If you're running HomeAssistant, you can integrate the printer into HA, and have camera streams and full controls.
If you're not running HA, well, this is not especially useful.

Bambu-Farm self-hosted server application works well for me together with a VPN into my home network. Made to control print farms, but single printers work all the same.

Are the 3 I’ve tried for iOS, all have varying levels of control and quality, all worked at least somewhat with my Bambu X1C.
It’s also possible to control with HomeAssistant, but I would not recommend that unless you’re already using it, it’s quite overkill and complex to use just for 1 task.

I have this bookmarked from last week. Does it really work with Bambu printers?!
Yup, you just need somewhere in your local network to install it. I've been using it on my P1S since I changed it to LAN only mode a couple weeks ago.
