Every time I launch the iCamviewer on my iPhone 4S and load my only camera (DLink DCS2100), the camera image comes up pretty much immediately, then goes away less than a second later, and the 'unable to connect to your camera...' message comes up.

There's another certain _ _ _ _ scope software that I use that connects to the camera fine via Firefox and the application on my Mac Pro desktop, so I know the port forwarding and such are correct. I even tried opening ports 1-9000, and putting the camera in the DMZ of my linksys router... same iCamviewer behavior across the board.

I think it's weird that the image appears then goes away. So it is clearly connecting initially, but can't hang on.
(I originally posted this in the wrong forum... my apologies)

A customer contacted CCTV Camera Pros with the following question:

I would like to simply view my home via iPhone 3G using two cameras. I am looking for the simplest and cheapest way to do this. Is there a monthly fee?

CCTV Camera Pros provided the following recommendation:

Thank You for contacting CCTV Camera Pros. In order to view two security cameras from your iPhone via 3G or WIFI, you can purchase any of these cameras:
http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Zavio-IP-Cameras-s/404.htm

and use our free iphone app:
http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/CCTV-Camera-iPhone-App-s/362.htm

You will also need a high speed internet connection at the location where the cameras are located and a router to connect the cameras to.

Here is a link to the setup instructions for the iCamViewer iPhone app:
http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/iCamviewer-iPhone-App-Setup-Instructions-s/393.htm

There is no monthly fee to do this beyond what your Internet service provider charges you for the Internet connection. Please let us know if we can help further.

Re. iCamViewer: How can I force the app to remain in landscape mode when the phone is on its back?

Hi - when I hold my phone with iCamViewer running, the app will automatically switch between portrait and landscape modes when I turn the phone 90 degrees. I prefer the landscape mode, since it shows the IP camera's stream across a larger area. However, if I set the phone down while in landscape mode, the app automatically goes back to portrait mode once the phone is laid down flat on its back. How can I force the app to remain in landscape mode when the phone is on its back?

Thanks!

A customer emailed us with the following question related to our iCamViewer surveillance camera iphone app:

I got the VS7100 along with the Icamviewer app on my iphone. I can't seem to get this to work - is there additional setup instruction available?

Here is the answer:

In order for the Vivotek VS7100 network video server to work with the iCamViewer app, you must set the 1st video stream to MJPEG, by doing the following.

1. From a web browser login to you VS7100
2. Click on the Configuration link on the left side of the screen
3. Then click on the audio & video link on the left
4. On the Audio & video settings screen set the mode to JPEG for the first stream as seen below:

Note: you can still use set the 2nd stream to MPEG if you want to record MPEG video on your NVR.

A customer contacting CCTV camera pros with the following question:

Could you please advise if you have a product that can convert a couple of outdoor analog PTZ cameras which are still in good order, into Internet protocol transmission and control.

In particular I'm wondering whether you have a product that will handle these legacy cameras and facilitate accessing and controlling the PTZ controls via an iPhone.

CCTV Camera Pros recommendation:

Thank You for contacting CCTV Camera Pros. Yes, you can use a network video server, also known as an IP video server, to turn the analog signal of a CCTV camera into a digital IP signal. This effectively converts your CCTV camera into an IP camera. We have two brands of video servers available that I recommend for your consideration, Zavio and Geovision.

This model will enable you to access your camera through the safari web browser that is built into the iPhone and iPad. The Zavio video server is and also compatible with our free iPhone app, iCamViewer.
http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Zavio-Network-Video-Server-p/v111t.htm

Here is a link to the free iPhone app:
http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/CCTV-Camera-iPhone-App-s/362.htm

The iCamViewer unfortunately does not support PTZ controls at this time so it is really better for non-PTZ cameras. You can control the PTZ of the camera from Safari using the Zavio video server. Please also be aware that the remote viewing and controls work great from a Windows PC through Internet Explorer.

The second choice is Geovision video servers which can be found here. There is a 2 channel and 4 channel model available.
http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Geovision-Video-Servers-s/435.htm

The Geovision video servers offer a free iPhone and HD iPad application that does support PTZ controls. In addition, like the Zavio server, the Geovision server also lets you connect to your camera from Internet Explorer and the controls work great from there.

One other option if you are considering to replace your legacy CCTV DVR or VCR is our iDVR. Our iDVR video surveillance recorders are network capable and have one of the best iPhone apps available. The iPhone app supports remote PTZ controls. Please take a look here when you have a chance:

http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Internet-Video-Surveillance-DVR-s/424.htm

You will find on that page many screen shots and videos that show the iPhone app.

Please let us know if you have any further questions regarding converting a CCTV camera to IP camera or anything else related to video surveillance.

