Application Settings
Application settings apply to the entire application. The Application Settings screen is accessible from the Gallery View and Matrix view by clicking the Menu key and selecting “Settings”.
Application Password
The app password can protect your cameras from people that borrowed the device to play a game. Once set, the application will ask you for this password before viewing. Clear both fields to delete the app password.
Options:
A – Enter desired application password here.
B – Verify desired application password here..
C – Don’t ask again for 5 minutes.
Viewer Settings
These settings affect the Gallery View, the Matrix View, and the Digital Zoom Mode view.
Options:
A – Enable to allow both landscape and portrait view in Gallery View and Matrix View (controlled by accelerometer). Disable to force landscape mode only (default setting).
B – Normally, using PTZ will display status messages. Check this option to disable PTZ status messages.
C – Normally, the controls in Gallery View will automatically disappear after a period of inactivity. Check this option to disable auto-hide. NOTE: you can also tap on the screen to toggle the visibility of controls.
D – Android normally dims the screen after a period of inactivity. Check this option to force full brightness in Gallery View, Matrix View and Digital Zoom Mode.
E – When leaving app running overnight as a baby monitor, use this option to automatically dim the screen after a short period. Screen will un-dim if you interact with app and then auto re-dim after the timeout period.
F – When Auto Sequence is enabled, this settings adjusts the rate at which cameras/groups are auto rotated.
G – Check to show phone’s status bar in Gallery View (default is to hide status bar to maximize screen real estate).
H – Check to show phone’s status bar in Matrix View (default is to hide status bar to maximize screen real estate).

J – Sound to play when motion is detected repeatedly (may slow down refresh rate if on).
K – Disable touch gestures to pan/tilt/zoom camera.
L – Use newer h.264 dvr code (default is on).
Network Settings
These are network related settings.
Options:
A – Normally, the app pretends to be Internet Explorer because most cameras have an Active-X user interface. However, some mobile carriers (i.e. SFR in France) block IE traffic so you can select a different User-Agent here. NOTE: some cameras are only accessible using IE user agent.
B – Amount of time waiting for connection to camera before giving up.
C –Normally, the application checks for network availability before trying to access a camera. However, some Android devices do not report network availability properly. In this case, check this option to disable network availability check.
D – Force close network connections because some cameras/routers will keep connections until a timeout period (default is on).
Home Screen Widgets
These settings are related to Home Screen Widgets.
Options:
A – Normally, widgets will not update if you are roaming on another carrier network. Check this option to always update widgets.
B – Set the Home Screen Widget refresh rate. Actual rate may be slower because 1) network is not available, or 2) the screen is off (app throttles back refresh rate if screen is off to save battery).
C – Controls the display of camera name in Home Screen Widgets.
D – Show date/time of image capture in widget (uses system default date/time format).

If HTTPS is enabled, a self-signed certificate will be used by default. To use a custom signed cert, place the signed cert inside a java keystore file (named “keystore.jks”) in the “/sdcard/IpCamViewer” path. The password for this keystore should be “password”.
