Dark mode
Have a dark mode for the app. I use this for viewing baby cams at night. The white UI bits are too bright at night.
19 votesOh, I do love a dark theme myself. Won’t be high priority but love the idea

You can reset the clock in the web interface – we may include an option to do this in app in the far future

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.
29 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.

Foscam FI9826 Camera Features
Provide a true optical zoom function for these cameras. The current app only has a low-quality digital zoom, but the cameras have a 3X optical zoom.
Provide full brightness/contrast/sharpness/color controls. The cameras are almost useless looking outdoors without this.
45 votesWow – did not know this. We will look into this in the coming months. If there are others who need this, please add your support.

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

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.

Support Wansview 1080p NCM625GA
The Wansview 1080p NCM625GA is a confirmed camera that has a similar price point to newer Foscam IP camera's but without the terrible firmware issues. The Wansview NCM625GA is sold on amazon as Wansview 1080P 2.0MP WiFi Wireless IP Security Camera, Full HD.
The Wansview is known to work easily with Zoneminder on Linux in addition to Mac and Window's platforms.

favorite camera selectable (for direct and fast view)
It should be possible to select one of the available cameras to be the favorite one. This camera would be viewed in full-screen mode, every time the App is started. Ideally without the OWLR startup message.
For example, if one have a camera installed at the front door of the house. It would be nice to see, who the bell ring, just with one fingertip on the App symbol. This should be possible, as fast as possible.
7 votesThank you for the request. More votes will be more helpful.

Toggle Motion Detection
I use OWLR with the Foscam C1 HD camera. Your app works very well, much better than the paid apps too.
I use the C1 as a baby monitor and would like to toggle the Motion/Sound detecion from the OWLR app
The only way to do that now is to open the focam app-click on the camera-settings-alert-activity detection/sound detection-on/off
Also Video recording/iPad support will be awesome.
106 votesUPDATE 01/02/2017: Android has been out for around a month now.
iOS is out, go check on the app store

iControl Network's iCamera 1000
Please support iCamera Network's iCamera 1000.
19 votesIf the camera is voted by many clients, we will definitely consider supporting it. You now know the drill. Cheers!

Hikvision Camera Support
Hikvision is the worlds largest manufacturer of video surveillance cameras.
95 votesUPDATE 6/12/2016: We are looking into Hikvision cameras – but it will likely be in 2017.

Add Lorex camera support
I'm using Lorex MCNC100. It supports RTSP video feed.
The password for video seed is set separately. It also requires camera ID as part of the URL.
The complete URL is rtsp://<address>:554/<camera_id>.<play_video_password>
Video is mp4v (H264). Audio is PCM MU-LAW (mlaw).
If OWLR can add generic RTSP support, it is good enough to expend the list of supported devices.
25 votesWe are currently completing a rewrite of the app – and will investigate which one to include next.
-
Support Wifi Networks with No Internet
I have a wifi network that isn't connected to the Internet but OWLR won't let me add cameras on that network.
7 votesLooking into this. We discovered it and are working on solving it.

Support for the QD900wifi
This is a reasonably priced outdoor camera. I've started moving away from the old cameras and I hope to continue using this great app for the new Escam QD900 cams.
Thanks,
Ken3 votesWe will look – but right now, it is low on the priority list.
