I have an Ethernet / Wireless IP Camera. It works on my home network without any issues. But I would like to connect with it directly from my Razr.
When it is on my home network and I'm accessing the control panel then the camera's configuration panel will detect and connect to my Razr running FoxFi. But I don't know how to access the camera to view it. Going to the camera application doesn't do it.
I have IP camera software on my Razr, including the camera viewer that came with the camera. I have FoxFi that I can use. I have the USB Host Ethernet cable that I can use. But I have no clue how I can wirelessly connect directly to the camera.
Any help in getting connected would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew
Never mind. I got it figured out. In case anyone else is looking for a similar solution, here are the steps:
Connect the camera to the home network via Ethernet.
Note: If a port other than 80 is used then it will need to be remembered and specified on the phone.
Configure the camera with the SSID and password for the FoxFi hotspot.
Disconnect the Ethernet from the camera.
On the phone, start FoxFi.
Wait a moment for the camera to connect.
Once connected FoxFi will display the IP assigned to the camera.
Open whatever viewing application you wish and configure the camera.
Alternatively, it can be viewed through a browser.
I'm typing this just after connecting, so I haven't learned if there are any shortcuts when disconnecting and reconnecting later, or if there are any pecularities with the process. I may also experiment later with streaming through a Rasperry Pi, which would bypass using the phone as the hotspot. But this should get someone going.

I am using ARHD ROM (with Bricked Kernel).
My car can access and read out RSS threads and has a lot of interactive media functions, including being able access the internet via my bluetooth enabled phone. But I can't seem to get it to work fully, and really don't know if it is a ROM / Kernel / Phone issue or a car issue. I just don't know enough about the various bluetooth protocols etc, and as much as I research it, I keep going around in circes.
The car will connect to the phone and work fine as a bluetooth headset for telephone calls. It will also display the caller picture without issue and will access and read out my emails (using stock sense Mail client) and SMS messages. It also seems to connect to audio OK (although I never use it as it has a USB port that will accept a pop drive, so all my music is on the dashboard).
But the internet connection doesn't seem to work. I have looked into this and can't work out if it is a PAN or DUN profile issue. Soemtimes I can get the phone to show an internet connection being available to the car, sometimes it doesn't depending on which ROM I use and I can't seem to get any to work regardless.
Looking on the website, it claims the following:
How can I configure my mobile device for internet or BMW TeleServices usage?
In the operating manual of your mobile device you will find instructions on configuring “Access Point Name (APN)”; other names for this may be “Internet Settings”, “Modem Settings” or “Tethering Settings”. The required settings are available from your service provider. Please note that most Sony Ericsson mobile devices only recognise the first entry in the APN list, so it is recommended that all other APN configurations be deleted.
Can somebody please help me with this. I really am baffled as to how to get this to work.

It has been a year or 2 since I got bluetooth networking going. Today I tried to get my phone to connect to my windows 7 desktop and.... it couldn't even connect sadly enough. Anyways this is from memory so it may or may not be correct. I don't like posting incorrect stuff because you never know who will read/flame.
1. pair your phone to the other device
2. connect via bluetooth your phone to the other device
3. I used the app in the link below to turn on bluetooth tether. Your kernel needs to support this feature. Just a note, there are 2 apps off the link. One is wifi only, the other does bluetooth and wifi. Assuming you get this app, turn on bluetooth tether. I don't know if you should turn tether on then connect bluetooth. Maybe it doesn't matter.
4. This step I don't quite understand. The bluetooth tether should "offer" a network service to the remote device. The remote device in turn must recognize the service and use it. DHCP is the easiest to auto configure everything. If you need a name server, use 8.8.8.8 since that is a public dns server by our google overlords.

Hi,
so my scenario is the following:
My PC is connected to the router via cable and has no WiFi connection. My router has wifi, but the connection is very bad in my room.
Is there a way to share the connection of my pc (running win 8 pro btw) via bluetooth (it's onboard) or USB?
Thanks!
edit: Just tested it with my HoX and there I have an option "Internet Pass-Through", which works fine via USB. But on my GNote 10.1 (wifi only) the option doesn't exist...
edit2: I guess I found out what the problem is: It's called reverse-tethering and the problem is, that all tethering options are not available in the systemsettings, because tethering is not available, because it's a wifi only model. On my HoX the option for internet pass-through are in the tethering section, though it's reverse tethering. Any ideas how to get there on the wifi only Note?
Use a second ethernet-slot on your pc, buy an usb-lan-device and connect it via otg and crossovercable.
Or use bluetooth, if your pc support that. (Maybe a cheap usb bt device for your pc?) To share internet on one android device to another via bt is no problem. So it should work te same with your pc. Dunno by windows settings or any third party software.

Allright, I have Bluetooth onboard but can't get it to work, I guess the problem is with windows here. The other idea is very good thanks, I'll try that.

Before buying check for well known usb lan devices. Especially for samsung note, note 2 and up.
How far is the router from your room?

