Theres a lot of apps out there that let you view your android's camera live (with delay) on your pc.
What im looking for is a way to have my computer recognize my tablet as USB webcam.
The closest thing i found is the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487915 but im hoping this can be simpler and more direct.
Your help is appreciated.

Hi. I need to show the phone interface on the projector for my graduation presentation. I've searched for tv-out capabilities of Htc Hero but I have found nothing. Then I see that we can grab screenshots from DDMS. So my question is, is it possible to get more screenshots to display it like a video on the PC?

Thank you so so much, that was what I needed.
there are also vncservers for android available, so far i didn't succed with supporting mouse input. keyboard works with my modified kernel, thread in this section (search for kkernel).
But are they for PC to Handset or Handset to PC control?
you see (and ideally control) the screen of your phone on the pc. it is the SERVER part for android, the server is always the pc that is remote controlled (when speaking of vnc, but mostly also in general). i find it a comfortable way of making screenshots, you just open the vncviewer and then use your favorite screenshot tool for [windows/linux/mac/zeta], set it to skip the window frames and you'r good to go...
Hey Guys im new here.
I want to know if there is a such of things that you can watch tv from SGS2 to PC or watch from PC on what you are doing on the SGS2
Thank You.
Splashtop app let's you see and hear your computer.
Droid vnc server let's you see (not hear) and control your sgsii from your computer, though it's usually slow and doesn't explain the keyboard controls for the soft buttons. And I've only gotten it to connect when on the same router.

thanks for the help gr8hairy1 but it seems that it needed rooted phones which mine is not rooted. do you know any apps that can be viewed on the pc with usb cable from the phone?
Hi! I know that there are apps to let an Android device serve as a mouse and keyboard for a PC or Mac. But is there anything to let an Android device do the same thing for another Android device? I feel like someone must have done this, but I can't find such an app. (I'm interested in getting an Android HDMI stick PC to use with my TV, and I'd much rather control it with another Android than with a keyboard and mouse.)
I found one app, Tablet Remote, which does _much_ of what I'm looking for, but it doesn't actually act as a mouse (instead just giving you arrows to move the selection point), which means that there's no way via Tablet Remote to do lots of basic things that require key taps.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Is there anyway I can stream camera video from android online outside of wifi routher so I can see video from remote computer?
There are copule of solutions but those app only stream video from android to pc over the same wifi routher.
Good program for that is Ip webcam.
And you can also send that video to another android device with tinyCam Monitor.
But I want to stream it online so it could be accesed by remote computer!
One solution is with IP Camera Adapter so you could use video from android as your webcam in skype.
But this is too complicated because you must have your computer turned on, and skype opened.
Some other solutions have same problem because you must have your computer on.
I found one really difficult solution with port forwarding and you have to open host on .no-ip.biz...
So, can it be done only from android phone with one or two programs.

Check DroidCam

ADDED AFTER A BIT OF THINKING
It can work only on same Wi-Fi or USB.
No problem. You can try a workaround. Plug it to a computer where you want camera and install Teamviewer on that PC. Then view that computer's screen (and obviously mobile camera) via teamviewer on your computer.
That makes you to install only 2 softwares on 3 devices.
1) DroidCam on Mobile.
2) Teamviewer on computer near mobile.
3) Teamviewer on your computer where you are going to see video.
Your solution with DroidCam is same as mine with IP Camera Adapter because both makes your android camera as webcam.
Teamviewer is as difficult as with skype and maybe more.
I guess that there is no android app that connects android camera and remote computer but
somehow I am sure that it can be done.
Application Ip webcam is great and lacks only that option.
I found solution. It can be done with Airdroid.
You log on with your email and password on android phone and then you can access from everywhere in the world.
You can check your sms, photos, or turn camera on or off: turn light on, take snapshot.
There is no sound so that is big minus.
We can lock this thread.
Is it possible in anyway to use something like miracast (or any way of screen mirroring) to a media PC.
Basically I have a media PC running windows 8.1 with XBMC on it in my living room and I wanted to be able to connect my android to it to mirror the screen. Although I have not come across anything like this I am surprised that if a tiny little dongle into the back of a TV can manage this that my PC can't even if I have to buy some kind of adapter.
I hope there is some sort of solution.
