Is there a way to put up a security camera in your office and view it from your mogul??
YES
If you purchase an ip camera you would be able to view the streaming content from the camera with tcmp or wmp by entering the cameras address. You also could have the softare email your mogul to alert you of motion by entering your phones email address obtainable from your service provider usually your phone # @providers domain. Further more you could even control the camera if it supports this with flash and or java support in pie with cabs that can be found on this forum.
Hope i helped

as far as the static ip if you are cable it won't change unless you reboot the modem but if you have the camera set to email you you will have its ip address whenever their is motion anyway encase of power outage or something.
Sweet, anyone have any camera recomendations? Also any ideas on the portable wireless camera? (ie caould take it camping [place with no internet conection] and leave it in the tent [remote location viewed via wifi or blutooth] and see it on my mogul??)
Your not trying to spy on a GF that is going on a camping trip are ya?

You can also use ORB (free, orb.com) to stream a webcam from your pc. I do this when we're going out stargazing in the backyard, but want to keep an eye on the sleeping kids. Its a great makeshift video baby monitor.
For the other way around, there's an app called CoolCam which I used to use on my tornado and Wizard which can utilize the phone's camera and stream its input to an IP address. Start coolcam on the device, open the CoolCamXP software on the windows PC, and you can see whatever the phone sees. Uber-cool.
So, basically, at any given point in time I was able to watch whatever is going on at my desk on my phone by using ORB, and when at the desk, I can see whatever was going on by the phone with cool cam. It would have been nice to be able to do BOTH full duplex, like a video phone, but sadly there is no good way to do that with the current setup.
In any event, the problem now is that coolcam does not (yet) support the Mogul. It will soon.

That's sweet, I'll be keeping an eye on that one.
I also checked out kintronics but I couldn't find anything that was standalone capable.
Here's another scenario for the stand alone cam. || Camera placed at the end of a hotel hallway to monitor the outside of your room, while you"re in it. Then the camera is moved so you can check the inside of your room over your phone while you're not in it..|| I travel a lot...
Anyways I really appreciate all the advice guys keep it coming, and to anyone who can help me out with the scenario above, I just got a paypal!
I can't seem to find the coolcam app, anyone have a url?
I have the Panasonic BL-30 webcam setup at home,I use a app called ViewCommander on my Mogul to monitor my house anytime while i'm away from my home.
where did you get your panasonic bl-30 from? how much do they set you back? im looking to get a few cameras. like 3 or 4. not sure where i can go to start looking for something like that.
also, where can i find the ViewCommander App. ive searched and no go.
thanks.
thanks 2kmy477, still looking for a camera that doesn't require a wifi connection. Or wait does the mogul act like a router for the camera to connect to??? that would simplify things!! hum...

pm me if you need the ViewCommander app.
Are there any PC remote control app? Something similar to the team viewer app for iphone or another one?
Thanks!
Gmote 2.0 is kind of a remote app, mainly for media though.
It allows you to search through your files of your pc, from your phone,
and either play them on your pc, or on your phone. Has normal, play pause volume settings.
I.e. if i have an episode of family guy on my pc, i can use my phone to play it on my pc, which means i can be lazy and not move off my bed and watch it.
Also if i fancy doing it the other way round, i can stream the episode to my phone.
Only works over a local wi-fi though.
Thanks for this Phil, it's incredible and free!
It works perfectly on my Desire and Windows 7 PC (even though the installation instructions say XP/Vista).
No problemo
Only annoying thing is i cant stream most of my videos to my phone , buts that not the app fault, its fact there mostly .avi .
Great little app for us lazy people! Very useful when your watch a series of something with 20 mins episodes and you cant cant be bothered to get up and go the next one!
If any of you use MCE try myRemote, its awesome!
GRemote Pro is also awesome, not free though...
Thanks for your suggestions but I was looking for something more than just file browsing and running applications, more like having my PC desktop displayed and the mouse controllable on my desire's display.
GRemote Pro will allow you to control your mouse cursor and type etc, but won't display your PC desktop, you're talking about remote desktop software, not remote software.
For that try the LogMeIn free beta, or PhoneMyPC.

I'm sure there's a VNC client about on Android
TeamViewer and LogMeIn are both working on an android app I believe

I can Highly recommend Gmote.
Tried it today on Ubuntu desktop machine and It's awesome!
Logmein is already available. Teamviewer is still in dev.
phonemypc is awesome. The execute Actions feature allows me (with the help of the app developer), to open a MS Access database on my pc with one button press. When that database is opened it automatically runs macros within Access.
I then press another button from my Android to close the MS Access database on my PC. You can of course remotely control your PC from your android. However, as mentioned above it is the ability to one button press an action that can be a bat file on your PC.
Excellent and well worth the money IMHO
If it's a remote desktop app you're after, have you tried RDP Client or PocketCloud?
UnifiedRemote looks pretty good.

