Hello!
I am searching for an application for android device to use it as ip webcam (like foscam etc..). It should provide live stream over internet (web) and it should include remote trigger for motion detection. App should be able to send photos to email adress.
I tried tons of app on play store, but noone has the things i need.
Tnx

I was wondering, and yes, I have searched, but is it possible to stream pctv from your pc to Android, the easy way? There are guides telling how to use VLC to stream tv, guides that involves using windows media encoder, suggestions about using Orb live, wich just doesn't do it for me and even suggestions using the expensive slingbox.
I used to have mytinytv ( http://www.mytinytv.com/ ) on my PC wich did a really amazing job. The client, however, is only available for windows mobile, how ironic. I've changed the streaming profiles with windows media encoder 9 and achieved really high SD quality on my HD2 over 3g, yes, just 3g. The only downside with the client was that you could not easily zap trough the channels, as the tv server scanned all the channels but not letting you reorder it. Anyhow, it worked great, great quality and 30fps.
What is possible?
Mytinytv install file is still available on their site, however, the latest forum activity was about a year ago or so, so, hardly no progress anymore.
Is it possible to develop such a program for android? Or, is it just possible to create an android client for it? the client should be able to connect to the server using login credentials, give commands back to the tv server, i.e. changing channels and stream it using the built in streaming player of android.
Have a look at orb dot com (can't post link as I'm new, Hello all)
Basically, program runs on PC, connects you to a website, this then streams all your movies/songs to other devices.
I used to use it on my PS3 and iphone, fairly sure it will work on Android also.
Can also connect through the internet so can access it from work etc.

Hi everyone. We recently upgraded our Directv to the multiroom dvr with home cinema connectivity. I have been using 2player network music player for some time on my tp. I noticed that the "directv2pc media server" shows up in the source section, but cannot connect.... Is anyone aware of a way I could connect and watch my recordings on my TP?
It's showing up on your network, but I guarantee you it's probably some kind of proprietary encrypted connection method, meaning only directv devices can access it. Unless someone creates an app to access it, I doubt it will be possible.
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
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dev47apps.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.

Hi,
my requirement is i have multiple android phones installed at different places. Each have 3G internet connection. I need to PUSH the stream to Web-Client that has multiple embedded players in a webpage. This is surveillance system. I have not designed the webpage Yet.
This is a Live stream but i may want to record video on hourly basis in later stages of project.I don't need to store the videos more than a day there by releasing the space occupied. This storage of file can be in my local sdcard or on my webserver.
Basically i want a Peer-Peer Live Streaming. My scenario is MANY-ONE. There will be only one viewer. For this, Do i really need a Mediaserver like WoWza or RED5?
I have seen many forums. I have tested Wowza on my localhost and it is working fine, if i want to test over the internet.. i mean push my stream over 3G. I am specifically mentioning this "*pushing Live Stream over 3G*" because many people may offer a solution of Port Forwarding which i tried. When i did port forwarding my port "8080", i could see my local stream over the Internet by using my External IP of Router. Basically, my phone now works like an IPCamera.
But this is not what i need. I need my android phone to push the stream to My Own public webserver that has HTTP..My WebServer is not a Media Server.
My question is Do i need to use a Media Server like WoWZA or Opensource RED5? As there will not many people watching the stream, Can i avoid this?
Please Help!!!!!
Does anyone knows if is possible to put for example the kodi app to be recognize by isp as youtube app?
