With iPCamera you can use any iOS device as ip network camera. The app creates a web server which you can connect to with every web browser on a computer on the same local network as the iOS device. The network address which you enter in your web browser on your computer is displayed on the bottom of the screen. After you connected to the web server you see in your web browser a live view of the camera and a control interface to alter camera parameters, i.e. torch-control, resolution, frame-rate, quality, camera-selection, orientation, mirroring, etc.
iPCamera delivers market-leading ultra low-delay, super fluid and crystal clear video.
Possible applications of this app are surveillance applications or using your iOS device as a FPV device (first person view) for robots or rc cars.
You can protect the access to the app by http-authentication. The username and password for this can be set up in the app-preferences (in the settings-app).

Just what I was looking for!!! ?????

Only wish the screen would turn black while recording (**hint, hint**) but other than that it works good on any device I chose to watch from.
Awesome IP camera

This is an absolute winner to turn your old iPhone into an IP based camera/webserver. Rock solid, easy to use, and configurable. Lots of advanced controls that can be changed remotely. No client software needed just a browser to view. If you are able to do simple port forwarding then able to view over the internet. I would have paid for this!
Works great!

Works like a charm, smooth video feed, easy setup, watchable in your browser. Great! Just wish I could get it for my old iPhone (iOS 3.x) so I could use that old phone as an IP camera :-)
Great-a couple flaws though

Does what it says-type the address into your browser, and voila, turn your iPhone, iPod touch (4 or newer), or iPad into a high quality, high-frame rate, low-lag hi-resolution security camera. If you have a screen-recording program on your computer or i-device, you can even record the screen for later viewing. A couple things to mention though-it eats batteries like crazy (I understand this is to be expected, given your device is taking video, transmitting it real-time, all while the screen is on. Use it plugged into a charger if possible) and the newest version supposedly supports video over data networks, as opposed to the previous WiFi only, but I can't get it to work. I mainly use it when Im working at my desk with headphones on, pointed either at the door or directly behind me so I dont get startled if someone comes in behind me. Highly recommended app!
UPDATE: worked on old iTouch iOS6.1.6 after i rebooted

I bought this hoping I could repurpose an iTouch 4 into an ip camera. The iTouch only upgrades to iOS6.1.6 max so it's not good for much anymore (can't use it with Apple TV, etc). AT FIRST this ipcamera app crashed every time on the itouch device. I read through some of Dominik's other apps and saw on "Remove" he said if you get crashes reboot because of memory fragmentation - so I tried rebooting and then used ipcamera and it seems to work fine now. Also works on my ipad 3, etc. More review after i use it a bit!
App crashes!!

I was unhappy paying for this app as it is but now it won't even work! I tried rebooting and still didnt work. BAD APP !!! Save your money!!
Fantastic!

Works like a charm! There's almost no delay between camera and web browser. I HIGHLY recommend this app. Only thing that would make it better is transmitting audio as well.
Crashes if accessed remotely

Have 3GS. If I attempt to access the IP it closes the app. Doesn't work.
Great App.

Amazing how well it works. Currently have it set up with a few of my old iPhone for security camera. Works with Synology Surveillance Station and records with no lag. Was going to buy some Foscam fi9821, but this apps beats the $100 per Foscam.