This list was updated on 12-22-2011 and contains the current model IP cameras, network video servers, and CCTV surveillance DVRs that are compatible with the iCamViewer iPhone app.

A customer contacted us today with the following questions regarding iPhone surveillance.

On the iPhone security camera systems please explain the following:

1. What is needed on camera feed side to make the camera accessible on an iPhone?
2. Can my iPhone store images or notify me in someway when there is motion or activity? i.e vacation home monitoring
3. Can I use the camera in another country and access through my iPhone in USA?

CCTV Camera Pros responded with the following information:

1. In order to access a live cam video feed from your iPhone, you need have a few choices.
   1) You can use a iPhone compatible IP camera and access the camera directly from the Safari we browser.

   2) You can use our iCamViewer CCTV camera iPhone application with a compatible IP camera or IP video server. You can see more information on this here:
   http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/CCTV-Camera-iPhone-App-s/362.htm

   2) You can use an iPhone compatible recorder such as our iDVR H.264 stand alone DVR or Geovision PC based surveillance recorders.

2. If you use a Geovision system or an iDVR, the system can be configured to email you on alert.
3. Yes, you can setup a camera in another country and access the live video from your iPhone within the US as long as there is a high speed Internet connection at the location of the camera and it is connected to the Internet.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Sincerely.
-Mike

I have a GV-800-8, using Geovision version 8.3, I have 3 user accounts, and the Guest account is also active. When any of the users log in using the GV-iView, even through the "Guest" account, all of my cameras are there for viewing. None of the viewer privileges apply. If I log as "Guest" using my web browser, only camera 1 is available for viewing, which is how it's supposed to be. Have I not set up the user accounts properly for GV-iView?? There are some cameras that I dont want some users to have access to.

re.: iPhone app - can't add second camera?

Hi, I am using the iPhone iCamViewer app successfully to view a IP camera, but I'm having difficulty adding a second camera.

When I click on the + button at the top-right corner of the screen (in the My Cams" view), the app goes to the same exact screen as the Config button. Thus, the + button is not allowing me to add a second camera, but instead is overwriting the settings of the first camera with the settings of the second camera.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

CCTV Camera Pros has been asked several times if a router is required in order to view an IP camera from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

The answer is yes, is order to view the live video of a network IP camera from an iPad, iPod touch, or iPhone, the camera must be connected to a network router, either hard wired with Ethernet cable or wireless / WIFI. The Apple device can then connect to the camera by also connecting to the same wireless router.

If a user wants to access the camera video from outside of the local area network, then the user must setup port forwarding in order to allow access to the camera from the Internet. More information on setting up port forwarding for security cameras and DVRs can be found here:

http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Internet-Surveillance-Setup-s/156.htm#port-forwarding-setup

A customer contacted us with the following questions related to choosing the best surveillance camera to mount outdoors near the ocean:

I have a beach house on the Gulf of Mexico. I have a wireless security monitoring system monitored by a company from a remote call center. Basically a motion detector system and some contact closures.

I want to add remote monitoring of my own using an iPhone 4. I have ATT DSL service, along with an Apple Time Capsule wireless router.

I would like to have two devices that do the monitoring that can be seen on the iPhone, one interior and the other exterior. I am concerned about corrosion from the salt air for the exterior system.

Do you have some suggestions?

CCTV Camera Pros suggested the following solution:

Thank You for contacting CCTV Camera Pros. The exterior camera near the Ocean should definitely be a high quality weatherproof camera. Vandal dome cameras tend to hold up better because everything is enclosed really well. Please take a look at this vandal dome camera. It is IP67 weatherproof rated which will hold up well in the harsh climate near the ocean and salt in the air:

http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Vandal-Dome-Camera-p/dpro-as700.htm

For your interior, please take a look at this interior dome camera:

http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Dome-IR-Camera-p/dpro-9620vfw.htm

If you connect both of these camera to this 4 channel video server, you can access your cameras from your iPhone or iPad with the free app that is included:

http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Geovision-Network-Video-Server-p/gv-vs04h.htm

Here is a direct link to some screen shots of the iPhone app and a demo video:
http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Geovision-Network-Video-Server-p/gv-vs04h.htm#iphone-app-images

Please let me know what you think and if you have any questions.

Sincerely.
-Mike Haldas

Hi I'm hoping I can get some help here. I can view my cameras over the internet using the supplied software and using internet explorer with active x enabled. All ports forwarded and everything works fine.

My problems start when I try to connect with my itouch, I use cplayer (free from app store) to connect. When I try to connect via my LAN the player says connecting...buffering..100% then blank black screen or sometimes exits the application.

I'm using a unbranded H.264 dvr with 4 cameras.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Cheers

Pat.

In order to access a Vivotek IP camera from the iCamViewer iPhone app, stream 1 of the camera must be set to type MJPEG.

