iCam Support / Record Motion Detection
« on: December 22, 2009, 06:35:05 PM »
although icam is, in general, a better app for VIEWING your motion related camera from your iphone I can't understand for the life of me why anyone would use this to "record"
I will however preface this by saying, props to the creator for attempting to add something people were asking for BUT the icam app is so sensitive it basically records 24/7 and when it comes to actually "recording" again the app fails.
The problem lies in the fact that the app isn't actually recording anything but taking a screenshot every few seconds which ends up being a smeary blurry mess of a file and is an irritation to go through multiples of to try and find just 1 that you're looking for.
I propose this be fixed by the program allowing for the choice of several different video recording types, or just 1 but several would be better, and then the ability to either let it auto record or allowing the user to push a button to record if he/she wishes.
Icam = better for viewing your cam
athomecamera = better for recording your footage
If the next update comes closer to how they do it with more resolution in the recorded video feed then I'd consider icam the #1 on market app. As it is you're the best for viewing your camera though, I'll def give you that but I rarely use my icam because of the lack of full motion recording.
