So I am installing a android tablet into my cars dash to use as navigation/entertainment etc..
I was lookign around for anyway to have a rearview camera display on the tablet but have come up empty.
Im wondering though. If I took a wireless IP camera and installed in the car and figured out the power issue. Could I then turn on my X2's mobil hotspot have camera connect to that and then use a ip camera app on the tablet to view the camera? Creating a rearview camera.
Not sure if the camera would connect to internet with phone the same way as a router.
Anyone know?
Thanks

Interesting idea. I just tried using IP Webcam on my DX2 and it worked out fine.

I started the hotspot, connected with my laptop, started the IP Webcam service on the phone and then connected with my browser--no problemo. I don't know how the browser on your tablet will respond, but it's certainly worth a try.
One note: I did have to turn off Droidwall, even with the connection set to "allowed", it still wouldn't connect.
Gear I used:
DX2 running Eclipse 2.0.4
Built in tethering/hotspot
IP Webcam
Laptop running Ubuntu
FireFox browser
So used the app that turns your phone into an IP camera?
Im trying to take an actual Ip camera and view it on a tablet, using the phone hotspot to get the camera online.
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.
Hey Guys,
I am after a camera app with a rather specific set of requirements, at this stage I have an old Android phone installed in my car being permanently power by an Auxiliary battery (2nd car battery only for accessories), I use the phone as a GPS tracker so I can see where the car is and where its gone, the only thing it is missing is the camera.
So I wold like a Camera app that will record once it detects movement (preferably G sensor) or a bluetooth device (car stereo), as the device is always powered triggering from dock connection wont work,
I would hope it can work with the screen off so it wont draw stupid amounts of power.
Any Ideas?
Thanks!
Hi hope someone can help here.
Im in a quandary wether to just get a normal car dash cam or use a 2nd hand android cheap phone as one.
I was wondering if there was any hacked firmware that converts a android mobile into just a camcorder with no other phone features like calling or receiving or text etc etc?
I know theres apps for dash cams but just a thought.
Has this been thought of or am I the first one to think of it.
Hope you can help
When I got my new phone I wiped the old one and installed a dashcam/blackbox program, Google navigation and a music player on it.
With no sim card in this "car phone" I don't get calls or text messages.
I set up my new phone to serve as a wifi hotspot so the "car phone" can connect for Google navigation. With dashcam running in the background and Google search and now set to accept OK Google on any screen I have music and navigation available hands free as well as the dashcam.
An NFC tag in the car turns my primary phones wifi hotspot on when I get in.
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