The below instructions were used to setup a Vivotek IP7361 for use with the app.

1. Login to the camera on a computer using Internet Explorer
2. Click on the configuration link on the main camera webpage
3. On the System Configuration screen, click on the Audio and Video link
4. Click on the Advanced mode link
5. Click on the Video quality settings link for stream 1. Set to JPEG. It is recommended that you set the Frame size to 640x480 because the app in reality does not use any resolution higher than 352x240. Also adjust the Max frame rate to 5fps and Video quality to excellent.
6. Click on tje Video quality settings link for stream 2 and adjust these settings any way you want. The iCamViewer app does not use any MPEG settings.
7. Click on the Save button on the bottom of the screen
8. Add the camera settings into the iCamViewer iPhone surveillance app by follow these instructions.

Please post any questions to this support forum thread.

A customer recently contacted CCTV Camera Pros with the following question related to controlling a PTZ camera using an iPhone app or iPad app:

I have a Panisonic DVR system with 6 PTZ cameras installed at my residence. I want to view and control them from iphone or ipad. Can your iCamViewer app do this? If so, what encoder(s) would you suggest to add?

CCTV Camera Pros response:

Thank You for contacting us and for your interest in the iCamViewer App. As of right now, the iCamViewer is not an option for PTZ controls. Support may be added later this year but right now it does not support PTZ controls from the app. Also, typically the cost of adding a network video servers for each of your PTZ cameras ends up being equal to or greater than the cost of a CCTV DVR that natively supports remote PTZ camera controls via an iPhone app that is made specifically for that DVR.

If you are using standard analog PTZ cameras that use RS-485 for the controls, you may want to consider a new DVR (unless the manufacturer of your DVR is developing an app sometime soon). If you are open to this, I suggest checking out our iDVR-E series stand alone DVR or a Geovision PC based surveillance DVR. There is a new iPhone app available for it that is one of the best I have seen on the market besides Geovision (which is a PC based system that we also supply). Please see the below links to these two options as well as some additional information such as screenshots of the apps and setup instructions. Please let me know your thoughts.

A customer contacted CCTV Camera Pros with the following question:

Please provide information about your products. I recently bought an iphone and an ipad. My hope is to buy a security cameras for my house and car. I want to keep video surveillance on these areas. I will be VERY close to the cameras, within 10-20 feet at all times.

My hope is to find a camera that will transmit a WiFi signal directly to the iphone without the use of a router.

Below are parts of your ad about the Zavio F210A IP Camera. The ad says that you can watch this camera directly from the Safari web browser. Please give me your best advise.

CCTV Camera Pros provided the following response to the customer:

Thank You for contacting CCTV Camera Pros. Unfortunately, you will need a wireless router in order to view the cameras from your iPhone. There is no way that I know of to connect a device directly to the iPhone (peer to peer) unless you use Bluetooth technology, and there are no security cameras on the market that I know of that use Bluetooth.

The Zavio F210A IP camera would need to be connected with an Ethernet cable to your wireless router, then your iPhone connects to that router over the wireless port. You could then view the camera video and control the settings of the camera through the Safari web browser app or you could view the security camera live using our iCamViewer iPhone app:
http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/CCTV-Camera-iPhone-App-s/362.htm

It would work the same way for all IP security cameras available. Please let us know if we can help further.

Follow up questions from the customer:

I appreciate your reply. Your answer means that ALL cameras need a router to interface with the an iphone or ipad. But, wireless cameras means "no wire", and therefore this type does not need an Ethernet cable; right ?

My project is to put a back-up camera in my older Prius. I hope to use my ipad as the monitor or view screen. In order to increase my angle of view, I was hoping to put in two or three different cameras aimed out the back. What is your suggestion for a working system? The cameras will need night vision. The cameras and router will need to be fairly sturdy since they will be giggled around during regular driving.

CCTV Camera Pros Response:

You are correct, with a wireless IP camera, the camera can connect to the router via a wireless bridge, instead of being hard wired.

I do not think this type of equipment will be the best choice for a mobile camera system though. There are wired mobile solutions on the market. Although we do not carry them at this time, that is what I would recommend looking into.

Please let me know if I can help with anything else.

Is there sound on GV-iView? I've done some quick research and can't seem to determine if it does have sound.

If it doesn't, is there any alternates? Android or another iPhone app?

Thanks

any help will be great, I have check and double checked all settings and I can only connect with iview with my wifi on and only from the local network that the geovision is running on???

Hi,
I'd like to know if it's possible to hear audio with iCamViewer application.
If not, is it possible with some other Iphone applications or it's a limitation of Iphone streaming playback capabilities (mjpeg etc.).

Best Regards,

Leo Caglia

A customer recently contacted CCTV Camera Pros on chat and was asking about the compatibility of the iPhone with the IRS dual codec DVRs.

iPhone User:
i have a irs dual codec dvr can i remote view on my iphone?

