Hi all. I need your help. I use Eufy wifi portable cameras to watch my kids while travelling and i use the native eufy app to stream them live on an ipad to watch them overnight. The app does not auto refresh, so if it disconnects for a second from the wifi for any reason or if the camera just automatically restarts randomly, you have to tap refresh on the app to see them again. Is there any 3rd party app for the app store that auto refreshes automatically? Even if its not compatible with eufy cameras, I will change to any wifi camera that can make this work. For example for my house, I use ivms4500 app for the hikvision cameras and if theres any interuption, the cameras auto refresh, you dont need to tap anything. Please help! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
Does the camera provide a RTSP stream or do you know if it's ONVIF-compliant? If so, that opens up many possible candiates for iPad apps.

What is the exact model number of the Eufy camera?

Hopefully it is not battery powered. :rolleyes:
 
I honestly have no idea about your first question. The model of the camera is eufy s350. If it wont work with that, Im willing to change to another one. No its not battery powered. Thank you@@
 
According to iSpyconnect a RTSP video stream is available from the s350 although it's not clear if you must have the latest firmware or not. If RTSP is available, then I'd firt try Streamie for iPad. My 2nd choice would be VLC for iPad.

Not sure if you're using the auto-tracking so if not AND neither app works for you, come back and we can suggest another camera. :cool:
