Anyone know if there is an app out there that let's me remotely (from another computer) activate my phone camera or camcorder and have it stream the vid or camera shot to the computer I'm accessing the phone on????
Like....set the phone up for remote security or spying...etc....and access the live stream from another computer......the catch is I have to be able to turn on the video/viewing remotely........
Over the network or WiFi would be sweet in case the phone was stolen you could also see where it was and who stole it????
Thanks guys!!!

Found one. Works flawlessly....free too.

Use in conjunction with tightvnc viewer - on your pc (free from tightvnc.com)

IP Webcam works too. I tried it out last week. Might be more what you are looking for.
Actually the app needs to be started first. Or you could start it with droid vnc and then view the stream in a web browser or vlc.

I was looking to get a app that I can control my laptop through the internet, anyone have any experience with these apps, ive only seen a few out there. I want to use dropbox with it too so i can just store, send, receive files from my laptop to my phone whenever.
Gmote works great... flakey on 64bit win7 but does the best of them all.

I think he's looking for a remote desktop like app, and not a remote. I myself would also like to know if anyone has any opinions on a good remote desktop app.
PhoneMyPC isn't cheap, but well worth the mullah. I mostly use it to control my mouse when streaming netflix, but features are robust.

You'll also need to download a client for your PC. Uses your gmail l/p to remote into your box.

Anyone know of one that works with Ubuntu?
I also use phoneMyPC. It's a wonderful app. Well worth the money. Especially with a hardware keyboard. If you have 2 monitors, you can have the app bring up the monitor you wish to view. You can bring up a cursor on your screen which can be used to drag and drop files too.
I could not live without this app.

I use this as an RDP client to get into terminal services at work. Works really well.
I've tried most of them out there and have settled on PhoneMyPC. I find the interface the cleanest, especially if you are accessing a computer with more than one monitor (I use on one with 3).
Logme in ignition I can do it all as if I were literally using another computer to do the remote session.

+1 on Android VNC, and Gmote to just remotely control the mouse and keyboard, there both perfect....but thanks guys for PhoneMyPC and PocketCloud, will def check em out too!
Can these remote apps somehow be configured (i don't see how they could be) to wake up a sleeping computer? I am a firefighter so I am gone for twenty four hours and remote access would be really useful...

+1 for LogMeIn Ignition. Use it all the time.
I've used phone my pc and wyse pocket cloud. They both have their pluses but I would say pocket cloud edges out phone my pc for better functionality. Although if you don't have ultimate or enterprise versions of windows you're pretty much stuck using phone my pc...
Has anyone developed an app that records everything that's happening on my screen? I have seen videos on youtubes of people showing off their phones and it looks like someone is recording just what's happening on the screen, not the phone it self. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks.

It's done with ShootMe (root required).
Not to bash the app but shootme just takes screenshots at max 10 per second to make it a video. It doesn't work for what I'm trying to show.
Is there any app that can capture the device at at least 20-30FPS?

This isn't exactly what you are after. but it might help you
You can install a VNC server on your phone from
the market and install some type of VNC viewer on your PC ,by doing that,
you can stream your phones screen to your PC and record it as a video
on your pc.

It is actually very straight forward to setup.
All you need to do is :
Download and install droid VNC server on your phone from the market (free or paid)
and download a vnc client on your pc , if you are using Linux you can install
"gtk vnc viewer" or any other one ,they are many available. or if you are using
windows, download TightVNC from download.com (cnet) and install it on your pc
on your phone, open up the app and and press start server it will give you some sort of ip address ,
from your pc open the viewer (TightVNC is both viewer and server) type the address and hit connect.
and thats all there is to it . Obviously both your pc and your phone should be connected to a wireless network.

An app to record what's happening on my screen
For me that VNC app was terribly slow. Wouldnt be useful for recording your screen.
It also depend on the client you are using on your pc
And your network speed too.
But yeah the video is not going to be as smooth as recording your desktop. Its basically like using remote desktop.
You can also do it the otherway around so you can control your pc from your phone.

Any update at all on this? Any new apps around that do it properly?

Works perfectly for me, note you must have the android SDK installed, and point the program to it on first run.
Use ShootMe and at the top were it shows 'A heartbeat monitor thing' click that and click screencast. This will allow you to make videos of whats going on on your screen.. +Rep if I helped.

I had no idea ShootMe had a screencast option and I've been using it for over a year. Thanks so much. I've been using the android sdk and a program called [email protected], but ShootMe is a bit easier.

Hello there, I'm wondering if there's a way to stream my multimedia content from my PC to my Note.
I don't really like using Dropbox or other online storage services.
Is there a way to directly stream?
Thanks.
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda app-developers app
Just share the folder on your network then access it using es file explorer or some other explorer that allows lan file discovery
If you want to actually stream the content, not just make it appear in es explorer and such, look into upnp/dlna.

Try remote media center (play store). You can access your content while on your home wifi and also over the mobile data network. It is used along with remote potato server that you install on your pc. This setup works flawlessly for me.
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda premium
I believe Plex also allows. Access outside the home does it not? But one would assume that using streaming in that matter outside the home must devour your data.
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda app-developers app
So my basic problem is that I have a lot of media on my home desktop. It's a home built machine that has no sounds and runs windows xp
I have no problem streaming video over wifi. Everything works absolutely fine that way.
What I want to know is how to open media that's on my computer from a remote location (using a separate wifi network)
I'm currently using team viewer for remote access and it works for many things but it doesn't allow me to stream video to my phone. It allows me to play video on my computer and to view it but this is useless without sound
I'm considering trying to make a vpn but I'm not very computer literate.
Any suggestions?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
No such thing has been done yet to my understanding, you can only stream over a WI-FI network so far

I can't remember the name of the app, but there is a program that allows 2 mobile devices (tablets and/or smartphones) to connect this way. The app for the host device is a paid app but each addon device utilizes a free controller app. In this instance, your HTC would use the paid host app to be used with a stereo, TV, computer, etc and your s3 (and any other phones/tablets) would use the free remote control app. I'll see if I can find it again
