Better support for Mac and Iphone and I’ll bu immediately. Have to look elsewhere for now.

That’s an awesome tip, Andrew - thank you!

I’ve just paid my 59 pence and within 2 minutes I have Henry’s Webcam streaming live to my iPhone in a nice widescreen aspect and without having to type in my user name and password every time.

Unfortunately the software is a little flaky and it loses the stream after a couple of minutes (although it does seem to come back eventually), but hopefully they can resolve this with an upgrade. It would also still be nice to find a solution that can stream the sound too, but you can’t have everything I suppose!

Great write up.. Have to say I agree it is a great toy … I mean baby monitor. On the iPhone compatability I did find a useful app that allows you to link to the stream directly. Try Smartvue which is 99c or 59p. Map your ycam as follows and you have a full screen link to your baby:

Http://[user]:[password]@[ip location of webcam]/stream.jpg

Eg
Http://admin:1234@192.168.0.5/stream.mpg

Have fun