Customer Support:
Hi Eric, unfortunately the IRS dual codec DVR is not yet compatible with the iPhone and I do not have an answer from our manufacturer if it will be supported. Another option for people is to add a video server for any channels they want to view from the iPhone. These are two options:

what do you think of the quality?

iPhone User:
great quality. so do i need to find the video sever thats on my system

A customer contacted CCTV Camera Pros with the following question when trying to setup his IP camera with our security camera viewer iPhone app, the iCamViewer:

What does port mean on the iCamViewer configuration screen?

CCTV Camera Pros technical support response:

Here is the long description of what a port is when used in the context of IP equipment, including video surveillance systems:

In network video surveillance systems, a port is an application or process software construct serving as a communications endpoint. The port is used by transport Layer protocols of the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP), such as Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP). A specific port is identified by its number, commonly known as the port number, the IP address with which it is associated, and the protocol used for communication.

The complete definition can be found here on Wikipedia here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_number

All IP cameras, network surveillance DVR, and network video server runs a web service on a certain port which allows client applications to connect to it in order to view video and in some cases access settings and controls. Please consult your devices user manual to see which port your camera uses.

If you can not find it, please let us know the manufacturer and model # of the device you are trying to use with the iCamViewer iPhone app, so that we can help further.

I have the Zavio D6111 and F210A cams up and running. I need to figure out how to set them up to work with the iCamViewer iPhone app remotely. The setup instructions you included on your site show an iPhone screen image with Port 9090 identified while setting up new cameras. Is that the HTTP port in the zavio camera settings? Or is that the RTSP or RTP ports, or some other ports I'm missing... And are those then the port numbers I need to forward on my router?

Thanks!

A customer contacted us recently and asked the following question related to Axis IP cameras and iPhone and iPad apps:

We have 3 axis IP cameras used at our business and would like to monitor the cameras from home and when we are away from the office using out iPhones and iPad. Does the iCamViewer iPhone app support Axis IP cameras?

CCTV Camera Pros response:

Actually yes. CCTV Camera Pros recently intergrated Axis cameras into the iCamViewer iPhone app, which also works with the Apple iPad. For more information and to download the iCamViewer application, please check out these pages:

http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/CCTV-Camera-iPhone-App-s/362.htm

http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/iphone-apps/axis-ip-camera-app.html

I installed Zavio (Model: F312A) and been using your iCamViewer from my iPhone, it was working fine. Until today when I upgraded my Zavio IPCam's firmware (version: LM.1.6.16.05_ZAV.F312A) to resolve some bugs, I no longer able to view from your iCamViewer. It display a message "You are seeing this message because you have not yet set up a camera, or there was a problem connecting to the camera with the settings provided......". But I am using the same setting, the IPCam is having the same setting after the upgrade and I can view the video from my iPhone's Safari browser. I delete the setting and reconfigure again in iCamViewer, still having the same problem.
Any changes needed from my router configuration on the port forwarding? Currently, I have "http" application on the list.
I am hoping you can help me to resolve the problem and I can continue use this iCamViewer app, because I find it very user-friendly with nice and simple feature. Waiting for your respond, thank you very much for your support.

Just wondering if it is possible to use an i-phone as a recording device to record video files from an IP camera/s.
This would overcome the need to have my PC running constantly to capture movement activated videos.
Am open to any suggestions as the only kit I have at present are 2 i-phones (3G & 3GS).

A customer contacted CCTV Camera Pros with the following questions:

I wanted to see if your company can assist me with my security camera & DVR needs. Here is what I'm looking for:

I would like to have 5 cameras connected to a DVR for recording. In addition to remotely monitoring the cameras via the Internet and the local network, I would also like to monitor the cameras from iPhone using cell phone coverage, ie. 3G, Edge.

Is this setup possible? If so, would you please respond to this email at your earliest convenience.

CCTV Camera Pros response:

Yes this is possible using either our iDVR stand alone DVRs or Geovision PC based DVRs. They are both great solutions and both offer remote viewing using the iPhone as well as a laptop or desktop PC. The Geovision system is higher end with a very nice native iPhone app, GV-iView, for camera viewing. The iDVR is a more economical solution where you access the cameras from the safari web browser for iPhone access. Here are links to the two different DVRs:

Also the following IP video server is compatible:

which makes any of the CCTV cameras on our website compatible also.

You can find compatible CCTV cameras here:

• Bullet security cameras
• Dome security cameras
• Infrared security cameras

Last, CCTV Camera Pros iPhone application has been submitted to the app store and should be available within the next 7 to 10 days after Apple reviews and approves it. Our app will be available for free and will also support these camera models and many others.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Sincerely.
