Anyone know of a combination of wireless IP camera (with night vision) and an android app so I can use my Xoom as a baby monitor? If the IP camera feeds to the web and that's available in the web browser, that would work too (in fact, even better if I can serve video to relatives).
Just Google it. There are tons of camera setups like that out there for web access viewing and some android apps that can connect (not sure about xoom compatability with the apps though). Good luck.

Thanks for that helpful suggestion. I Googled it and am still looking. Anyone have a suggestion for a security camera that I can pick up on the xoom?
D-Link
Linksys
Trendnet
Intellinet
Manhattan
Just to name a few with IP based cameras that are viewable via android app.
Or just walk into any Fry's, Best Buy, or other big electronics box store and look at their IP cameras.

Thanks, but I'm not asking for help using google. I'm asking if anyone has a specific suggestion for a system they've used. I have so far not had any luck, and was hoping someone could suggest something that works well, possibly with pros and cons of their experience.

Some advice, be clear in your OP what you are asking for because what I thought you wanted was a list of suggestions.
My personal experience is based on a "all in one" boxed system that included a DVR with 4 cameras. The cameras are all Color/IR. There is an android app that allows me to view them. It wasn't wireless but if you think about it.. neither is a wireless IP camera you still need power and the camera needs to be mounted. Ideally, you would mount the camera up in the corner of the room and we know there isn't power there so I would just go with a wired setup that includes everything you need out of the box because its less confusion and less hassle.
If you want a wireless IP system I cannot contribute to this thread any further than I already have. D-Link and Linksys make good consumer great IP cameras that will more than likely do what you want, you just have to research them.

Thanks. What was the name of the app? Also, I'm pretty sure that the OP was clear that I'm looking for "a combination of wireless IP camera (with night vision) and an android app."

Sure, then in your further clarification you made a request for personal experience and I shared with you what I had. The name of the app you are looking for is called IP Cam Viewer and is compatible with like a hundred +++ different types of camera systems. If you can find a camera on his list of devices then you've got a sure fire winner. Worst case scenario is that you would have to return something once or twice. His app has a free version with ads and a version for like 5 bucks thats probably worth getting rid of the ads.
Man, some people here are real jerks. I happen to have been looking into this exact thing just a couple weeks ago.
For the price this is the best Wireless Camera choice:
http://www.amazon.com/Foscam-FI8918W-Wireless-Camera-Viewing/dp/B0046710G6
And it has pan and tilt controls which I think is pretty cool.
As for an app there are a couple choices out there, and I haven't narrowed it down yet, because I wont need this setup till late August, and I am waiting for the best option, but search the Android Market for Foscam compatible apps.
https://market.android.com/search?q=foscam&so=1&c=apps
Hope this helps!
Yeah, I'm such a jerk for trying to help this guy out. I should have known instantly what to post the first time.
We use a d link dcs932. It works great. The app is not really tablet friendly, but it works. You have to launch it in portrait, full screen viewing will then go into landscape. I use my galaxy tab 10.1 with honeycomb 3.1. On my atrix it forces portrait, but on my tab it fc's when you try to lau ch it in landscape. Got it at tiger direct for 99.99. Hope this helps.
Ip cam viewer all the way, regardless of what cam you go for!
Something like 600+ supported devices, local record facility on the xoom as well, bi directional audio with supported devices.
I use it daily with multiple devices from multiple locations and recommend it to customers all the time

Does anyone know of a good app that would allow me to send/receive texts on my PC (via wifi/USB) from my phone? I've found two thus far, DesktopSMS and DroidMessenger, but both seem to severely limit features unless you buy them. So I guess my real question is does anyone know of an app that does this... FO FREE?
Support the devs...desktop sms is done by koush (rom manager, clockwork recovery) he deserves it!
So just buy desktop sms!

The thing is I'm a broke college student, and I hate spending money on stuff like this unless the developer truly deserves it. Sounds like this one does, however, going to buy now. Thanks for the heads up.
Check out MyPhoneExplorer in market.

