Would be really nice app but in my case it's way too buggy at least on Oppo X5 Android 14. 1. App continues to eat batter even after the server is stopped and app is closed (tried force stop also but didn't help). This alone makes it unusable or at least I need to uninstall it after using. Tho after uninstalling the andorid camera app itself started eating batter in background so serious compatibility issues it seems. 2. Many settings don't seem to work. At least rotating and flipping do nothing

so far I got it working over the internet which was my goal. time will tell how stable is the app (which its very important for me), but it does look good so far. taking one star off because the webserver seems to be too heavy for Android and crashes firefox (... stream works perfectly fine over either a dedicated cam app, or VLC). I'm very impressed with the night vision settings.
