You guys are a tough crowd. I work in the broadcast world and with even the most advanced wireless video systems encoding/decoding delays are a fact of the technology. Most wireless systems in the broadcast industry - with all of the super fast equipment in the chain at best will have a 1-2 second delay. Microwave/ CODFM systems used widely can be 2-3 seconds lag.
A 5 second lag from camera wifi to Iphone App seems to many to be high, but when you consider that the systems I mentioned above costs tens of thousands of dollars and they can't achieve instant encoding/decoding, the performance of the App is actually quite remarkable.
I am sure that these encoding/decoding speeds will, as updates become available, bring the time down to a 3-4 second delay but please remember this little device is fighting way above its weight class.
Keep those cameras safely rolling and I look forward to playing with this new app.
