Ability to save All settings (a backup file) to Dropbox or iCloud.
I would like the ability to Save a backup to Dropbox and iCloud. This way, if you corrupt your settings, or your better half wants to easily configure her phone, you can Import the saved backup.
32 votesWe love this feature – but worry that placing personal data out of your control could be a challenge. But we will investigate.

Enable landscape view of 4 or more camera in parallel
Allow user to select a grid type (4, 6, 9) cameras and show them in landscape view in parallel.
61 votesThis is planned for DVR/NVR support and should have it for Android first and then iOS.

I would like to watch online 2,3 and etc. cameras at same time.
In my case, I would like to see several cameras at same time, where I can choose the grid type. For example, 2 cams will be in full screen where it will be divided in 2 parts in iPad.

Enable Zoom and Optical zoom for cameras
E.g Zoom for the R2
52 votesCurrently re-writing all of our scripts. Once we’ve done this should be easy to add this feature.

Alert Zones
Would be great if we could "color in" a part of the camera's view where we want motion alerts to come from. That way I could exclude the window with the waving branches, or the busy street out front.
51 votesThis feature is planned as well – it requires a bit of work on both the camera interface, our app interface and our server interface. But it is in the pipeline for more control.

Would love to see a Windows 10 PC desktop version of this software
Would love to see a Windows 10 PC desktop version of this software

Maybe, it depends how many users actually want this and how much effort it would take on our behalf. Even so, this will not be the case for a long time.

I need to be awoken when a mentally challenged individual is wandering at night.

Supports Foscam cameras using the P2P port address and P2P UID for Port Forwarding.
Would like the ability to use the P2P UID and P2P port address for port forwarding for Foscam cameras.
11 votesFoscam has a lock-down on this feature – they do it very differently than other providers and may have some challenges supporting it without their help. We also are worried about using P2P since it means that the cameras continuously communicate to the outside world. Some people have expressed concern about this: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2016/02/this-is-why-people-fear-the-internet-of-things/

Add a button in UI to reboot the camera
Would like to initiate a reboot from the app
11 votesUPDATE 6/12/2016:
Couldn’t agree more, more than likely a long term planned feature.

Audio level Threshold under which phone will be mute
Would like a feature where the sounds will mute under a certain threshold. That will allow to monitor a baby for example leaving the phone for the night with the app open and not wake up from every little noise the baby makes.
18 votesWe do plan on this “audio squelch” — the challenge has been the time and focus to deliver on this feature. We have an upcoming update that should add some power to the player on iOS which can make the squelch much easier.

Remove World Cameras
Any way to remove the public webcams from the app? It gives me a HUGE false since of security to see all these camera feeds along side my personal cameras.
46 votesWe have had too many people complain if we remove the World Cameras – but we will likely offer it in the Advanced Settings in the future.

Support Other Camera Account Privillages
Original title - Viewing cameras without needing adminstrator rights
Hey Daniel here - Just merged this idea with few duplicates, makes it easer for my to reply to everyone. I've also tweaked the title to make it more generic for all cameras rather than just Foscams.
It should be possible to set up/view Foscam camera streams for example as "operator" or "guest" as well and not only with "administrator" rights. This would be much more secure.
82 votesUPDATE 12/12/2016:
I have merged a few other ideas into this one, makes it easier for me to reply to you all!
We know this is a potential problem for some – we have needed to revamp the authentication features for the iOS app – which we are still addressing. It definitely something we are looking into though!

Support H.264
We need support for cameras that have H.264 video streaming. Some DLINK cameras have this (DCS2332L).
7 votesThanks for the suggestion and request. Much appreciated.

Swipe sideways to switch cameras
When watching a camera, swipe left and right to view the next or previous camera when multiple cameras are available.
26 votesWe are considering this feature – the real challenge is that some of our users love the pan/tilt on the camera via gestures – so this makes it more difficult. But we will seriously consider this.

VPN Support
Original post - "External access through OpenVPN would be very appreciated."
We get quite a few requests to support VPNs in general. Feel free to add your vote here!
61 votesUPDATE: 7/12/2016
Note: Changed Request title
Definitely something we will be adding in the future.
Workaround/ fix for Android:
VPN are not supported because of the way our app binds to the port.
I personally use a VPN on my Android phone; the way I get around the issue is discovery and setup the camera’s without my VPN turned on. Once you’ve done this and all the camera’s are setup, you can then switch your VPN back on.
I’ve only tested this on my phone (Samsung S6), as the other devices in the office do not have VPN setup on them, so this isn’t a guaranteed fix.
Daniel :)

has different viewing layout options
for example, instead of viewing camera feeds one after the other, maybe an option to view in blocks of 4
25 votesWe are looking into this – at the present time, we have to focus on generating some of the more complex features while raising money. We will get to other layout options on the phone and on the tablets in the coming year.

Background Audio - Play audio when app is closed
I Love this app. I do wish, for those of us who use their cameras as baby monitors, that it had the ability to provide audio for the camera even when the app is minimized and the screen is locked similar to what Pandora does. I know I don't want my screen on all night while I am watching a sleeping baby.
69 votesUPDATE 6/12/2016:
We are aware of this – and it will require a rework of the video player to support the audio separate from the video and to be able to keep the battery use at a minimum.
We actually have someone looking at this right now. So we are one step closer to implementing this feature

Foscam FN3108XE 720P Security Surveillance NVR Kit
I suggest that the OWLR app Foscam FN3108XE 720P Security Surveillance NVR Kit. The current Foscam NVR app requires you to have a online account and you can only view the camera on 1 device at a time. Please put this on your list of new products. Thank you.
11 votesThank you for the request and suggestion. If this is voted by more clients, it can stand a chance of being added, keep voting.
