Update coming? App needs to be updated to incorporate the recent changes in PI OS camera commands. I like the app, it would be a lot more useful if the GUI incorporated timelapse and video - basically an open source GoPro.
No Live Preview Not having such an expected function doesn’t help the experience. Since there is no live preview there is now way of knowing what the picture will look like before taking a pic.
Great remote control of the raspberry pi camera Is there any chance of getting support for the new HQ Raspberry Pi camera? In the past I've found BerryCam very useful for wireless control of astrophotography with the Raspberry Pi camera module. It has been quite reliable and gives access to most of the options I need. I did have to modify the python script that runs the server on the Raspberry Pi to add the time lapse parameters that I need, but that was not too hard.
Works well on pi4 Pi: Pi 4 (4gb) OS: Raspbian (Buster) Cam: V2.0 8mp Remarkably simple setup. I was able to ssh over my phone and get the necessary .py file. Thats all you need actually. Run the script and enter the ip address of the pi on the app and you’re up running. Took all of 2 minutes. I haven't ran into any of the issues others have been mentioning.
Fails to launch I updated the app to Mt rasperry pi IP address, and now it fails to launch.
would like it more if it worked every time I take a photo I get sent back to my desktop, and no picture is taken.
Very touchy (no pun intended) Sometimes this app works perfectly, and other times I get a dark green photo despite not changing any settings. Suffice to say the interface is great, and I wish there were more folks working on apps like this. From my experience this app is inconsistent, but wonderful when it is working.
Very good app for remote controlled cameras One of the problems with a remote controlled PiCam is testing the exposure options and pointing the camera precisely such as when using the PiCam for Astrophotography. By accident I found the BerryCam app and loaded it to the iPad air2 with IOS9.2 and to the /home/Pi on the Raspberry Pi model B running the May 2015 version of rasbian wheezy. I suggest making a shell to contain the long URL pointing to the startup. Once loaded set the Pi IP address into the iPad App, push the bottom center button and in seconds activity begins. I had a separate PC connected via putty.exe and could monitor /home/Pi activity, kinda neat. Also I forgot I was running 'motion' software and crontab with 2 raspistill scripts all at the same time, no crashes, 5 stars ! ! ! ! Can't wait to see future enhancements. I suggest making the IP entry a list of IP entries for those of us who use multiple PiCams at the same time and someday live video streaming.
Works perfectly! Thank you for making this app - this works great and easy to set up if you already work with a Ras Pi. But also a great app to learn with if you haven’t!
Great app for remote viewing I setup VPN on my router and there you go I have a great remote viewing app for my Pi cam. I wish if there was a full screen mode available, but no complaints
