Report an issueSlothCam is the only iOS webcam app which supports both iCloud syncing and AppleTV/Airplay (iOS5 only).
SlothCam is a fully customizable webcam browser for all iOS devices. This app was inspired by my popular Mac OS Dashboard Widget and allows you to view multiple live webcam feeds on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Simply add your webcam URLs to the app, and swipe left and right to change views, just like the Apple photos app. SlothCam has a clean simple interface that allows you to view your webcams full screen.
SlothCam comes with a few built in sample webcams, but the purpose of this app is for you to add your own. There is no limit to the number of cams you can add, and this app can be personalized for many possible uses. For example, you can use it to monitor local traffic conditions, check on the weather in your home town, keep an eye on surf conditions, etc.
Any webcam which has a JPEG image stream is supported. You can also use SlothCam to monitor any image file on the web which is periodically updated such as satellite images, weather data, etc.
SlothCam works on all Apple iOS devices. Buy one copy of SlothCam and run it on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch! You can even export the settings from one of your devices and import them on the others.
With SlothCam you can: •Save any webcam image directly to your device's photo album. •Save a series of webcam images. •Import and export webcam lists using email. •Migrate your settings from the Dashboard widget to the iOS app. •Enter webcam lists on your Mac or PC via a webpage and send them to the iOS app. •View your list of webcams as a slideshow. •Sync webcams between devices using iCloud syncing. •View your webcams on an external monitor or TV using AppleTV and Airplay.

8 of 25I just received the instructions for AirPlay from the author Jackson Myers and the work perfectly. Here they are: Just double tap the home button and slide your applications tray to the right and you'll see the AirPlay button (iPad). On iPhone you have to side it to the right twice before you see the button. It sounds like this is just screen mirroring but once the app detects that this is turned on, it'll start beaming full sized images to your tv rather than just mirroring your screen.
I had used the Slothcam dashboard widget for a number of years and was happy to see this app available for my new iPhone. Very versatile, easy to use, integrates with iCloud, and a wonderfully responsive developer. One of my favorite apps!
The colorful sloth with the, I think, Che Guevara beret hosts this new webcam app. So far, the included webcams are not many, but the whole idea is that you can add your own webcam URLs and customize SlothCam any which way you want. I enjoyed SlothCam on my Mac as a dashboard widget, now we have it on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Definitely worth a buck.
SlothCam is a nice option for checking out webcams around the world. It works well and looks good, despite the ridiculous name.
This app lets me view all of my JPEG based webcams in one place. It helps me keep an eye on traffic and surf conditions. The default webcams are nothing special but adding your own webcams really makes this app useful.
I don't use the cloud so this does not seem to do much for me. I do like this app and wish there was a way for users to share links. It is quite hard for me to find links that work with the app. I did find the video on how to add links to be very useful. I did not know how to copy and paste on my ipad. Changing my rating from 3 to 4 as a result.
I like this for viewing road condition cams that on a website you need to click different links for each camera. With Slothcam once you have some cameras loaded all you need to do is swipe between them. Also excellent support. I needed help because I did not know when you copy a webcam image you also copy the URL and that is what you paste in Slothcam to get the webcam online. Once set up its works nice.
Very nice, please add more cams in the pre-loaded list!