TeamViewer beta 6.x both for desktop and phone work excellent! Pretty much exactly what I was after for months.
Initially, their front page ad scared me. Some Indian and Philippine fraudsters were using the same ad on their websites with a different edited product name which looks very similar overall (and the same blue website theme). They were phoning UK/US homes disguised as a legit business trying to get you to install such a product on your PC with lofty offers in return (free software, movies, etc). The product allowed them to basically take over your Windows machine without you realizing.

so, just networked my office pc and my living room media pc, just using ssh tunneling. all media stored on office pc, accessed via living room pc to go to tv.
both systems on ubuntu. office on 9.10, living room on 10.04
i highly recommend using remote droid (an app) for anyone else doing the same. lets me control the mouse on either computer from my couch, and the onscreen keyboard works just fine. from my couch, i drag and drop whatever files i want from one computer to the other, load any media i want, etc.
it's brilliant. i couldn't be happier
all you need if you have the setup is the remote droid jar file running. you can get it on the remote droid website. all totally free.
i heart open source

it isn't like phonemypc. phonemypc is an emulator like a remote desktop kind of deal, like logmein. this is just a remote mousepad/keyboard. you still have to look at the screen to see what you're doing. very handy though if you're on the couch. and, you don't have to do it in what i refer to as 'squintovision'.

you can do that with phonemypc too, and gmote. I just like phonemypc because you don't have to set up ports or anything, it just works.

ah. you don't need to set ports for droid remote either. just tell it the local i.p. address of the computer you want to control. very handy for me, since i use it on more than one computer. and gmote is nice, if all you want to do is goof with your libraries. i can do whatever with remote droid. move files, start up hulu, navigate the web, etc. anything you could do sitting at the computer, you can do with remote droid (as long as you can still see the screen, lol)
I can't figure out how to set this up in Ubuntu.

i always used phonemypc because on my last android phone i didn't have wifi, phone my pc uses their server as an intermediary so you just log in and you can see all your computers listed on the account, no IP's to keep track of or anything.

go to the remote droid website to get the jar file. you'll need the java runtime already installed on your computer (can get through software repository). once you have the jar file, just right click > open with > java runtime. then start up the remote droid app on your phone.
the default address was wrong for mine (127.0.1.1). you can find out your device address by going into your router (usually address 192.168.0.1, unless you've changed it) using a browser. your pc will be listed somewhere. google how to find it specifically within your router. then, plug that address into the remote droid configuration. should work like a charm
Is there a way in Ubuntu to setup a fixed IP address?
I recently tried vlc direct and vlc remote app on my tab, and it is awesome! Now I want the full power! I want to full access to my pc with pc interface( like team viewer or log me in) but over wifi. The reason I choose wifi because my internet connection isnt fast enough to make it smooth. So is there an app for that?
I personally use Splashtop. It's fast enough for me to play racing games using a ps3 controller over the wifi.
I use splashtop.if you have a static IP from your provider you can log into your desktop from anywhere in the world with internet-including tethered to 3g.just some configuring in router needed.
I didn't like Spashtop so I went with 2X Client. Works great! Also you do not need a static IP if you don't feel like paying for it. Go to http://www.no-ip.com/ and get a free dyndns account. Also some routers (like my Cisco) have built in DynDNS.org capabilities.
Splashtop HD works fine for me.
I use "Unified Remote"
Find it amazing for controlling my PC, tons of preset remotes, custom remotes, free version available.
2x works flawlessly and is free.
I actually had not tried Splashtop, it was a different prog. Going to try it out from when I am home. When not at home, i'll use 2X.
Edit: Tried it and it doesn't support multiple monitors! Doesn't really need to buy it should deactivate the others like RDP does. Also it unlocks your computer, so anyone sitting there can see what your doing and could take control if they wish. Needs more work but good concept cause it's fast!
I choose Remote RDP, easy and fast
bought splashtop twice once for my phone and once for my acer a500... (hd) love them... can use it over the web too with cable modem
Splashtop HD works great inside the house and out. Even connected over tethering through my cellphone's 3g. Best $10 I've spent. HD is different (better for iconia) from the normal version. Although the normal one is free at GetJar.com right now (save $5 - works good on the Dell Streak 7). Very easy to control my computer just like sitting in front of it, and even though it has to change the resolution settings on my pc it doesn't screw up my desktop either (It changes the resolution so there's no scolling on the tablet 16:9 screen even though my desktop is 4:3).

Maybe I am lost on what you mean, but Team Viewer works for me over Wifi.
I can do IP connections at home, and non-ip based connections away from home.
The only thing is on the client, you need to enable Incoming LAN connections in the General options.
Or...Is there some feature that I am missing?
Teamviewer has an android app. works great over wifi or 3g. Put it on your PC and you can control any device from any other device, even wifi tethered.
you could even use your pc through your tablet through your phone.

I use Teamviewer universally on everything, phone, tablet and PC2PC then I use Splashtop and Pocketcloud as my phone/tablet to PC backup.
Teamviewer can be configured to use internal ips, so if your internet connection doesn't work well it can jump to the internal network instead.
I was wondering if there was a way to remote access an android device from an android device for example, accessing my fire from my phone.
I am not an expert but suspect that a wireless network would be the only way because as far as I know the 'fire only has wireless interfacing. Hopefully I am wrong though
Well I Knew that It would have to be via wifi. What Im asking though is are there apps that allow for remote access between android devices.
you would need a vnc server on the one:
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.onaips.vnc&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsIm9yZy5vbmFpcHMudm5jIl0.
and a vnc viewer at the other:
https://market.android.com/details?id=android.androidVNC&feature=related_apps#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwOSwiYW5kcm9pZC5hbmRyb2lkVk5DIl0.
have never tried it but you could check it out
theoretically it should function
also from a pc or mac vnc viewer - there are plugins for browser
What are you trying to do? Wifi file explorer for filed. Google voice with desksms will allow you to text from your fire... etc

made a short search on the market for "remote desktop" - there are a lot of apps - maybe one of them is fitting your needs
sorry no more ideas ...

agree - tested some hours nightly
test pc (with browser) to kf:
there are some (vnc server on kf) which are used to control the kf from pc
basically they are working but they can't handle the screen rotation correctly
means the click points are disorted and you have no control
test galaxy tab (with browser) to kf:
nevertheless conection with the vnc server is working with javascript which i don't have on my vnc client test device
did search but java seems not to be available for android
anyone correct me if i'm wrong
still have to test with a vnc client on the galaxy tab ...
