At this early stage, rather than rating the app, please report errors and feedback to google@veracityuk.com. Please provide as much information as possible including make/model of handheld, and make/model of camera.

A fairly high spec mobile/tablet is recommended for viewing high resolution video. ARMv7 only, Intel processors are not supported.




FEATURES

★ Lists IP cameras discovered by POINTSOURCE / PINPOINT (Bonjour & WS-Discovery).
★ Displays camera thumbnail + IP address + MAC address.
★ View camera video.
★ View camera configuration pages.
★ Access POINTSOURCE / PINPOINT device settings.
★ Retains history of URLs and credentials.
★ Built-in data for over 100 camera manufacturers.
★ Predicts values for video URL, configuration URL and credentials.
★ Upgrade your POINTSOURCE / PINPOINT firmware.

Currently, cameras from the following manufacturers have been tested: AXIS, HikVision, ISD, Mobotix, Samsung, and UDP Technology. CAMPOINT is not compatible with ACTi cameras.

Not all cameras display a thumbnail image, and some thumbnails will not appear until correct camera credentials have been entered.

Normally you plug a single camera into POINTSOURCE. However if you need to connect it to a network, for best performance, ensure that no more than 10 devices are on the network.

For best results, use POINTSOURCE / PINPOINT firmware version 1.1.6 +. (The app does not work with 1.0.11.)


HOW TO USE

1) Install and run the app.
2) If VLC Player is not already installed, the app will offer to install it. Install VLC Player and restart the app.
3) If you are not already connected to a POINTSOURCE / PINPOINT device, the app will present a link to the handheld's Wi-Fi settings. Connect your handheld to the POINTSOURCE / PINPOINT Wi-Fi.
4) The app will retrieve a list of cameras from the POINTSOURCE / PINPOINT and display them in a grid.
5) The camera list refreshes automatically every 10 secs, but you can force a refresh by tapping the refresh icon in the top-bar.
6) Clicking on a camera takes you to the Camera Login Panel where you can enter the camera's credentials and then view live camera video or visit the camera's configuration pages.
7) Tap on the settings icon in the top-bar (gear symbol) to access app settings and POINTSOURCE / PINPOINT settings.


CAMERA LOGIN DATA

The Camera Login Panel form fields (username, password, video URL and configuration URL) may be pre-filled. CAMPOINT chooses values...

* Using previously saved values for this ip-address.
* From saved values for a camera of the same manufacturer.
* From the built-in manufacturer data.

For the configuration URL only, if no suitable candidate can be found using the above, CAMPOINT falls back to suggesting just the camera's ip-address.

You can also manually edit the form fields or select from the history of previously entered values.


CONFIGURING VLC PLAYER

If you need low-latency video, best results may be obtained by turning off hardware acceleration and minimising the network buffer. However, this can result in lower quality video.

Launch VLC Player, then...
Menu > Preferences > Hardware Acceleration: Disabled
Menu > Preferences > Advanced > Network Caching Value: 100


KNOWN ISSUES

* After connecting to the POINTSOURCE Wi-Fi, it can take a few 10s of seconds before the app recognises this. ## Rankings - #875,453 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `com.veracityglobal.campoint.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [V-CAM](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mm.android.KTTVCAM) — 3,531 users - [Comelit CCTV](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.comelitgroup.tvcc) — 48,835 users - [iCamViewer IP Camera Viewer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.appburst.iCamViewer) — 1,962,543 users, 3.19 / 5 - [MyCam View](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.rdi.mycamview) — 261,726 users, 2.70 / 5 - [QCTek iViewer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.vsc.qctekiviewer) — 1,299 users - [StandCam](https://chrome-stats.com/d/de.standcam.app) — 529 users - [upCam QuickConnect Cam Viewer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cloudcorder.upcamquickconnect) — 15,797 users - [Comelit View Smart](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.gzch.lsplat.comelit) — 97,752 users, 3.00 / 5 - [COMCAM](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.vidure.comcam) — 2,407 users - [CAMCAMP Camera Guide](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.camcamp.camera.guide.camcamp_guide) — 317 users - [CCTV Super Tool: IP Camerea](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cctvwiki.cctvsupertool) — 36,006 users, 4.00 / 5 - [CabCAM](https://chrome-stats.com/d/general.aiproducts.cabcam) — 671 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.veracityglobal.campoint)
