Client iPad monitoring, IP address

[jake southard]

can't find an answer anywhere, and might be a stupid question - But how do I use the IP address for a client to monitor my V-Raptor image from their phone or ipad? I know you type :9090 at the end of it to display full screen, but where do you type the IP address to view the image? In a web browser on the ipad?

If you're using Infrastructure mode, skip to step 2. For Ad-hoc mode:

1. Connect the phone/ipad WiFi to the SSID set in the camera.
2. Use the camera's IP address in the URL like this: http://[B]192.168.1.1[/B]:9090

Hmm okay , that's what I thought but it is not working for me. I've got my iPhone connected to my camera's WiFi on Ad-hoc, typed in my camera's IP address in the correct layout in the web browser, and it does not work. Am I missing something?

Did I mention you need to enable it in Monitoring → Live Stream?

 

[jake southard]

It is currently enabled on my camera. Have you tried monitoring with the IP address? and it works for you?

 

[Alex Zeder]

Yes, it works for me with the URL I quoted above. iPad, Safari.
Do you get any errors? Do you get the full control page without the :9090 in the URL?

 

[jake southard]

Weird what the heck. Safari on my iPhone 13 just says "cant open the page because the server stopped responding". Don't know what the heck I could be doing wrong. I don't get anything before adding the :9090 either. i'm on the latest firmware, and I can monitor just fine using the Red Control app on my phone.

Before I admit that I'm almost running out of ideas: can you try it from a different device?

 

[jake southard]

Aha it works on my Macbook. Something is wrong with my iPhone 13 Pro then, glad to know my camera is working as it should! Thanks for your help alex

Your phone may be automatically switching back to another trusted network that has internet access. If that’s the case Infrastructure mode may be the better option. I’ve had that issue on my 13

Sounds very likely, I will experiment more when I get home and try airplane mode on my phone and infrastructure mode on the camera
