ipCam - Mobile IP Camera for iPhone

Brief description

ipCam turns an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad into a Wi‑Fi IP camera so you can stream stills, live video and audio to compatible clients on your network. Streams can be viewed in web browsers and in companion apps such as iCamSource and iCamSource Pro.

Alternative suggestion

Top recommended substitute: CapCut (Free) — a popular free app that provides additional media tools and editing features which some users find useful alongside or instead of a dedicated IP camera solution.

Camera control and image options

• Switch between the front and rear camera at will.
• Adjust image resolution, compression/quality and frame rate to match bandwidth or quality needs.
• Enable an optional timestamp overlay on captured frames.
• Crop images to a 4:3 aspect ratio and use digital pan/tilt to reposition the cropped area.
• Operate the device flash remotely from the web control panel.
• Tap the preview screen to toggle a darker display for low‑glare monitoring.

Network, security and port handling

• Protect access with an optional username and password.
• Use dynamic DNS services such as DynDNS or No‑IP to reach the device from outside your local network.
• Let the app attempt automatic port forwarding on routers that support UPnP or NAT‑PMP.

Using the web interface

Open the URL supplied by the app in any browser on the same local network to reach the ipCam web console. From that interface you can change settings, view live images or video, and access direct links for snapshots, streams and audio.