^ Will do. I've already purchased a license for the app that Jimmy mentioned, but it's only a year license, which I'm not too happy about. For those looking to help support the creator of Clockworkmod, the app is called DeskSMS, and not DesktopSMS (which exists).
It's $5/year, which is probably not a lot for most of you, and I know I'll be called cheap here but I have extremely limited finances. Very good app, by the way, but I don't understand the necessity for re-purchasing it.
$5 a year is a very reasonable price for a non-battery-draining app that can send you email/gtalk messages or you can even access the web interface to. I've also used easysms which was a battery hog and only worked locally, but DeskSMS by far deserves the $5 a year (for server costs etc). You probably lose more money in change a year than that.

I fully agree will u, I am not much of a supporter of fly by night devs and apps, but the ones who deserve it I will alwaya buy if its something I will use. Koush always puts out quality stuff and aside from from chains's superuser app I think he is second as far as installs on ALMOST EVERY rooted android device.

If I had a job, then yes, $5/year wouldn't be much to worry about. However, I literally have to watch every dollar I spend. Also, I always keep my change and get it cashed in bills after I've collected a certain amount, so I see your point but it doesn't apply to me.
While using the app, I seem to be losing connection from the web interface even while the app is opened on my phone. My phone is connected to the wifi, but I still seem to lose the connection. Would you have any idea why?
install droidexplorer on your pc. connect phone to pc and go to tools/plugins/screencast.
you will have your android screen on your desktop with full functionality(everything but video)
and dosnt drain batt actually charges while usb'd to pc
you can also use your pc keyboard for all the functions including typing text.
right clicking the window on your pc rotates screen. fullscreen is better quality.lags a bit but its free
My wife has high blood pressure and I am looking for something like this link below for Android.
For example: http://new.digifit.com/withings-blood-pressure-monitor/
But this is for that pesky iPhone.
I am ultimately looking for an actual monitor that she can carry with her and attach it to her phone via bluetooth or cord and then use an app to manage the data like the DigiFit app.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!

Their scale works with android, why not the bpm.
I have the scale from this company. when you weigh yourself it sends your data over WiFi to their site, and there is an android app that pulls that data.
I'm surprised their bpm doesn't have a similar feature. I pulled the manual and read it just in case but yes, its ios device only. stupid of them. they should have included the same WiFi functionality (and your wife could enabling wifi tethering during measurements.)
Hopefully they will figure this out for the next version.
Are these viable options?

This is the one I want once it becomes available for sale:

I bought qardioarm and it seems good or more accurate than expensive omron, other digital, and cheap manual. Problem with these or this specific device is i need to have location enabled. Then it transfers data to the company and then i can email it to myself of others via the app. I wish i knew how to make an app to connect with qardio and save data locally without enabling location and sending data to them online.
This app let you connect your phone to your computer through a browser. It is really quick. I was able to upload music and files to my phone through any browser really quick.
Hit the thanks button if it helps. It's my motivator to be more helpful.

I use airdroid for fast copying off my phone or to my phone when I don't want to plug in. It's also great for sending long text messages as you can message right from any browser. Setup port forwarding and you can check your messages, phone log, etc if you leave your phone at home and you're out. You can download apk's that are installed on your phone, manage your music, photos, everything very easily.
I've been using the app lately. I think you might not even need to use port forwarding if you go through the airdroid website, but that means that you'd need the unique password displayed on the screen to log in.
It also allows you to scan a qr code to authenticate which wouldn't work for remote logins, but still handy.

If you pick up the v2 beta you can login from another network. It also has tracking and camera functions. Android Police has a story on it.
It is quite useful actually... Its not as fast as a USB but hey, if you don't want to spend the time taking our the USB and plugging it in, its extremely useful. I use it quite a lot
v2 is pretty cool.

