About IP Cam Remote with Audio
IP Cam Remote is a mobile and a wearable application which allows you to connect to your IP cameras remotely from anywhere. Two types of IP Cameras are supported, MJPEG (e.g. Foscam FI8910W) and H.264 (e.g. Foscam FI9821W V2). You can use the virtual joystick to pan and tilt the camera. Up to 18 IP cameras can be added to the list in the drop-down list (spinner).
Two-way audio is supported (if your IP cameras support it). Press Speaker toggle button to ON to hear the audio. Press it again to turn the audio off.
Hold Mic button to activate the microphone. Speak to your Android device to send your voice to IP camera. Release the button to deactivate the microphone.
If you hold the Mic button while Speaker button is currently activated, the Speaker will be temporarily deactivated until the Mic button is released. This is to prevent or minimize echoes.
Connection Settings dialog, Notification Setting dialog, and Screen dialog can be invoked from Android's Context Menu.
Connection Settings dialog contains the required fields which you have to fill in before the application can connect to your IP camera remotely, assuming that IP camera has already been setup successfully in your home (or office) local network. If the Connection Settings dialog is already filled in for the currently selected slot in the drop-down camera list, the information can be removed by clicking the Clear button.
Notification Settings dialog allows you to turn the email notification on and off, assuming that your email accounts have already been specified in IP camera's administrative setup. The “Enable Android notification” (MJPEG cameras only) option allows a background service to be activated or deactivated on your Android device. The notification will be created and will appear in the status bar with the alert sound when your IP camera, i.e. the one selected in the main screen, detects movements even when the app is not running.
Screen/Control/Speaker Settings dialog allows you to flip the screen and the joystick control vertically and horizontally. This might be necessary in the case where your IP camera is physically mounted upside down. The "Keep Screen On" option tells your Android device to leave the screen on without going to sleep after a period of time. The “Keep Speaker On” (MJPEG cameras only) option keeps the speaker on even when this application is put in the background (e.g. when switching to another app, when Home button is pressed, or when the screen is off).
Screen brightness and contrast (only on some IP camera models) can be adjusted by tapping anywhere in the camera's display area to bring up the adjustment bars. Under the low light condition, IR On button can be pressed to turn on IR LED lights, to enable the night vision. Pressing IR Off button will turn off IR LED lights.
Spread your two fingers apart to zoom in or pinch two fingers together to zoom out. Press and hold the camera screen for a few seconds to reset the zoom level.
The user can navigate to "Real-time IP Camera Monitoring System" by selecting "Go to Monitoring System" from the context menu.
Android Wear app for IP Cam Remote has been introduced in version 6. This wearable app is installed automatically when you install or update IP Cam Remote. It allows the user to view and update screen shots of IP cameras right from his or her wrist. To refresh the screenshot, simply tap on the watch’s screen. Scroll up or down to navigate between IP cameras. Perform a long press to bring up camera list view which allows the user to quickly jump to a specific camera. The selected camera on the watch app can be opened on your handheld app by tapping on the “Open on phone” button. For more information, please access the Help page inside the watch app.

If it's stable will be a great app of all. I tried many similar apps none of them works only this one can connect to my cameras from different makers. Only issue is it freezes and no response randomly. Otherwise this app is the best.

Great app, been using it for years. However, its in desperate need for Android 7.0 (Nougat) support. App lags, freezes and the camera moving joystick becomes unresponsive when being run on 7.0. Please fix soon & I'll gladly switch to a 5* review.

I have 5 cameras. 1 Winbook from micro center and 4 kaicong. Audio works with the micro center branded one but not the kaicong. Pan and tilt works great on the 4 kaicong cams that have this feature. Patrolling does not work on the kaicong cameras either. I would pay for it if I could use all the features with all my cams. This app needs an update. Issues with android 7.0. Freezes upon opening and have to wait to use pan/tilt or switching cameras for about a minute. Some force closes as well.

Please fix ASAP! Used to work perfectly until my Galaxy s7 upgraded to Nougat. Now it freezes every single time I open it and crashes. Why does it take so long for a fix?

It use to be a decent app, but now, it's junk. Works when it wants to work, takes forever for the sound and mic to engage, if at all. When trying to scan area, it just freezes.

Zero response from support how to add second camera/additional settings for both on and off home network. Pretty useless when I have to change settings each time to see camera depending if I'm on home WiFi or not... gotta be better apps out there!!

Good; however, small problem. After using mic to speak to someone then terminating the app, microphone for Google won't work. Requires phone restart. More noticeable indicator for speaker and mic would be nice enhancement, too.

My insteon hp ip cam works fine on their app, and on IP cam viewer app. But insteon doesn't have audio, and ip cam viewer didn't allow me to leave my home wifi. I was hoping this would fix both, but can't even get it running.

I just downloaded the app and was able to connect from the second try. First used my DynDNS URL but was not able to connect. Then I used the ip address and it connects right away. Will check the URL later and will give 5 stars if it works. Haven't checked the audio yet. So far this was the only app I got that can control the camera movement and settings. I have tried 5 others before: or nothing or the picture only.

I've had this app for years. Every time I switch phones, or my phone updates, there's a new issue with the app. Some get solved, others just annoy me daily. I have to force stop the app daily because it isn't responding or the speaker takes over a minute to come on, if it comes on at all. The app is ok but it requires patience.

I eventually worked out that it needs the http port rather than rtsp or onvif, but then all I can get is a still. No ptz functionality. Using a vstarcam c33-x4. If there's something I can do to get this to work, please let me know!

Used this app for over a year and it was working fine until last night. We use it as a baby monitor in our toddler's room and last night mine stopped working. My husband has a different app on his phone and his was working just fine. We quadruple checked my settings and everything was exactly right. Uninstalling and finding something else.

The only issue I have is that the audio is loud or soft randomly for no apparent reason. Sometimes I open the app and it's super quiet, sometimes it's nice and loud. There's no rhyme or reason to it. Also, even though I have it set to keep on audio when leaving the app, it cuts off quite frequently....meaning I have to constantly turn on the screen just to hear audio. I have several 'background audio' apps, and this is the only one that doesn't work.
