Pros and cons of Instant Webcam app for iPhone and iPad
Instant Webcam app good for
Starts right out ready to go. Streams to a few devices at one time. Im using it as a poor mans document camera for school. Id like the stream address to stay up a bit longer. I can easily find it though. Good job by the developer. Im recommending this to my school district.
Ive been search the web a long time and i decide to implement HTML5 live web stream on my own. I actually develop a slow app, very poor. An today i found this app with this integration with ffmpeg but using javascript to works on cross-browser platforms. Very nice!
But there is no sound transmitted. Please implement that in the next version.
Works great ! I cant wait to show everyone how cool this is :) thanks !!!!!
My only complaint is there is no Audio ! It would be a nice feature to turn on and off !!!
Fonctionne admirablement bien et du premier coup! La simplicité même.
Works perfectly well at first shot! Amazingly simple.
An option to turn off the screen would be great to save battery life.
Good idea and UI, but after 10 minutes my 4s loosing connection (reproduced 2 times).
Some bad moments
Does not work together with apples safari browser, so streaming from iPhone to iPad will not work.
No real customer support. Not even an
email address. Issues with connectivity.
Constant refreshing in chrome and it crushed
safari altogether. WTF?
Please allows streaming from LTE as well. Edited to 5 stars. But still need to streaming from a phone to a server(dont have to use the same wifi). Could you release the source code?
This is so cool. Works perfectly. Video from iPad mini to MacBook looks great. Very nice hack. I might even try the Internet version.
I tried streaming from iPhone to iPad and all I got was a still image, no motion at all.
Works great and video is surprisingly smooth. Great UI too. Would be even more awesome if it had wan support too.
