ipCam Support / Latest update 01/2020 broke app

« on: January 12, 2020, 03:47:04 AM »

I’m running ipCam on an old 4S (as a webcam it’s a good image!).

On restart after the latest update 5 days ago (?) the app no longer runs. Screen flashes once then app disappears. It’s still in background as I can see it via Home button, but if selected it closes/goes to background immediately and doesn’t respond to external http requests.

Disappointing!
iPhone 4S / iOS 9

ipCam Support / Timestamp Font size

Any way of changing the fontsize of the timestamp onscreen?  At the moment it's rather large.

Thanks,
G.

  Ok, may have found the primary culprit for this and it's not the ipCAM app itself. 

Putting an iPhone up against a window as a webcam on a sunny winter day means the phone is in full sunlight for a few hours: enough time for the phone to get to a high temperature and stop working.  The high temp screen comes on and stays there until the unit cools enough to continue.  However, like any other interruption, the running app is now in the background or stopped.  I found this out when home on the weekend and able to get to the iPhone after it had stopped responding.

I've since put some reflective insulation between cam and window and the device is a lot more stable.  I currently scrape the app webpage every 15 minutes for the image, logging any failures.  Over the past few days I've noticed a few times when the  app doesn't respond but then comes right later. For example 10:00 success, 10:15 fail, 10:30 success, 10:45 success ...  That's acceptable for my purposes.

So the moral of this story is to remember placement and device operational environment as well as the software itself!

 I now suspect the timing of connecting from external was coincidental and gave a false indication of the issue.  It definitely seems to be time/use related.  I have a script that grabs a copy of the image (via cURL) every 15 minutes, and in just on 20 hours the app appears to stop. 

How long do most people have the app running on an unattended phone - 1,2,10+ days?

I've been able to get 2 crash logs - email sent.

ipCam Support / Feature request: focus

« on: August 09, 2016, 03:55:47 PM »

Any chance of implementing a 'Lock focus' button on the main screen?  The scene I have can get quite blurry if foreground leaves are moving in the wind and the camera changes to a close-up focus leaving the main part of the picture out of focus.  Just a thought.

I've got ipcam installed on an up-to-date iPhone 4S, with port mapping and security.  If I 'log in to the camera from an external address it works, but after I disconnect, the app appears to freeze/crash and doesn't respond. When I physically get to the phone the app is no longer running. 

No SIM card, Do Not Disturb set, and all notifications turned off.

Suggestions?
