FIREFOX ONLY

Many of the reviews here are from people who expect this app to do things it does not attempt to do.

They are correct when saying rear cam only (that's the better camera anyway) and that there's no sound (it doesn't claim to offer sound recording). Other people here are confused, thinking that this is a WebCam you can attach directly to your computer and use to get video in Skype for example. That is not what this webcam app supposed to.

The big disappointment that I find here, is that for some strange reason, the only web browser that supported his Firefox. With other browsers you get garbage characters as if the browser is attempting to render the date of an image as the binary text. It's very peculiar it's probably small fix. I really hope the developers make note of the same changes and they quickly released patch.

I'm quite disappointed as well with people who have given this app bad reviews based on their inability to figure out how port forwarding works or even in some cases what the URL is supposed to be for the WebCam when the WebCam URL is clearly there on screen. Please read the documentation.

Works great

yep, no sound, yep you gotta lock the rotate button when viewing on an iOS device, yep you gotta adjust video quality to increase size of image--but hey the high quality setting provides an excellent quality image and the medium setting works fine. I see no reason why this app would not be worth money if it had audio. Gives you a URL you can copy and paste to share, and is viewable Safari. It really works easily. Want front camera and sound?, buy a real webcam and use a video chat like Facetime or Tango. This is app "just works" and that is its beauty! 5 stars when audio is available. But I don't need audio for a security cam.

Does what its supposed to do

I was looking for an app to turn my iPhone into a webcam that was:

1) Free
2) For use on a LAN; no WAN functionality required
3) Didn't require any additional software

This app does all of the above.

The image size, frame rate, and quality is reasonable at the "medium" setting.

What I don't like:

1) Doesn't work on Chrome and IE8. It does work on Safari (Mac & iOS) and Firefox (Mac & PC).
2) Something very weird is going on with the orientation. When viewed on iOS, the camera must be held in Portrait mode. When viewed on Safari on iOS, the camera must be held in Landscape mode. The app should read the orientation of the device and act accordingly.
3) No sound.