Could be. Depends on how strong of a wifi signal you have, if it's an N router, if you're plugged into a USB 1 or 2 port, and how saturated your USB controller is with other things.
In theory, wifi n is faster than usb 2, but in real life it's not normally, but depends on the things I said above.
This app is great. Also, I find it being faster than USB and less troublesome.
I transferred a about 3GB without getting desperate. So, yeah, that's fast.
Ever had someone snoop on your phone and wonder what they looked at? AntiSnoop is for those of you who have inquisitive children, sneaky friends and insecure partners. Use AntiSnoop to track all applications that are opened, when they are opened/closed and for how long they are used.
If you know you left your phone unattended and you had AntiSnoop on, you'd be able to look through the logs and see each and every application that was opened while you left your phone unattended. If you notice there are some logs when you know that you weren't using your phone, chances are someone snooped.
If you just want to try it out, try out AntiSnoop free.
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stikkyapps.antisnoopfree
AntiSnoop free will log every application opened
You can password protect the app so those snoopers can't delete the logs
You can filter out apps from logging like games to make your logs more meaningful.
AntiSnoop premium comes with all these features as well + a little extra.
In addition, with premium you can schedule AntiSnoop to run once at a certain time or on a recurring basis.
No ads on the premium version

All feedback is appreciated.
Please try it out and rate it.

Hi there,
The current version does not allow this but I have already written the code for this feature so it's not far away.
Version 1.1 will allow photos to be taken of the snooper when the phone is unlocked. This will be a premium feature and not available on the free version at this time (premium version only costs $0.99 at the moment). I expect to be ready to release 1.1 around christmas, possibly earlier if I'm not lazy on the weekends
@killoid
I will look into the feasibility of supporting earlier versions of Android but as a great deal of my code requires API 11 (3.0 Honeycomb) and upwards, it would be a large undertaking so I can't make any promises.
@mauam
Thank you
@Left4DeadMW
Currently the only additional feature the paid version offers is scheduling. You can set a time/date for AntiSnoop to start, or set it to start on a recurring basis (i.e. every 2 days at 4pm)
The paid version is also ad free
In the coming weeks I will release 1.1 which includes the feature of snapping snoopers. If it is running then every time your phone is unlocked AntiSnoop will use the front camera to take a photo of them. I have also included a view to see the photo and a brightness/contrast slider to aid identifying the person in poor lighting.
@Trestal I PM-ed you about sending screenshots trough my email ([email protected]) or even dropbox since for some reason I can not access the links you PM me, sorry I get blank site only on every link.
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
As promised, the new release is out. It's actually been out since before Christmas but I forgot to update this forum post.
* Added a password hint field to aide remembering the password
* Added an icon to the home page of the free version that will take people to the play store listing of the premium version if they decide they want to upgrade
The premium version also got some new features
* A setting to enable the front camera to take a snap shot of the snooper when the phone is unlocked
* A screen to view this snooper with brightness/contrast sliders to aide identifying the snooper in poor lighting
Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks
@el_easy the premium version now does what I think you were looking for.
tnx for this app bro
i suggest U to add an ability to take picture of person who is using the phone

This looks like a very useful app, the only thing I'm curious about before I download is how much, if any battery this uses, considering it must always be running.
@The Peanut Master Thanks for your feedback!
From the devices I've tested it on (which I'll list below) it consumes virtually no battery. For example, on my Motorola razr m (Android 4.1.2) I've been running AntiSnoop for 7 and a half hours out of 11 and a half hours total since my last charge. I've used 67% of my battery and AntiSnoop accounts for less than 1% of that.
I've had similar results on the Samsung Galaxy S4, S2, Nexus 5 and 7. It performs a check every second but obviously shuts down when the phone is not active.
Please let me know if it is less efficient for you.
Hello,
i searched a long time to find a app that just logs if someone is doing something. (I dont need a photo, IF someone is looking at it, i know who it is^^)
It seems like this is exactly what i'm searching, but to bad its not possible to get it without a google account. Is it possible for the snooping person to track that app? I mean, is there a Icon in the Status bar? Or if he look at the active tasks?
Oh, and maybe a download link without google?
Greets
Getting my token?
Edit- I received a response from the developer. He was out of the country so he was delayed. He is working on fixing the problem.
The app is still as great as it ever was.
Wish i knew
if only i had known about this app before lol
Edit: Misunderstanding
Edit: dev got back to me. He was in the process of moving. The big part that bothered me was the lack of communication. Which I understand that happens when moving.
Problem was fixed.
Thanks dev, sorry for being pushy.
