WiFi Cameras?

So I've been trying to find a way to address a certain proclivity of mine. I'm trying to find a camera that is self contained wireless and operates on WiFi so that for example I could leave the camera in my car and view it from inside a store on my mogul. The second thing I'd like to learn how to do is to access another camera left at my house over the internet (securely) on my mogul. So any camera/security buffs out there here's your chance to show off.

For streaming video / sound, I use Orb and a Logitech USB webcam (extremely cool.)
I also use Panasonic PLC131's. The mobile interface is static refresh only, but they work great for my needs.

Awesome, Thanks!!

[Q] Duel Cameras for Non front facing Phones

Just got the new G2 and its a bit disappointing that it doesn't have a front facing camera on it. Now I am looking for a way to do video calling with the use of a Web Camera. It would involve connecting the two devices with a USB Female-Female Adapter and designing an app to use the camera. Does anyone have an idea where to start on something like that?

i guess you have to look into usb host driver, there was one guy doing this with a nexus one i think, just search on youtube there was a video

Once you make the special adapter to trigger your phone into USB host mode (if possible) you will still run into a problem of no driver support for your webcam and no applications capable of using a usb camera.
basically you're SOL for a good while

Can I turn my N7 into a remote webcam?

I cracked my screen and it's unsable, but the camera still works and I can still navigate around some with an external mouse. So, I want to turn it into a remote webcam so I can keep an eye on my house and dog while I'm at work. I've seen the apps like IP Webcam, but they seem to only work if both devices are on the same network. I need it to work over the internet. I'd prefer if I could have streaming video, but it would be fine if it simply recorded a video when there's motion.
Can anyone help me out?

MobileWebcam (all one word) on the Play Store sounds like it'll do what you need. I've never used it, but it says it can stream over data or Wifi and gives you the ability to set up your own server to view from any Web browser, with features like motion detection and refresh rate built right in.

[Q] Use wallmounted N7 as ip cam, but can't make it work w/o displaying cam

Hi,
So, I have wall mounted an original Nexus 7. It have it running some cool wall mount apps, and I am doing some home automation with it. I would love to be able to use the camera on it as a webcam, and I have found a few apps that would let me do it (IP Webcam, IP Camviewer, Wifi Camera). The problem is that when you start those apps, it turns on your tablet camera, and displays it on the screen. IP Webcam is designed to background it. The problem is that when I try to pull it up remotely, the camera only works remotely, if it is being actively displayed on the screen. As soon as I background it, it stops streaming. I was wondering if this is something that is built into the kernel, or the rom, or the device. Does anyone have an suggestions?
Thanks,
Josh

Use S7 Edge as a capture device for youtube videos

What I want to know people is: Is there a way to record my youtube videos with my S7 Edge on a tripod stand and see what I am recording on one of my PC monitors?
Cant find too much on the net about it, but I though if the device was rooted it may then have the ability to record and preview on a monitor at the same time.
Any suggestions?

Use Sideync. All it needs is the phone to be connected to the PC via cable or both devices on the same wifi network. SideSync will pop a window on your PC showing you the phone screen in real time and you can control it on your PC via mouse.

Wouldnt you need screen capturing software to record the sidesync app? Ive never used sidesync since it doesnt run on linux :/
I personally would get an app called IP Webcam which allows you to stream your camera over the network. You can then use your browser to view the video or better still, use VLC to record the stream (see attachment)
I am using old android phones with this app to set up CCTV in my garage. This is on a plot away from the house and uses solar to power the phone and i can get a decent signal from my wifi even 40m away so it works a beauty!