1 floor ~3 walls
The closer I get to the door the better it gets. At the door the router is basically directly beneath. On my couch which is near the door the reception is okay. But in my bed and near my PC (furthest away from door) the reception is very bad or no reception at all.

edit: So, I finally found a working bluetooth driver for my onboard bluetooth and win 8 (it's a P8Z68 Deluxe/Gen 3 btw). The standard win 8 bt driver seemed to lack some features. Okay, now I am able to have a real pairing connection to the GN10.1. I enabled ICS in windows connection option and then tried to do a "connect to personal network" in windows. It fails with no notification at all on the Note. Then I downloaded Bluetooth PAN app from play store. Funny thing is: If I click connect in windows (in the "connect to personal network" window) and shortly after/before click connect in Bluetooth PAN the connection does not fail in windows (it shows as connected), but the Bluetooth PAN app doesn't show any established connection, very weird. I tried the app "BlueVPN", but also no luck. Oh btw I found the following:
Obtain a network connection via Bluetooth tethering
If you have a computer or other device that can share its network connection via Bluetooth, you can configure your phone to obtain a network connection by Bluetooth tethering (sometimes called reverse tethering).
1. Configure your computer to share it’s network connection via Bluetooth. See your computer’s documentation for details on how to do this. Typically, it involves making your computer discoverable via Bluetooth and allowing incoming PAN connections.
2. Pair and connect your phone to your computer via Bluetooth.
3. Go to Settings > Wireless & networks > More > Tethering & portable hotspot.
4. Check Bluetooth tethering.
Your phone connects to the Internet via Bluetooth and your computer, and a Bluetooth icon appears in the System bar.

So I had Bluetooth Tethering enabled all the time. It didn't make any difference, except I got a noticifation "Tethering active" when connected, but I didn't get a reverse tethering.
Next thing I did, I tried connecting to my HTC One X's bt hotspot, didn't work either.
My best guess is still that there are too many tethering options missing due to the fact that it's the wifi only version.
What I'll try next is this. I'll let you know if it works.
edit 2: Oh, I also tried reverse tethering with my HoX to the PC, also didn't work.
Didn't worked because of firewall on windows 8?
Try to establish tethering through ur mobile phone via bt to wifi or [insertnumberhere]G internet.
Maybe in both directions (mobile<->10.1) to see if that works... and to decrease potential ...errrm... fehlerquellen.
Any update on sharing the internet connection of the pc to the note 10.1. I am especially interested in doing it via the USB.
It seems you can update the Note 10.1 via the USB, so it must be possible to connect to the internet via it. I think.
I don't own a Note 10.1 yet, but I am really interested in getting one.
it is old but maybe for some people the first gibt. nowadays it is easier in Windows 6 and above. you'll make it.

Anyone know if it's possible to tether either via usb or bluetooth with the p900?
I just want a network connection between the two to use for ssh/telnet with Juice ssh and remote keyboard.
I can't use hotspot as I need be able to connect to the internet over my macbook's wifi. Public networks usually don't allow 2 devices to talk to each other so it doesn't work over wifi.
Ignore.
For anyone that has this issue on a Macbook you need to go into networks and makes sure that the Bluetooth PAN connects. It doesn't happen automatically as it does for my other android devices
The Note Pro is then accessible at 192.168.44.1
Actually I just connected to my phone as the bluetooth was on. So still a question is the P900 capable of bluetooth networking?
I tried the Bluetooth PAN app on the app store and it complains that the executable file /system/bin/pand is missing. Does anyone know of a way to add this in?
In case anyone else needs this USB tethering works fine using Valera1978's port of CyanogenMod 12.1.
I am wondering if there is an app that will allow me to create a wireless access point with a WiFi only device. I have tried most of the hotspot apps in the Play Store, but none of them seem to work. Foxfi won't start because it can't detect an Internet connection. Some of the other apps "start" but there is no notification and I can't find the network on my other devices.
I am trying to connect a camera to my tablet through WiFi. The camera does not support WiFi Direct, so it must be connected to an access point first. Right now, I can connect the tablet and camera by creating a hotspot on my phone and connecting both the tablet and camera to my phone's hotspot. However, I would like to be able to do this without having to use a third device. The hotspot on my phone still works even if I turn mobile data off, so I think that a WiFi only device should be capable hardware-wise.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you in advance!
Hi All,
I am planning to connect an external DVR camera (specific for my car) which is not USB. Camera can be powered through OBD or directly from the fuse box.
The connection to the camera is done through WiFi OR through video cable with reduced resolution (due to limitation of video connection) and has all the options needed from DVR (auto record, loop etc).
My questions to the gurus
If the camera is connected through WiFi then what will happen with the tethering connection for Data access (internet) ?
Is it possible to have both WiFi connections connected at the same time ?
Can i use any DVR application with the camera?
Thanks

1) Hard to tell what will happen to the internet connection without knowing how the camera connects/uses the wi-fi.
2) Depends on #1. You can't have the radio connected to two wi-fi servers. You can't have the radio connected to wi-fi and act as a hot spot.
3) The built-in DVR only supports the USB connected camera. No 3rd party DVR software seems to function on the units.
You should be able to connect the (RCA) video cable to one of the radio RCA Video inputs and view it through one of the internal apps (video-in, F-Cam) etc, however, you will not receive any additional DVR type functionality from the MTCD unit.
Hope this helps.
