I have tried 3 different cameras. Anyone out there using a USB camera for DVR? I can see the cameras showing up as /dev/video1 and /dev/video2. I read somewhere that the driver got trashed sometime in the 6.0 release.

wifi xoom running 3.1 (non-rooted)
I bought the Motorola Camera Connection Kit (OTG Cable), connected my digital camera and it worked perfect. However, I'm trying to see if i can plug in a usb thumb drive... but I can't get it to work? Do I need to do anything special to mount it? What filesystem would it mount as?
Thanks in advance
I may be wrong on this but I didn't think 3.1 stock had flash drive access...?
maybe I'm confused too then? I thought 3.1 added usb host support...
only for cameras, video game controllers, mouse and keyboard.
ahh, that explains it... thanks!
Is it using the camera protocol? My cameras have always shown up as mass storage on my computers. I haven't tried a camera on my xoom yet.
i just tried with my camera. it still won't work. guess we have to mount the drive.

got my Camera to work with Xoom. Just set the camera USB setting to MTP/PTP mode.
It cannot recognize raw image files.
works with my canon 5d m2 instantly without any setting changes
Anyone have a flip camcorder who could test that out?
Edit: I went and bought the camera connection kit. Was able to get videos off my flip by navigating to /mnt/usbOTG (with the flip attached obviously). I'm rooted and using the latest Tiamat kernel though. US WiFi model.
Hi all
I would like to connect my canon a470 powershot to my
Wifi only xoom, running tiamat 1.4.4 and honeycomb,
through an otg cable.the cable works and I can access USB
pens reading the content.Now as my camera does not
provide usb mass storage access but only mtp/ptp I cannot
manage to access photos directly plugging the USB cable.
I read that Verizon camera kit cable supports ptp on
Honeycomb systems but how? Is there any app or .ko
needed or is a compatibility issue related to my camera?
Thanks

I have the Motorola Xoom "camera " otg host cable. That's all the "kit " contains. I'm running the Tiamat ROM and I can not access my Canon Powershot either. So, if you have a working otg host cable, don't waste your money....
really ? nothing more than a simple OTG cable ? Thanks for the advice ! How is it supposed to work on stock ROM's if UMS is disabled ?
I 'm sure that there must a library for ptp/mtp on android: I read that some people had this feature working, being able to access photos (stored on the camera) through the stock gallery app.
Maybe the OTG cable is not enough...
Could be the camera brand. I have no idea though. I don't need to connect any of my cameras to my xoom.
Bumpity bump
Any resolution to this?
I have USB sticks working too but not ptp supported devices...
I'm having the same problem with my Canon 5D. Also tried Canon Ixus 130 and that didn't work either. I just tried installing the stock Australian image and then installing the 3.1 update and that does not work either... I asked around and found people that also had a canon 5D and Xoom and the combo worked for them.
that is so weird
I wish someone can shed some light on this...is this inherent with 3.1?
Do not know will this help in any meaningful way but did anyone tried connecting A470 running chdk? I do not have Xoom but there exist plethora of scripts for canon low end cameras making them just a little bit more useful. Higher end cameras have another way of enhancement with different program setting. Just my to cents...
Hi guys, I have an M8 Android TV box and is working perfectly aside from a little bug/driver issue with my USB Logitech C710 camera. I want to use the camera for Skype/take pictures with regular camera app but the images come out with distorted colors. I tried using different USB ports but the problem persists. Is there any way I can fix the drivers manually so that the picture looks like normal? I tried the camera with my laptop and it works fine. I also installed every known camera app in the playstore and the only one that used the camera normal was Snapexwebcam. If anyone can help me and need more information to reach a solution please let me know.
Thank You for your time
Respectfully, XianLen
PS: My TV Box is rooted
Hi, just connected the front DVR on my KGL unit, all working well but it doesn’t show up on the f cam app when I select front camera?. Any idea how to do this?. Reverse cam does.
Also any one having an issue that after you use an sd card in the head unit your windows laptop thinks it’s now write protected?. Just had another new 32gb card busted after I’ve put it in my laptop to format to use in an other device.
Changed the storage to the flash and the jerking has now stopped
did you solve this? Im having an issue with F-CAM APP I have a warning image in both cameras... front and rear...
I can't even find the F-CAM app on Play store anymore. The one with the camera lens avatar.
F-Cam shows the image of a Cam connected to the usb ports
if you are connecting the camera to AVIN wires, it will show in the AVIN mode
Hope this helps
Hello everyone -- I'm wondering if anyone has any experience replacing a built-in front-facing camera on any android device with a UVC/USB webcam. What I want to do is build a custom app that works on a regular android phone where I can use the camera1 or camera2 apis to get access to camera data from a USB webcam I have. I of course know that on this site there are many guides for replacing cameras on various android devices using manufactured replacements (sometimes non-OEM), but I am trying to figure out if there is any android device and some sort of adapter where I could plug into the front-facing cameras MIPI/CSI port but have it be able to plug into some kind of webcam/uvc/usb signal. It would be pretty sweet if you could plug in "arbtrary" webcams that support UVC and have an Android phone read this as a normal camera signal that could be processed with the Android Camera APIs!
