Play IP camera video recordings from a cloud or local FTP server
This is a lightweight tool for playing IP camera video recordings from a cloud or local FTP server.
You need first to configure your IP camera to record to a FTP server (on your local network or cloud). To do this, you will need to use the builtin software for your IP camera. This app does not yet support configuring the FTP settings for your IP camera
When configuring the IP Camera for recording, our recommendation is to set it to record on motion detection.
After your camera is configured to record on your FTP server, add the same FTP connection details of your camera in this app.
Main features
- add/edit FTP connection details for the location where your IP camera is recording.
- browse for the working dir on the FTP server
- view camera recordings in a file list
- filter the recordings by preselected or custom filters (All, Last 7 Days, Yesterday, Today, Custom)
- view recording one at a time by tapping on a video file in the list
- in the player screen you are able to play, pause, seek, see progress.
This tool was tested with records from Foscam C1, Foscam FI9851P, Foscam FI9816P, but it will work with any CCTV or IP camera brands that support FTP recording (Hikvision, Dahua, Armcrest, etc).
Uses VLC library to play the video files.
