Where the first device is used as a security camera and the other for accessing its view and see live actions happening there.
To start, you will be needing at least two Android devices May be if you have an old Android phone or tablet with you don’t use anymore can be placed as a security camera in always on mode. Now let us see how Android phones can be used as wireless security cameras. Interval is the start and stop time during the day where you can to automatically record or enable motion detection.A simple Android device with built-in camera can be used as a wireless security camera device that can be used for monitoring your room or office when you are away.Įarlier we have discussed about turning any Android Phone to a wireless webcam. Motion detection and timed recording are also available after registration with the service, and both worked fine. AtHome Camera App Screenshots (Click to Enlarge) I selected Android/iOS smartphone, clicked on “Generate QR code” on in the Streamer app, scanned it with my tablet, and the new IP camera was properly detected, and I could check what my plush was up to! There are some options on the bottom of the app to record video manually, take a screenshot, mute audio, talk through the mini PC’s speakers, and so on.
The first time, you’ll go through a wizard, asking you to optionally register/login, whether the streamer is located on a PC / Mac, Android / iOS smartphone, or AtHome IP Camera.
So the next step is to install AtHome Camera for Android or iOS on the device you’ll use for monitoring. You don’t have many options in AVS app, except Dimming the screen, and change the streamer name, username and/or password. X9 camera support might need to be improved, as I lost access to the webcam a few times. I installed the app in Zidoo X9 TV box to which I connected a UVC USB camera in order to monitor… my chameleon plush / pillow. The app will show with the name AVS, and it should detect your camera automatically, and show a live feed.
But I’ve just found out an app called “ AtHome Video Streamer” can transform any Android device with camera support into as IP camera for security or monitoring. Some Android mini PCs come with cameras, for example Measy U2C or CS928, but depending on firmware support, most will also take a USB webcam, and the obvious application is for video conferencing with Skype or Google Hangout.
