- NO http 1.0 profile

- PTZ control active (checkbox)

- default settings for PTZ control

Report:

After get the right settings on the video server from axis to have access on all three PTZ cameras (ptz control possible) i had pushed the start button. Wow i was impressed over how fast the video comes up. I have done the test with 1, 2 and 3 seconds refresh time. It was working.

Next test was the PTZ control. All buttons are working (left, right, up, down). Only the >< wont work. I think this is a part from the HOME position. I don't have setup the home position. One point for the next test today.

Next point was the full screen test. For me was it important to have here also the PTZ functions. I had have seen no buttons. Ups, my son has touched the phone and the cam was moving. Yes, it is working in every direction (45, 90, 135, 180, 225, 270, 315, 360 degrees). Move the finger over the whole picture the cam was moving more. Put the finger on one point the cam was moving to this point, so long the point was reached (center on screen).

I have made a screenshot so you can see the quality of the picture. Great stuff rcolonel. Really a very helpfull peace of software for me and my wife. With this we have a good control of our childs (1x son 3 1/2 year, twins girls 1 1/3 year) in the night and day over at the weekend when they are sleeping.

After i have setup the home position function in the video server and startup the rcCamera app, it was able to use the home position button. Also the ZOOM + and - function was possible and is working as meaned. The ZOOM comes back to default when i used the home position button.

Both network interfaces (wifi & active sync) are working wel.

Sometimes the stop button has no reaction. When i use then the menu button a PTZ command is send Then i can stop the app only via the task manager.

This was in 3 of 10 cases. Possible my mistake, because my to big fingers ;-).

More tests:

- 3G network test (to be done)

- stop button tests

Questions:

- if there a possibillity for the 4 channel overview? This is normally only to see via browser (no topic for you !).

- i have 4 channles on the video server. How can i reach channel 2,3 and 4? I have to take a closer look in the Axis PTZ control of your app. Possible the other channels only a thing of commands. After the 2nd test i have found no possibility to connect to channel 2, 3 and 4.

- it is possible that you can add g-sensor functions?

- refresh rate is now 1 sec as minimum. Is there a smaller value possible? The server supports for every channel 6fps. The whole frame rate is is 24fps

- if sound support possible?

- if also skin support possible. When yes, i will do this for the DUSK themes.

- is there a possibilty to have one or two buttons with a command setup function. I ask because the video servers have digital out or inputs (axis settings).

-- i ask to many things :D, i know.

Conclusion:

- great software. Please go further with development. Don't stop this!

- i miss your donate button, or

- when we have to pay for this app, i will pay for it....

- i have uploaded the AXIS visca-evi driver for possible further support.

- if you have questions over the hardware and/or report please ask me.

- more tests.
