different computers,
FIREFOX ONLY
Many of the reviews here are from people who expect this app to do things it does not attempt to do.
They are correct when saying rear cam only (that's the better camera anyway) and that there's no sound (it doesn't claim to offer sound recording). Other people here are confused, thinking that this is a WebCam you can attach directly to your computer and use to get video in Skype for example. That is not what this webcam app supposed to.
The big disappointment that I find here, is that for some strange reason, the only web browser that supported his Firefox. With other browsers you get garbage characters as if the browser is attempting to render the date of an image as the binary text. It's very peculiar it's probably small fix. I really hope the developers make note of the same changes and they quickly released patch.
I'm quite disappointed as well with people who have given this app bad reviews based on their inability to figure out how port forwarding works or even in some cases what the URL is supposed to be for the WebCam when the WebCam URL is clearly there on screen. Please read the documentation.

zuluflyer,
Works great
yep, no sound, yep you gotta lock the rotate button when viewing on an iOS device, yep you gotta adjust video quality to increase size of image--but hey the high quality setting provides an excellent quality image and the medium setting works fine. I see no reason why this app would not be worth money if it had audio. Gives you a URL you can copy and paste to share, and is viewable Safari. It really works easily. Want front camera and sound?, buy a real webcam and use a video chat like Facetime or Tango. This is app "just works" and that is its beauty! 5 stars when audio is available. But I don't need audio for a security cam.
my cat's name is Bernie,
Does what its supposed to do
I was looking for an app to turn my iPhone into a webcam that was:
1) Free
2) For use on a LAN; no WAN functionality required
3) Didn't require any additional software
This app does all of the above.
The image size, frame rate, and quality is reasonable at the "medium" setting.
What I don't like:
1) Doesn't work on Chrome and IE8. It does work on Safari (Mac & iOS) and Firefox (Mac & PC).
2) Something very weird is going on with the orientation. When viewed on iOS, the camera must be held in Portrait mode. When viewed on Safari on iOS, the camera must be held in Landscape mode. The app should read the orientation of the device and act accordingly.
3) No sound.
1) Free

Worked great. Hope to see more from developer
Worked perfectly on my iPhone 4 (4.2.1) and viewing through Firefox on notebook computer (Win 7) using 'fast mode' and the default port 80.
The video looked real time although as mentioned before, is quite small on a big screen. I guess it might look bigger if viewing from another handheld device/iPhone.
Unlike their SMS Remote app, the iAds don't get in the way of the app UI.
I don't have a 'real' webcam but have been browsing the store for something like this (but perhaps tethered also/instead) to allow the iPhone to serve as a webcam for my desktop. Figure it'd be a much better quality webcam than the rinky dink stuff found in retail stores.
I've never used a webcam with IM or any other desktop programs so don't really know much about requrements etc. Maybe Windows and OSx? already could use the iPhone as a webcam for IM and such without an app?

YueZ,
Easy to use and its free
Based on the nature of this app, sound supporting might not be possible, so Im not going to give low rating based on that.
It will be nice if this app can support data transfer while screen is locked. I know some people may dislike this feature, but at least give us the option to enable that, please.
Performance is good, I found medium quality is actually faster than low quality setting.
Overall this app worth a 5 star.

I'm very happy with what this app does for free. Occasionally, the web page would freeze, but then, all you have to do is refresh the page.
Tip: For those of you who are a little technically savvy: if you want to serve your picture over the Internet, you need to use port- forwarding on your router. Works like a charm. Plug your phone in though, if you're going to use it over an extended period of time, as it does eat batteries.
Thanks guys, great job! Keep at it. :-)

Imakeittubby,
Great app.
Its missing a couple things but its very stable and the features it does have work well..
I do have a few suggestions that I didn't see anybody else mention:
1.) A control in the web browser to switch quality.
2.) Also a "Kill" switch in the browser would be great. Just a button that either closes the app or locks the phone.

Pretty great
Mini webcam is actually a great app and now is compatible with safari. At least it is on my iPad. No, this is not skype compatible (sort of disappointed) and no there is no audio. Not to big of a deal for me. I like the fact that I can see a room in my home from my iPad. Over all rating for this app 4 stars. Make it skype compatible and I'll give you 5.
MickieKay,
WebCam not for Computer purposes????
The app didn't help what I needed it to do at all. My computer didn't have webcam so I thought it the perfect thing to help. I don't have wifi either so I plugged my iPod Touch (4th generation) into the computer,a dn logged onto Facebook. I started a videochat with one of my friends and the screen that showed up saying no camera detected. This app didn't help me with what I needed. The information given did not say that it wouldn't work plugged into the computer as a webcam. Unhelpful. Deleting from my apps.
TheDangGang,
All it needs is audio!
This app is great for using your iPod or iPhone as a security or spy camera. Those of you who think the app doesn't work, try changing the port number to a higher number like said in the instruction on the app.
