Use Android Phone as a Webcam For PCIf for some reason you're in a situation where you don't have a webcam hooked up to your PC for video calling, then I might have a solution for you. Most laptops have integrated webcams at this point, so you're probably going to use this for a desktop. It will work the same way regardless though. We are going to take and Android phone and use it as a webcam for your computer. Here's how to do it.
For any device that's running Android 2.2 or higher, you can download an app called IP Webcam. This app will allow you to connect to your computer and stream the video feed from your phone's camera to your PC.

Download IP WebcamFeatures include:
• Several web renderers to choose from: Flash, Javascript or built-in
• Video recording in WebM, MOV or MPEG4 (on Android 4.1+)
• Audio streaming in wav, opus and AAC (AAC requires Android 4.1+)
• Motion detection with sound trigger, Tasker integration.
• Date, time and battery level video overlay.
• Sensor data acquisition with online web graphing.
• Videochat support (video stream only for Windows and Linux via an universal MJPEG video streaming driver)
• Cloud push notifications on motion and sound, cloud recording for motion-triggered records, online video broadcasting powered by Ivideon.
• Advanced baby and pet monitor features: night vision, motion detection, sound detection and audio streaming.
This is a great way to find a new purpose for an old Android device that isn't being used anymore.

this is EXACTLY what i needed. thank you.
In the past this software has only worked for about 1 month before needing a serial code to activate and keep working.
I assume this will be the same with this one or am I wrong?
Wait, the topic says "control your PC from your PDA" but the description is "control your PDA from your PC"...
which one is it?

Looks like it may go all ways.
Looks like the server software is free, but you must buy the client software.
I'll stick with LogMeIn for free.
I just installed this software and it works great! LogMeIn.com and Go2MyPC.com are easier to work with but neither supports audio on the PPC only from PC to PC. With Remote2PC it was easier to switch to a static IP address account to log on instead of creating a DDNS account. There are also more on screen icons on the Remote2PC software than the LogMeIn.
Only thing with the audio on Remote2PC is that it's capturing the audio from my web cam microphone. I would like to capture sound from my sound card. I heard one suggestion to use a standard male to male jack and loop it from the microphone port to the speaker port but haven't tried it out yet. It always astounds people when you tell them that you are controlling your computer remotely. I also like to use LimeWire and PalTalk on my PDA.
You can use this software from PPC to PC and PC to PPC. And although this thread title says Freeware it is not. The site offers this software for $39 but when checking out it only costs $15 for 1 year. Still better than LogMeIN which might be free but is $70 for the Pro version to enable sound (just not on a PPC)
Basically, I'd like to get the ball rolling with making a low cost (Free, Open Source would be best) IR Universal Remote application for the Android Platform.
I wrote up this wiki to help establish current info:
Slatedroid Wiki - Adding IR output to Android Devices
Please see the wiki for all the details, but essentially, the hardware involved is trivial. As far as coding, the following needs to be written or ported from other projects:
A GUI to manage the buttons and selection of devices
A parsing function to read info from pre-made remote control code text files
An audio signal/waveform generator
A database to store the information
All of this stuff has been done before, it's just a matter of bringing it all together into one android-based project.
If the project really took off, future development might include:
Support of LIRC, Pronto, CCF, and/or other IR remote file protocols
Integrated controlling of WiFi and Bluetooth devices
A pre-parsed central database stored "on the cloud" for all major devices
Possibly supporting the "learning" of a new device (would need a IR sensor/decoder attached to microphone input)
Feel free to discuss, correct any errors, bounce new ideas around, etc.
With google tv most of plumbing code and the UI will be available, albeit for a small set of machines and via bluetooth. (google remote)
They used to do this actually.
I remember a long time ago, it was with remote software. It would store the IR signals as WAV files recorded via a 3.5mm headphone IR sensor.
I think you could even make one. All you need to receive and send IR signals is a audio recorder/player. Map certain software buttons to each audio file to make a "Remote Controller" type of device".

Yes, all that info is already in the wiki. It's been done a million times, which makes me wonder why there is no one around with an android version yet.

Google TV will be WiFi controlled though, not IR, right? If the source code for the gui was available, that would be a good start.
Though Nexus 7 has two microphone, however I noticed that the mic on the left has never been used to record audio in any app, even stock camcorder record mono audio stream from the mic on the top.
Choosing "rear mic" in recording apps doesn't work as well.
So how does it work ? Is the problem of Android API or hardware?

i might be making a another face-palm here. but i think the bottom is for portrait mode and the top one is for landscape mode?
it could also be that one is used for recording and the other for noise cancellation? switching between the two while in use could be posing the problem?
Hardware is quite good
ALC5642 should be an HD Audio process chip, and it works really well in Ubuntu:

Directly record audio from two mic with arecord with channel>1, I got 32bit float, 192kHz PCM stream
For 4 channel, I got FL,FR, C(???where does it come from?) and an empty sream
FL=Left mic
FR=Top mic
The quality of recording and playback in Ubuntu is much better than Android :good: ,a simple command of
Code:
arecord -c2 -f U16_BE -r48000|oggenc -o recording.ogg -q 7 -
gives a better recording quality than most of apps in Android.

Are you using Kodi?

I just received and set up 2 of these and am experiencing this occasionally on both of them. It is happening when using Kodi v19.4 (Arm64).
I found if you turn off Hardware Acceleration in the Player Section of Kodi it will play correctly
Yeah I have this box too, its hardware decoder for HEVC is definitely buggy. Some videos are totally garbage, some get a sequence of frames repeated over and over. Turning off hardware acceleration works, but only for 1080P. If it's a 4K video, the CPU isn't fast enough to decode on its own.
The devs of the box told me it doesn't support Dolby Vision, that is the culprate. They didn't appear to be interested in fixing the firmware. I am curious if this is a 3588SoC / ARM Mali-G610 MP4 issue.
I haven't been able to get any answers from other devs using these chipsets in their devices to know if it is only this device or all of them? If it is only this one, I would love to find a custom firmware that allows the Dolby Vision to play correctly
Hello I have a h96 max v58 does somebody have a android 9 android 10 firmware?
HDR, no working. Why?.
The problem is with videos using the '10BIT-SDR-BT.709' format.
-> 10 bits per pixel, standard dynamic range, matrix: BT.709'
Green stripes appear here during playback.
Videos with '10BIT-HDR-BT.2020' work -> HDR10
For example, if you disable hardware-decoding in Kodi, it works.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you are showing a different version of the H96 than the OP
