Viewer for Panasonic Cams App Reviews

While I was able to get this software working with my Panasonic BL-C131A, here are some comments. - There is no way to take the camera out of privavy mode, so I need to load Safari first to do that. Likewise, there is no way to put the camera into privacy mode. - When viewing a camera, the refresh is slow, even on WIFI. Each image takes about 5-7 seconds to udpate, whereas when using Safari on the iPhone the refresh is at least every second. Performance improvement needed here. - The pan/tilt option seems impossible to master by just clicking anywhere on the screen, and with the 5-7 second per image lag, it is really painful. Can we have up/down/left/right/in/out controls somewhere to use? Because of these issues, I would recommend those interested in this tool keep using Safari to access their webcams until the problems are resolved.

The app worked for my bcl130A IP camera. Easy setup.

Works well. Needs the following improvements... - Add camera specific presets - Allow for pinch zoom, even if the webcam itself does not support zoom natively (ie. digital zoom) - There is a problem on the iPad to set up DNS ViewNetCam address while on your home network. It is normal that you cant access your DNS site while on your home network. The app runs into this problem and refuses to let you set it up anyway for future use. - Allow for full screen view on the iPad. Resolution will degrade, but it would nice to have the option anyway. - Allow to get rid of the blue icon on the top left corner of the screen. Once you know how to control the pan/tilt via swipe, you dont need the icon on screen to remind you.

If youre looking for a simple way to view one or more ip cams, this works great. It doesnt have a lot of bells and whistles, but thats what I like about it. It just works.

This app does not work on a Panasonic bl c30 and you cannot get your money back!!! Should have given it to a charity!

Not so good, developer should improve almost all program

This app is a great first start at a viewer for Panasonic IP cameras on the iPad. It works great with my BB-HCM531s. Its exactly as advertised. Ive been using the IP Vision Pro app on my iPhone 3GS for some time now, but I wanted something which would take advantage of the iPads larger screen real estate. This app accomplishes that nicely. In the future Id like to see the following improvements (assuming these are technically possible): 1. Add preset and home button controls to take advantage of the cameras presets. 2. Ability to selectively disable camera feeds (without having to delete the camera feed) on the multi-camera view to free up bandwidth for the remaining cameras when on a slow network. 3. Ability to rearrange the cameras on the multi-camera view. 4. Ability to change camera feed quality (resolution) and size.

This app is terrible. No audio, no ptz, awful picture, and takes forever to load. I emailed the developer for a refund and have not heard a word. I bought it for my ipod because i have 8 panasonic cameras and i am very dissapointed. I bought a much better app from another developer for my evo and it blows this one away by far. Do not buy this junk.

This is a great app works fine for me the person that gave it a bad rating must not know how to use it I have several apps like this and this is easy to setup and worked fine

Great start with the initial platform that has been introduced. I hope that future updates will include the following features: Pan, Tilt & Zoom Its still a cool little handy application.

Very slow to load! No pan, tilt or zoom. Huge delay. Dont waste ur money. Ucamviewer app is the way to go.

This is much slower than loging onto the website. The app doesnt respond in a timely manner. It isnt ios 4 multitaskable. You cannot pinch zoom the picture. Sad I spent $4.99 on it.

Easy set up for Panasonic Blc131. Had to figure out that double tap makes picture large and it takes a little practice to get the pan to work by swiping. Way less expensive than ViewCommander for my Windows Mobile phone.

I hope audio support is planned for future updates, for BL-C131A in particular.

Re-syncd cameras (by hitting save at camera setup) and found that streaming is better, performance is now closer to native camera web page. Changing my rating from 3 to 4. Hopefully future updates will add sound and more pan/zoom options. Overall a good app. Also would be nice to have multiple App. profiles to access cameras from home (internal LAN) versus away (Internet address). ---------------------- Even after the update today, still has slower streaming than when using cameras from their native web page. Would be better to have pan a zoom work similar to native web page (pan by touching location you wish to center on and pinch to zoom). Zoom still doesnt work for me after todays update.

Paid for an app, whose description (now) noticeably leaves out any mention of sound... Safari is much better at picture and camera movement than this app. So frustrated Im even thinking of ditching the panasonic camera for a competitor... Buyer beware....

Self explanatory

Does not work. Better to use Internet access

It was a little slow on the screen ref. But it seems to work ok..

I love it.. works great.. all the bad reviews and i have no problem. I have 12 cams and all working great..
