The rear visibility out of my car is particularly poor so I'm wanting to set up a reversing camera and I'm hoping there may be a way I'd be able to use my phone to display the image from the camera. I currently use the SGS3 as a sat. nav. device and would like to be able to use the same display for the reversing camera. Does anyone know a way it can be done?
Hmm, interesting one. I could suggest that you have a cheap Ethernet security camera and use a webpage on your phone to display it?
USB Video Capture device but you'd need a driver for it.
You could use a Samsung SH100 camera maybe, that connects to Android phones wirelessly and lets you see through the viewfinder on your phone.
Bit of a weird one for you all, but here goes.
I want to be able to plug production level cameras into a smartphone or tablet, and have them read as the native camera. Looks like Android is capable of accepting a USB UVC source, since apps like CameraFi exist that allow you to plug a webcam into your phone with an OTG cable for recording. Looking around online, it looks like the Magewell USB Capture SDI device will take a camera and treat it as a USB UVC source, like any webcam.
So the hardware makes sense to me, but the last thing to figure out is how to disable the built-in camera on a phone/tablet, and instead have the OS read the external camera as the main/only one. This way, my hope would be that any apps, such as Periscope or Ustream, would automatically work with the external camera. Anyone have any ideas on how to pull that off? Any Android device brand or model will do if you have recommendations.
Thanks!

We have been discussing this at work lately and are very interested as well . We're thinking of creating a virtual android instance on a PC that has no webcam, using a device like the one you mentioned and seeing if we can trick it that way

Hi for some time, I'm looking for ideas for my solution. I have an android phone that do not currently use and I would use it as a screen for my action cam. Obviously it is already possible through the app and bt or wifi, but this way the battery runs out quickly.
Do you know any cable solution? My action cam (xiaomi yi) has both the USB output that that HDMI.
For Canon exists for the application DSLR Remote, maybe some of you know something for xiaomi.
Thank you all
My wife's Mi5s Plus suddenly got problem with rear camera. Error log said "Can't Connect Camera".
I've looking for answers, hoping this only software problem by trying reflashing stock firmware even custrom firmware. But the problem remain the same.
At the hardware test, I finally knew that only Rear Black and White Camera still worked, beside Front Camera.
The problem was, she can't use Whatsapp Web because QR Code scanning need Rear Camera. And her works gonna be a messed.
Since I finally rooted her Mi5s Plus, is there something I can do to swap function the Rear Camera to Front Camera which still worked, as Main Camera?
So Whatsapp defaultly using Front Camera to do QR Code Scanning?
Please help.
