A basic photo application which allows for zooming, panning, rotating, mirroring, and framing of both image preview and capture when using IP cameras providing an rtsp image stream. This app is very similar to both the iOS versions SCSnapShot for built-in cameras and SCSnapShotIP for http cameras. Moreover, there is a macOS version available as well.
Important: All connections to cameras are currently made using CC_MD5, a function which is declared cryptographically broken by Apple. Therefore, this app is currently designed to be used within a properly secured and trusted local area network or externally via a VPN or some other secure method.
Images can be automatically cropped when saving to Photos (if AutoCrop is on in Settings). Zooming is not limited to the center camera preview. You can frame/crop the preview or captured image to the five standard frame sizes of 3x5, 4x6, 5x7, 11x14, and 4x5, or dynamically create your own (long press then drag within image). Moreover, a frame can be adjusted for fine tuning. Lastly, image zoom, pan, and framed area can be locked to prevent accidental changes while mirroring or rotating and before saving image; long press either the frame or lock buttons at bottom to toggle between their locked and unlocked states.
The preview can be rotated and/or mirrored to account for physical orientation of the device and its intended use in Settings. Captured images can be rotated and mirrored using simple gestures (rotation gesture and two-finger swipe either horizontally or vertically). Additionally, a two-finger double tap undoes any applied rotation or mirroring of captured images. The preview and captured images automatically rotate with the device in addition to any set and/or applied rotation.
Important: IP Camera resolution and other camera features must be set via the cameras own interface software or web portal, as SCSnapShotRT simply requests and then displays the video stream provided by the IP camera.
SCSnapShotRT has been designed around the capturing of images which can subsequently be quickly rotated, mirrored, and cropped as needed. At this point separate image editing tools are necessary to perform all other image manipulation that might be desired after capturing and then saving images to Photos.
The Amcrest 1080P, Amcrest IP8M, Amcrest AD110, and Reolink RLC-410 IP cameras are currently being used for development and testing.
P.S.: Knowledge of URL(s) for one or more rtsp compliant IP cameras connected to your local area network is required when utilizing the Sources dialog (upper right-hand button on primary interface - the gear) to configure connection(s). Currently a web search is required to determine an rtsp URL for a given make and model of IP camera. Note, not all IP cameras have rtsp streaming support. Finally, actively monitored security system cameras may very well not support rtsp streams and/or can be encrypted, preventing any access to the video stream.
