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.

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.

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.
I would like to know if there is any easy way to record the activities and views on my Android app to a video without root access. To be a bit more specific, I am looking for a screen-recording solution so that I can get a video of the user's interaction with the app interface. Connecting the phone to any device such as a computer to do the recording is not an option.
Here is a sample gif that I created using a Mac screen recorder to record the iOS simulator interface. It gives a rough idea of what I would like to achieve on Android, except for the fact that I would like the same to be from the actual phone (not the emulator) and without having to connect the phone to a computer or any other device.

this works fine,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.org.invisibility.recordablefree
but you have to connect it to pc ONLY first time, after that no need for PC, and does not require root
Thanks @arana1, but I really need to avoid even that first time connection to the PC.
I know there's a way to turn your phone into a webcam using an app like IP Camera, however it seems like my phone only shows up as an available cam when using a chat program like skype etc.
It won't show up in any of the video editing software like Windows Movie Maker, the only available webcam that's available is my computer's built in one.
I have no interest in using my phone as a webcam, I'm wanting to make videos with my phone while it's connected to my computer and have the video appear on my computer's screen simultaneously, is this possible?
Your probably wondering why I don't just record the videos on my phone and transfer it to my computer...because I'd like to see myself on my computer screen as I'm recording a video for things like proper placement and lighting etc.
Thanks

You mean just use the camera on phone, or connect it to computer and then use it on your computer?

Hi,
I have a Galaxy S7 which comes with the "Smart View" app in Android 8.0, which makes it easy to screen cast the phone to another Miracast device (e.g. TV or PC). Is there any way to do the reverse, i.e. using the phone as a Miracast host to display the screen of, say, another phone or PC? In particular, I want to use the Wireless Display feature in Windows 10 to have the phone as an external PC display. Windows can do both (cast to a device and host/display a cast from a device) but Smart View can only cast, not host. I don't want to use a media streaming app over the local network or god forbid a remote desktop solution routing everything through the internet. I want to use specifically Miracast because it's fast, convenient, built-in to many devices and most importantly uses direct peer-to-peer WiFi instead of going through the rest of the network, thus it's perfect for short-distance casting, which is exactly my use case. Unfortunately, I can't find any app that allows the phone to receive Miracast streams. Can anyone help?
