I'm trying to use an iPad as a temporary camera by utilizing the "Broadcast from Client" feature but it's not working. I added the camera to BI console per the instructions. Launched the client on the iPad and clicked the iPad camera to get things started but nothing is showing up. I tried setting the FPS setting to something lower but it doesn't seem to "stick". Here are a few screen shots that may help.

The fps setting in blue iris auto adjusts to whatever the camera is sending.....you cant set it..
Broadcast from Client App
When this camera type is selected, you will see "Off the air" in the camera window until a client connects and selects to broadcast video from the device.

Thanks @fenderman... I left the iPad connected for several minutes and it never negotiated video to display in the console. Could it take longer than 10 minutes or so?

I dont have an idevice, but i believe you need to enable streaming within the app, it wont begin streaming on its own. "and selects to broadcast video from the device."

Hmmm... I don't see a switch to enable streaming in the BI client on the iPad. I did confirm that BI has been granted access to the camera on the iPad.
