Remote cam app

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.
Droidvncserver - for droid (free in the market)
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.

An app to record what's happening on my screen

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.

I'm interested as well.

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.

This actually sounds great to me. I just don't know what VNC is. Do you know of a guide I can follow or can you make one? Sorry if its too much to ask?

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.

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.

control android camera from desktop?

I think my roommate has been taking money from my wallet and I always come home with my belongings moved around. is there an app/ desktop program that lets me remote control my android camera, turn it on at my command without making any noise or indication that its on, and let me view live from my computer?

There are a few. Here's one. If you search the market for 'Spy Cam' or google 'Android spy cam', you'll find more...maybe even a free one. Sounds like you need a new roommate. Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

ipwebcam is awesome. wasn't even looking for anything like this.

when you take "full-res" photos with ipwebcam are the images really full res or only about 1MP?

webcam to android device possible?

Is it possible to connect a usb webcam to an android device? my reasoning is that I take photography images with our telescope, the eyepiece has an HD webcam for capturing images. It would be nice to use a smaller cellphone for image capture than a laptop; I have tried the cellphone itself but the camera is cumbersome for alignment. thanks to any reply and idea.

Dude what's wrong with you??

you needs a kernel that support an USB-CAM and additional a software that can handle the new usb-webcam device.
I think its easier to use a webcam with wifi.

Google store, try to search for this app

Yah i think Droidcam could help you.

So, that i know, maybe it's possible with serious risk for your device, because you need to find a good kernel for you device and configure it with good voltage and sure parameters; after that, you need of a converter usb OTG and of a specifically software for this work.
I don't know other informations!
Have a nice day
p.s.: google say similar things

you could search for a older version of youtube in hopes that that will fix your problem, honestly i have Wifi issues, shows the whole video is loaded but i keep getting the loading screen :/
