    I've tried several on Android and iPhone. On Android I was having good luck with Onvier, but now having the problem with freezing after a few seconds. Just started with XMeye and the stream is solid, no problems. On iPhone, two different ONVIF apps were unable to connect to the camera at all...

    [Newbie Q] Do I need a dedicated PC for v small IPcam system?

    Hi folks, I don't have any IP cams yet but am planning to get a few (between one and three) to monitor the front on my house.
