If your iPhone is setup to receive emails, you already can receive captured images on your iPhone. Simply use the email address that you have setup for your iPhone in the textbox of the iGotchr!, set the motion sensitivity and press the Start button.

What do the sensitivity settings mean?

Once you have entered your email, and have a valid trial or paid account; you can choose the sensitivity settings to suit your capture preference.

When set to "High Sensitivity", the motion detector will respond to small movements and send captured images to your email. Conversely, if you set it to "Low Sensitivity", larger movements are necessary to trigger an image capture.

How do I get started?

Can I use PC webcams?

Yes! PC Webcams work "out-of-box" as long as your webcam drivers for your operating system is correctly installed. So all you need to do is to visit http://www.igotchr.com and you should be able to see your webcam turned on.

To change settings for PC webcams, right click on the video viewport and go to Settings. Select Video tab and choose your video device from the dropdown box.

For iMac, MacBook and MacBook Pro, iGotchr! blends in well with the built-in iSight camera on your computer.

For most first time users on Mac OSX, you need to setup iSight to be selected in the settings.

To do this, you will:

Hover over the blank video area
Hold the "control" button and click on your mouse
You will see the context menu, select "Settings..."
Click on the "Video" tab and select "USB Video Class Video" from the dropdown menu.
You should see your iSight is now enabled.

Getting Started!!

Hello! and welcome to iGotchr! FAQ site.

I created this blog as a place to share some of the questions I receive about iGotchr.

First and foremost, we like to note that iGotchr! is compatible to most operating systems, Windows, Linux as well as Mac OS. It is also tested with browsers such as Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari.

With most systems equipped with a webcam, iGotchr! should pretty much work "out-of-box". All you need to do is to visit the web link at http://www.igotchr.com
