uInstarCam

 

 

uInstarCam is the video streaming viewer with an incredibly intuitive touch screen user interface for Instar network cameras. None like the ordinary IP camera applications; it not only gives the user many more options, but enables to quickly and easily add new models right after user¡¯s request through our open architecture software.

The most spectacular cutting edge techniqueof this application is the open architecture client which enables the software to dynamically update on demand, without requiring modification of the source code & Apple's update process. What that means is that we can easily & quickly support most of the models if the cams meet our functional requirements right after some tests. New models are able to be added online right after tapping a ¡°reload¡± button.

Another differentiating feature is that the new navigated digital zoom option allows the user to zoom into any part of the screen of what the camera currently displays. Although the camera can move around to zoom in, there are tight corners that you cannot zoom in with just the camera's turning points. It¡¯s possible to zoom in digitally to any part of the display screen that the user desires. Do pinch to zoom then simply press and navigate the spot you wish to zoom in. Just download and click uInstarCam to view what your camera¡¯s lens see virtually from anywhere with Wi-Fi coverage or even cellular networks.

<Note>

Before you can control your camera(s) remotely, you must to setup your router to allow incoming traffic. For security reasons, routers don't normally allow external traffic into your home/office network. You should read your camera¡¯s setup manual regarding port forwarding. For more information on port forwarding and router configuration, please see www.portforward.com

Some ISPs can block incoming connections to well known ports (80 and 8080 for HTTP, 20 and 21 for FTP, 25 for SMTP, 110 for POP3). If that is the case, you need to forward a non blocked port number in the router and map it into the camera port number.

The quality of video display(s) shown on the iPhone/iTouch may vary according the quality of the camera(s) and the data received from them. The response time of PTZ control depends on the network and/or camera capability which may cause a little bit of delay in feedback. Please tell us the model and manufacturer of the camera in which you are using for your own benefit and for the development of UBNTEK.
