Comments on RaspiCam Remote for Android

★★★★★ A Google User · Aug 24, 2015

Works fine right out of the box on my Nexus 5, but there is a 4-5 sec. lag, which may be due to the way the camera is set to stream on the Pi, or in the VLC video player settings.

★★★★☆ Barry Lankford · Oct 16, 2015

It works well on my Nexus 7 But there are some issues: One, although H264 works well for continuous video, in the intermittent mode set for 0.1 sec/frame, I only get one frame every 1 to 2 secs. Two, it doesn't correctly remember my password, and I use a long password that is very tedious to type in with the on-screen keyboard, especially since you can't see mistakes. I'd also like to be able to address my RPi's by hostname rather than by IP and be able to turn off the automatic scan. Hostnames work well with most of my other Android network-enabled apps, 'Juice' and 'Remote Ripple' for example. Five stars if fixed! Still a great app as is. Thanks.

.it was a great App, but it has stopped working recently after an update. Contacted the app developer, looking forward to fixing it.

Thank you! Excellent and easy. A quick installation of webcam on the pi and USB cam works great. Like the use of a password too. A simple setting change on the router and can now view the cam anywhere in the world.

Doesn't work Connected easily, but there's major lag between button presses and anything happening. Many of the settings like brightness don't work, and every time I tried to save a picture, only part of the photo saved, the rest of it was blank. The photo quality was really poor - much worse than using my picam on its own! :(

★★☆☆☆ Samer Afach · Oct 30, 2021

Doesn't work after changing the device. Seems like the SSH known_hosts can't be reset

★☆☆☆☆ A Google User · Feb 23, 2014

Bad not working to my both device galaxy s3 and s2 :(it says connection failed all the time

★☆☆☆☆ MetalGuts · Jun 17, 2020

I want to give 5 stars but a tutorial explaining how to connect would be helpful. I have put in my ip address, but it says connection failed. My knowledge of Raspberry Pi ends soon after switching it on. Please help.

★☆☆☆☆ Andrew Camels Butt · Oct 11, 2016

Terrible app there's a huge lag when trying to view what you intend to take aphoto of and if you change settings the view constantly reloads the view which results in a partial photo and huge white area...pointless and waste of space
