Remote Access
Can I access my camera remotely with IPCams?
Yes, but not automatically. IPCams is an independent app and does not have any affiliation with specific camera hardware. Since IPCams doesn't own both ends of the connection (app + camera), we can't setup and ensure a properly secured and encrypted connection.
Although there are some technologies like UPnP that can assist client applications like IPCams when setting up a remote connection, they are insecure which is not what IPCams tries to accomplish as a private and secure IP camera viewer.
Can I manually setup remote access?
Yes, if you are interested in remote access of your cameras, you can manually set it up yourself. Note: this is not something IPCams can help support in any way. If you have a problem or need help with it, you will more than likely need to consult your router's documentation and support.
How do I set it up?
If you are still interested in setting up remote access, there are various methods available. Here are a couple that IPCams users have recommended.
VPN (Virtual Private Network)
Port Forwarding
Are there any future plans for remote access?
We can't promise anything at the moment as the future is not set in stone, but we understand that this is feature some users like yourself might want. Check out the IPCams feature request board, particularly the secure proxy entry and vote on it and add to the conversation if the feature interests you.
