iPhone / PC webcam app to monitor dog at home

MoRT489 · 3 Apr 2012 at 10:33

Hi all,

I'm looking for an app that will allow me to stream live video from my laptop webcam to my iPhone to monitor the dog when I'm not home.

Requirements: must work on wifi and 3G connections, have low bandwidth usage (I'm on a PAYG system with no internet bundle) and be accessible from more than one iPhone.

Thanks in advance.

Splashtop do one, just search the appstore for splashtop, can't remember its full name. Not sure if it meets requirements either!

Couldn't you look at it another way and look for an application that runs on your laptop that broadcasts the webcam feed to the internet, then just browse to that on Safari?

I don't know of anything off the top of my head, but another way of looking at it!

Thanks oli I'll take a look.

cotton, that could work but might not be suitable for low bandwidth as opposed to an app optimised for the purpose.

Looks good, do you use it?

I have played with it briefly but have no real use for it.

There's a lite version you can try for free.
