RemoteCam 1.0.12

CamRemote is now RemoteCam. Same app, same settings and saved camera passwords: updating keeps everything. The download names stay the same.

New:

• Use a camera another RemoteCam holds. A second computer can join the one connected to the camera, over the same Wi-Fi or Tailscale, and get the picture, the controls, C1 to C4, Video and Photo, S&Q and the shutter. Your own computers on Tailscale join without being asked. Use the camera here hands the camera over, and works even when the other computer has been closed.
• A better animal detector for automatic recording. It's larger and sharper, takes a closer look around the last thing it saw, and uses your graphics card when it can, so it keeps up. A person needs a surer sighting to start a take.
• A Help link and an Instagram link in every window.

Faster:

• Connecting: straight to a camera you've paired before, usually in about 3 seconds.
• A camera that's switched on, or comes back in range, is found within a few seconds.
• Live view uses the camera's quicker stream when it offers one.
• The shutter and click-to-focus wait only as long as the camera needs: a half-press now takes about 0.2 seconds instead of 0.5.

Fixed:

• Record starts and stops the way each camera expects.
• A full card that stops recording now says so.
• A camera that's gone no longer leaves its last picture on screen.
• Tap does lists only the choices your camera offers.
• On a Mac, closing no longer freezes the window for 20 seconds.

Windows may show a blue Windows protected your PC box: click More info, then Run anyway. On a Mac, drag RemoteCam to Applications. If CamRemote is already there, drag the old CamRemote to the Trash afterwards; your settings stay.
