the bug that means you see no controls, caused by an old config file being used. Also adds a new config tweak to support more cameras.

1.9.15
Apr 19, 2013
It's been a long time but I've finally got a new build out. This one has much improved talk support - the camera should no longer make clicking noises when you turn on 2-way audio. There's also some improvements to listening although there's probably still work to be done there.
Other fixes:
* Detects cameras that support the special 2-way audio api and falls back to using mjpeg feed on videostream.cgi for others.
* Basic support for latest Foscam FI9821 cameras, just MJPG feed & controls so far.
* Basic support for a few more cameras including iOS app IPCam, ABUS camera.
* Fixed a bug with data usage not being recorded if the app went inactive.
* Fixed a crash bug with preset popovers on iPad.
* Fixed a bug that caused a 401 error on some cameras.
* Fixing bug with aspect ratio breaking in proxy safer mode by completely changing "Proxy Safer" mode to work in a different way, also allows data usage to be displayed in this mode now.
* Only shows "Controls disabled" message once.

Fixes bug that caused app to disconnect when audio was enabled, adds basic support for JPG feed from H.264 cameras with pan, tilt & presets. Better handling of "private network" type cameras. App now attempts to reconnect if connection to camera is lost. General fixes of a few small bugs and improving detection of features on some cameras.
I'm working on the sound quality both for listening and speaking and will try to improve this in a future update.
Also adds ability to report problems within the app, improved support for iPad landscape, digital zoom and optional zoom where supported by the camera, detection of transparent proxies, ability to download config from the web. Fixes support for iOS4.3 devices.

1.9.13

1.9.13 Features 2-way audio as an in-app purchase, remember that the quality of audio support provided by these cameras varies wildly.
Also adds ability to report problems within the app, improved support for iPad landscape, digital zoom and optional zoom where supported by the camera, detection of transparent proxies, ability to download config from the web. Fixes support for iOS4.3 devices.
There's still a few new features I'd like to add before I call this "Version 2" (including a new icon!) but I wanted to get these improvements submitted as they're ready to go.
