[Q] How to display an external video feed ? - General Topics

Hi All,
I have made a robot that is controlled with my Asus tablet (TF300T). I have written the control app using MIT app inventor which communicates over bluetooth. What id like to do is mount some kind of video camera (either a stock wireless web cam, or a specialist camera from somewhere like sparkfun) onto the robot and then modify the control app to display the video feed. I understand that I will have to ditch app inventor to do this and write using the SDK directly and that is fine, but I would like to know if the concept is possible and if so could you kindly point me to some resources that document this ?
all help appreciated.

Re: Surveillance Cam App
I am using IP Cam Viewer Lite and it works well with my Trendnet 312W.
It is in the marketplace and is free.
I use Tiny DVR. Its virtually the same as Eye See U on the iPhone, identical settings for viewing my IP Camera
Tiny DVR
Try Tiny DVR. Search Market or SlideME.
It looks like Tiny DVR does not support Geovision cams at the moment directly but you can add custom CGI request to your cam image there. Or contact the developer to do that for you.
for win mobile?
Ehm people,
there is an app promoted here in the forum, even on the same page of this subforum... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116764
And if you don't like this, you could try the one from "Securet" (find it on the market)...
Cheers, berkley

[Q] How to hook video INTO an android tablet?

Can anyone provide insights into how one might feed video into an android tablet / etc?
I'd like to play around with testing the 3D screen with different video feeds, and I'm thinking about using a tablet such as those found over at aliexpress.
I dont care about the 'computer' inside there even, ideally I'd be interfacing as directly to the display as possible. I just can't find much raw data about the hardware itself.

About blog
Thanks for the reply. Can a blod be downloaded and distributed on computers and tablets?
Not the embedded part of the blog, like if you're embedding YouTube videos and stuff in it.
You can save the website for offline viewing though, text, pictures.
I guess my point was that I'd you had internet for YouTube, having the other stuff online wouldn't be a problem either

Live Video Feed from phone/pc to SmartWatch

I'm looking for some solution to get a live video feed from a phone, or better from a distant PC or IP-cam via phone. Anyone know how to do this?
I've seen the app (Watcher - SmartWatch Camera). Have anyone used it and does it work well? I have not tried it since I don't have a SmartWatch. This is the deal maker/breaker, so I'll only buy it if this works.
So if it does work, how could I get the IP-cam-feed bridged from internet to my mobile and then to my watch? Right now I'm using IP Webcam to put a feed from my phones camera on to the local net, which works great, but I have no idea how to get this video fed from phone to watch which uses Bluetooth...
The developer of the "Watcher" app has another app called "Android Script" which allows you to write your own Sony SmartWatch apps using JavaScript... you might be able to do what you want that way.
Also, the app works really well on my S3. The range is surprisingly good too... I can watch video from anywhere in my house when the phone is in my lounge.

SmartWatch WebCam Viewer is what you're looking for. I have it pulling a feed from a Foscam I have. Unfortunately it does not appear to support multiple cams so I had to pick the most important from the set of cams I have.
The res on the watch is low, and it is dark to begin with, so viewing a 1080p feed full of light and dark spots due to shade is not that great. But it definitely works. You can adjust the image refresh rate as well. You will most likely need to figure out the URL for the still image for your cam. I already had mine as I needed them for my home automation system. As with everything else with this watch, go into understanding the constraints and benefits it provides and you will be happy.
