Live List Section
What is the Live List?
The Live List is an alphabetical list of currently live cameras belonging to My Webcam users around the world.
You can choose whether or not your camera is password protected
or if you want it to show up on the list from the Broadcaster.
Only cameras that are set to show on the live list will appear on the Live List.
How do I use it?
Simply tap a camera's name to view it's live stream.
Some cameras are password protected, you will need to enter the password & press login to access them.
You can browse the list by scrolling up & down, or you can tap a letter on the side to jump straight to the cameras beginning with that letter.
(For more information on viewing cameras, see the View Webcam section)
What do the icons mean?
- A normal webcam (cannot be moved)
- A pan/tilt webcam (can be moved using the App)
- A normal webcam that is locked (you will need a password to view)
- A pan/tilt webcam that is locked (you will need a password to view)
Live List Options
To see the different Live List options available press the "Options" button on the top left hand side of the Live List.
The Options are:-
View All Cams - This will show you all the live cameras, including those password protected.
View Unlocked Cams - This will show you only the cameras that are NOT password protected. This is the default view, and is excellent for browsing cameras.
View Pan/Tilt Cams - This will show you all the cameras that can be moved from the App. Including those that are password protected.
Reload Live List - Users are regularily turning their broadcasters on & off. This will refresh the Live List with the currently ON cameras. Showing you the most up-to-date list.
(Users with the My Webcam App running in the background may want to do this to ensure they are getting the best from the Live List.)
Live List Tip
While the iPad is in portrait view (home button at bottom of screen) the live list can be moved on & off the screen away from the camera view.
You can do this by swiping left & right over the list or by pressing the 
button.
MyCam Section
What is MyCam?
The MyCam section is an area for you to log directly in to your camera(s).
You must be running your My Webcam Broadcaster to log in.
How do I use it?
Enter your My Webcam username & password
(the ones that you set up when you registered).
You can choose to save these details or not, by tapping the check box
(saving them makes logging in easier in the future).
Then tap the "Login" button. Your camera(s) should appear.
Press the "SignOut" button to log back out again.
I'm still using the PIN
If you are using an older broadcaster (pre 2.0) you can still log in with your PIN by tapping the "Use PIN" button.
However we would recommend downloading a new version of the My Webcam Broadcaster.
As the ability to use your PIN will no longer be available from the 2nd May 2011.
I have more than one camera
If you have multiple broadcasters running, using the same account (same username) they will appear as a list of thumbnail images of the cams.
Tap the camera image to see the live stream, and tap "Back" to return to the list again.
To set up multiple broadcasters on the same account you must be using My Webcam 2.0
View Webcam Section
What is the Camera View?
Once you tap a camera on the livelist, or when you log in to a camera through the My Cam section you will see the Camera View.
The camera view contains all the different components of a camera broadcast & allows you to interact with the camera remotely.
It presents you with the webcam's live stream & the webcam's archive (if it is turned on).
As well as allowing you to move the camera (if it is a pan/tilt webcam), to switch between cams (if you have multiple webcams on one computer)
& to save snapshots from the camera to your device.
How do I use it?
The camera view has many different sections and offers a number of different controls & features.
Such as:-
- Viewing the Live Stream
- Enlarging the Camera Image
- Moving Cameras
- Changing between Cams
- Saving Snapshots
- Viewing the Archive
- Deleting from the Archive
(See below for more information on how to do these)

Once you open the Camera View you will be shown the Live Stream as default.
If you open the Archive you can get back to the Live Stream by pressing the "My Webcam" tab.
Enlarging the Camera Image

button to increase the camera's image size.
(The smaller size is currently the default when you open the Camera View)
Moving Cameras
Some of the cameras can be moved.
If a camera can be moved you will see the 
icon.
(Currently only the Logitech Orbit/Sphere & the Creative Live! Motion webcams can be moved using My Webcam.)
Swiping your finger left, right, up & down will move the camera in that direction.
(Some slower cams will need a few seconds for the movements to show up on the Live Stream.)

Webcam 2.0 lets you broadcast more than one camera from your computer.
However only on can be viewed at a time.

It will run in a loop until paused
