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.

I currently have a cheap in-dash DVD player that I hate but I need it for my backup camera. My SUV has a spare tire that makes it impossible to clearly see what is behind me, so the camera is necessary for safety. I want to run the A/V input from my camera into my phone.
Is this possible? I'm aware there are usb to HDMI adapters but I'm pretty sure those are limited to video out, not input. I'm willing to spend some money to make this work.
Halp?
i don't know if that is even possible but may i propose a solution: purchase a wifi IP camera (these are cheap), view the ip camera stream using your note.
saw this in amazon == D-Link DCS-930L mydlink-Enabled Wireless-N Network Camera
no need to connect any wires.
What connectors does the camera output? If you can find a USB capture card that takes it as an input and is UVC compatible it should be possible, I know there are a few apps that allow you to view the stream from UVC devices
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
Hi all,
Is there any app that can be used to detect movement on what is being displayed on the screen. So not using the front or rear camera.
The use case is a wireless endoscope camera, you connect to the wireless signal and it streams the feed direct to your phone (not connected to internet, just 30m away from the transmitter box). I want to then leave my screen open and if there is any movement on the screen for it to alert me.
I understand it will drain battery having the screen on for hours but I dont mind that, its for watching wildlife.
There is no app available that will connect to my endoscope camera that also has motion detection and the only way I can think of getting this to work is having a second phone pointing at the first phone and have the motion detection on the second phone haha. If i can do it all on one phone that would be great but not sure if there is any app that will notify me of changes in the feed of an app, or change of the display.
Any ideas?
Also forgot to say the phone is rooted (Samsung S8) encase that helps with the options
