Pulling my weight
I'm setting up a camera at a friend's place, and she has an iPhone and Macbook. I'm striking out on finding her decent apps for both.
For iOS I used to use Live Cams Pro, but alas RIP. So I tried IPCams, which sort of works but it wants to charge $30/year for PTZ controls! I also tried iDMSS Plus, which I thought is what I used to use, but it has about the worst interface of any program I've ever seen. Anyone have a suggestion by chance? I'm trying to set this up for someone who isn't very techy so simplicity is the most important part. I wish good ol Tiny Cam Pro worked on iPhone.
And for Mac, I installed Glance, but that apparently doesn't support PTZ. Any tips for a decent IPCam viewer with PTZ for Mac? Currently using a web browser, which kind of sort of works but logs her out every 10 minutes and is laggy on her Mac.
Trying to control a Dahua PTZ camera if that's a factor.
I'm guessing this has come up before but the search feature seems to be broken.
