Potential location to provide a space for user contributed ideas and code for the excellent RPi Cam Web Interface found here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=63276

Startup Commands
Assuming the camera starts on boot, to have the camera image automatically rotate after rebooting the Pi, enter the following command in /etc/rc.local after the raspimjpeg command:
echo 'ro 270' > /var/www/FIFO
This startup command will change the stream to Image Mode:
echo 'pm' > /var/www/FIFO
If you wish to issue more than one command at startup, you'll need to put the sleep command in-between them:
echo 'pm' > /var/www/FIFO
sleep 1
echo 'ro 270' > /var/www/FIFO
Remote access to website with User/Pass and changing port

Configure Timelapse
Please note - a time-lapse feature will soon be built into RaspiMJPEG itself so the web-interface doesn't need to be running while capturing images. Therefore use the instructions in this link with caution.

Use nginx web server instead of Apache
This could cause difficulties when silvanmelchior releases an update because it would try to install Apache again

View video stream on an iDevice / Smartphone
Credit goes to Oke for the original post. A few more tweaks added for iPhone app. http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=507756#p507756
- On the Pi, run:
