I believe that the http api’s may differ per brand, but once you know how to get an image stream, they mostly work the same.Īfter a bit of searching on the internet, I came across the following foscam developer pdf. The camera I bought is a FOSCAM I8910W, although the brand is not that important. These are really cool camera’s, because they can be connected to an TCP/IP network and usually provide an http api to control the camera en read images from it. A little while ago I ran out of new gadgets, so I decided to buy an IP Camera. I think every geek will recognize this somewhat. Oh how I wish the developers of the live cams pro ios app would develop a mac app.Hello again! It is time for another blog post! This time I am not going to blog about something that I have learned on the job (although I did learn a lot that I could use doing my job), instead I am going to blog about a little hobby project I did.

I do not reccomend anybody to by this software or any software from this developer until they change the way they do business. No support, they dont return emails, and its beeen nearly a year since this app has had an update, its still at version 1.0! The developers must have left this app for dead. Also, why does this software put such a strain on my cpu? I can view twice as many cameras on my ipad at the same time with no problem yet looking at the same cameras from my mac book pro with intel i7 sends my cpu usage over %120? I have sent multiple questions to the developer asking if they will upgrade the software to support newer cameras but have not recieved a reply.

I will find another solution somewhere else. Now I have another newer camera and its not supported on this software but supposedley it is on the ipcamera recorder software so your telling me I have to buy yet another version of your software to monitor my cameras and pay an additional fee for each camera even though I do not want to record from them? No thanks. I originally had the ipcamera viewer software but they quit upgrading it with new camera profiles so I had to get the ipcamera viewer 2 software because I got a newer camera and they only supported it on the ipcamera viewer 2 software. I currently have 28 ip cameras that I monitor from my macbook pro. Your requests and feedback are welcome at Bearden Let us know if you have a camera that is not supported yet, or if you need any other additions to the app.
