I have 4 of these cameras and i have them all working kinda ok, but there is no rtsp or any easy way to configure them.
My issues are that when motion detection they only record for 9 seconds. Thats it.
I can have them continuously record 24/7 to my NAS but I really don't want my NAS to be continuously spinning it's hard drive all day.
I just want it to record when and as long there are movement and then send that file to my NAS.
It shouldn't be such big issue, but then again its xiaomi...
I have sdcard installed and can access them from any place i am, wich is good, but i also can't choose a folder in my NAS to record to either.
Coming from Foscam and using ispy as a server on my laptop kinda worked so much better but i wanted HD and needed the upgrade anyway.
If anyone have suggestions or some hints about how to use them more efficient than Mi Home i Will be very happy.
Thank you..

Hi,
I have a question. I have acces from my phone (legend) to my pc through ES file explorer via Wifi (shared folders on both sides). I also have approx 100gb mp3s and i don't wanna tranfsef few of them everytime i wanna listen something. here's my question. can i stream music on my hdd (pc) to my phone while they're connected with wifi ? es explorer gives my only a 50sec sample when tap "play". i should add that pc is connected to lan with cable not with wifi adapter. great thanks for help

- AudioGalaxy (free and easy)
- Subsonic (mostly free - server is becoming donation)
- CIFS Manager and whatever player you want because it'll mount as a virtual share on your SD card like ES does except it'll be accessable from any program as though it was right on your phone (only will work over wifi in most cases and you have to be using a device which has a cifs.ko module compiled specficially for it).
To start out -- id try audiogalaxy -- but its going to take a really long time to index a huge library -- FYI -- leave it overnight or something.
Edit -- without wifi whats the point? In that case Audiogalaxy works okay over mobile data out of the box -- subsonic will probably need port 80 forwarded from your router when you want to use it. They're going to consume a lot of mobile data though.
Lately I've been using CIFS Manager when on WIFI at home and Audiogalaxy for elsewhere. Cheers.

100GB of music? DAMN! lol
100Gig - I remember when my library was that small ;-)
I just wrote a review on Audiogalaxy and it's one of my review applications which is staying on my phone, so I'll also suggest trying it out. While the bitrate seems a little too low at the moment, it is just a beta and is still good enough quality for casual listening - That said, a lower bitrate is going to help keep costs down, should you wish to stream over mobile networks.
I'll agree, a large mp3 collection will take a while to fully index but a decent broadband connection will help that. It's also really easy to get started on audiogalaxy (took me under five minutes from first visit to the website, to playing my first track on the phone.)
thanks for help. i just saw today that Audiogalaxy is released, i think that'll do . Btw, i used to have about 550gb of music but sadly i had to erease my whole disk because of failure ;//

Bloody hell! You win! I lost around 350gig for the same reason and now have only around 290gig in raid (thankfully raid, I lost one of the disk set last year but no data for once!)
I have been hearing of some cloud like applications out there for push/pull of files to/from pc to android, so that may make another alternative, especially for offline usage. I'm thinking of implementing both because it makes far more sense to be able to access certain data remotely, rather than trying to figure out what I'll want syncing before I leave home.
Oh and if there isn't anything that quite fits the bill, perhaps it would make an excellent dev project for me.
Subsonic serves me and my terabyte of music very well (roughly half the teratyte is FLAC). The reason AudioGalaxy is not something for me is because I like to do everything folder-based, not via some database/index.
I am currently trying CifsManager too. But it appears my WiFi is pretty slow, so for streaming Subsonic's buffering/caching is much appreciated. Another advantage of Subsonic is that you can tell it exactly what and how you want stuff re-encoded. You can have it set up so that if you are on WiFi, it will automatically stream your MP3/FLAC at their own max quality. Then when you go off WiFi with your phone and want to listen over mobile data networks, it could stream it to you as 128kbps MP3 file for example (on-the-fly transcoded from for example your high-quality FLAC).
@jjwa - That's an excellent answer! Thanks for that, I think I need to take another look at Subsonic.
We have moved to Android and IOS devices now namely DroidX and iPad leaving behind our HTC Touch and Diamond.
We don't want to junk or even sell our previous devices since they have sentimental values. I was thinking to put them to use at lease. Is there any software I can install to turn those two device into a security cam?
They are both wifi capable, WM5 and WM6 operating system. I have used them as a BT webcam before, now I am looking a way that I can use them as a Wifi webcam that can stream video over the internet to my own server/hosting or may use Ustream or any other streaming service alike with a host PC.
If can record a video to the server will be much better so I can review it later. It will be perfect if there is a motion detection that could save me space and time in reviewing the videos.
Can this be done?
It's been a while since I post here, I will really appreciate if someone could help me with this.
Yes you can
Just download IP Webcam from the Google Play Market. It does exactly what you want. It runs an HTTP server so you can connect to it in a variety of ways, as listed on the main page in the browser, once you connect.
Good Play is for Android!!! He has a WM6
Hi, I think this will be a bit different type question that you guys are use to seeing. I'm hoping some of the guru developers here have a suggestion or two.
Where I work we do video/image processing mainly for Gov, UAV's, stuff like that. I'm a HW engineer. Today a SW engineer came to me asking if there is a way we could tap the HW in an Android phone to be able to get some kind of timing or sync signals that they could use to correlate data from the internal IMU's (accelerometers) to data being recorded by the video camera on the phone. I believe they are looking into using the IMU data to stabilize video captured from the camera (similar to how we do it on other systems).
I'm not at all familiar with the HW in an Android phone but I image a lot of the key signals I'd need are locked up inside the CPU until somewhere.
To me this seemed like something SW could do. We agreed that writing the typical high level Java type app for the phone wouldn't work. Either too much delay, inaccurate timings, or the App would not be able to get direct access to the IMU data and the video stream to record both.
Is this something that can be done hacking the standard video app? Would we need to get down to the kernel level to be able to properly see/control the video camera and the IMU?
We don't work with Android so this would be very new territory to us. Let me know if you have any thoughts.
thanks

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.

Thank you for your kind word! What would you like to be added in the next version for you?
wow nice... so cool
Thank you! What would you like to have in the next version?
Versions for iOS and Windows Phone are coming soon
I appreciate the enthusiasm you seem to have for this app, and I applaud your dedication to soliciting feature requests from the community. However, I'm having a hard time recognizing the benefit of your app over the competition. By your own admission, Camera Stream is a less feature-rich clone of the more established IP Camera (which I already use). Can you help me understand how you plan to set your app apart? What grand vision made you say "I can do better," and kept you up at night toiling away at this project of passion?
Please, take a quick look at the short video review to understand the benefits of our app: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRuODkzeowU
Do you like our app?
Your thoughts appreciated!
The new app version is about to arrive.
Hey J.walsh, anyway to live stream while the phone is asleep? I do hear sounds BUT no video. Also, anyway to save the video clips locally?
Please, download the new version of Camera Stream app with video stream being fixed on many devices in this thread or at Google Play! We'll make these features you asked in the next version coming soon!
It works like a charm, thanks for this app, the streaming it's really fast, almost 0 delay.
Thank you! The next version is coming!

The app is actually pretty nice, but I must use my browser to get the stream.
For example, I stream the camera from my tablet with your app, and use the web cam viewer app
Foscam Viewer Lite on
my mobile phone. It is not able to connect. If you could just connect to the stream like to any other "real" ip cam, this would
be really great!
Cheers

We'll work on it!
What would you like to additionally have in the next Camera Stream app version coming soon?
Please, order new features for the next version
