Ive got some home security cams, and if they detect motion then they stick a picture up via ftp to a site. In firefox, I can simply browse to the site and using the extension "text to image", quickly preview the images. Any similar app on the Iphone ? I've already bought "Cam Viewer" for viewing live images.
Why not use Safari? If you are uploading them to an FTP server, just turn on a webserver and browse them via a web page.
Sorry for being a noob . How do I setup a web server so the jpegs are shown as pictures not just file names that I then have to click on . Cheers . Mat
Well there's a lot between here and there. First, is this your own server? Or is this a server you rent? Usually people rent a web server, and use FTP to upload the content. But you can have an FTP server that only does FTP. However, in either case, what you need to do is to write a webpage that links to the images. I'm assuming you've never written a webpage. It's not that hard to make a basic one. I suggest googleing for some simple how to make a website and link an image. Once you can do that, you should be able to view these images in Safari.
cheers for the replies. I was just checking there wasn't a ready made app available. I've suggested it to the developers of the cam viewer app, which is having a big update in the next 2 weeks I'll have a look around for some basic PHP code. The ftp site is hosted by my ISP, but I can run scripts etc Mat
there are apps available but they are in the range of $1000 and specific security system geared even acts as a remote for the camera if you have the money to burn...best of luck
I've been looking at PHP scripts, which should be fine although my ISP splits the PHP enabled area from the main web hosting, so I'll have to shift where I store my photos. This one should do it http://www.stadtaus.com/en/php_scripts/gallery_script/
