Is it possible to view a live feed through the phone? I have been tasked with installing a few cameras to monitor our job site and the cameras have component video out. It would be great if I could just plug the phone into the video feed and be able to view footage and also for aligning the cameras.

I don't believe so. I can view our video cameras from work, but that is done via wireless methods.
I don't think the phone is capable of doing video in. We can only send video out. I would find a way to turn your cameras into an IP camera and then you can view all of them through an app.
We set up a security camera in our house by using an old Android phone and an app that transmits the video online. Just in idea in case your boss wants immediate results.

Wasn't sure if if this should go in General, Q & A, or Apps..
In any case, I'm wondering if there's any way or any app out there which would allow for recording a video at the same time from both the front facing and rear facing camera?
For example, as a motorsports enthusiast who goes to track days at times on road courses, I think it would be very neat if I were able to attach the phone to the windshield using a suction mount with the rear camera facing the front of the vehicle and have a way to record a video with both the video feed from the rear facing camera (showing the view out the front of the vehicle) as well as from the front facing camera (showing the view out the rear of the vehicle) and have the app do a PiP (picture in picture) of the video. It would be a lot more easy and slick than using two separate camera's/video sources, and then later having to time sync them using some type of video editing software on a pc.
Just a random thought I had and figured I'd throw it out there for information..

Sounds like an extraordinary idea for an app!
don't know if it's possible.
I will try lol
but i don't think theres any app out there who can do it,
Yeah, I've searched around and haven't found an app that does anything like what I describe, but I'd have to think it's gotta be possible to query both of the video signals from each camera at the same time and then put them together and save it to the SD card. I'm certainly not a dev or programmer, but with as versatile as Android is I'd be surprised if it's technically not possible, just maybe no one with the know how has felt there was enough desire/interest for such an app,...yet.
This sounds like a great idea but not to sure our phones could handle the over head needed for that multitask. Maybe one of the newer phones with dual core could but I doubt this one could. Now that I said that someone will prove me wrong
I've captured some slow motion video on the G3, but when I try to export it anywhere, or play it in another player it just speeds up to normal speed.
Surely this can't be right. It should save the video to be played exactly how you see it in the native player on any other device.
Does anybody know how to get it to stay as slow motion even after you've exported it, or save it as seen in slow motion?
To let you know I have done a search for this issue within xda, and it doesn't show any related threads. Has nobody experienced this issue?

Hi,
Your Video is fine. Just use a Player like VLC and reduce the playback speed.
Thats how slomo works!

Thanks, I thought it would be better if it actually slowed the footage down as a saved file (like on the Xperia Z2), then at least you could post it to a shared website and show off your creation. Is there no way to do that?

Check the PlayStore - there must be an app for that Good Luck! If you find something, share it!
The HTC One (M8), Sony Z2 and iPhones have a video editor that can slow down parts of a slow motion video, while keeping the rest of it at normal speed.
Has anybody found a similar app on the Play Store?
Or even, has anybody managed to make the Sony or HTC app work on other devices like the G3?
EDIT: The Sony Z2 app is called "Timeshift Video".
Im looking for this too.
Its crazy - shows slowmo video in gallery app - but with normal speed in Photos app
What are you guys taking slow motion video of anyway bouncy boobs lol
It doesn't matter what you take a slomo video of, the point is that the phone doesn't let you save the movie in a way that can be played in other devices. Surely it should do that.
I've seen a few slomo videos on YouTube made on the LG G3, how have they done that, if you can't actually save the video as the slowmotion version?
Surely, you'd want to show off various or interesting slomo videos to friends and family, so there must be a way to do it. I've looked for an app, but surely it should be native on the phone?
e.g. on my old HTC EVO 3D, the 3d videos were stored as 3D to see on a 3D TV for example if saved on a USB. Surely if you save the SloMo video to a USB you should be able to see the video in its slow version on a TV. Is this something that LG overlooked, or is there something that we're all missing on the phone?
The recorded video file is ~120 fps:
Frame rate mode : Variable
Frame rate : 119.659 fps
Minimum frame rate : 116.732 fps
Maximum frame rate : 122.783 fps
To see it in slow motion you would have to set it as 30 fps on a computer and save it again. No need to recompress it or anything (so no quality drop at all) but you need this extra step to play it back on a device where you cannot manually slow it down.

Thanks for that info, I wish thought that the phone natively did that, so there was no need for that extra step, I think LG are missing a trick there.

The most simple way I know is to use mkvtoolnix (free, open source and works on windows/linux/mac)
Open the GUI, drag or add the file you want to work on, select the video track, go to format specific options and select your desired fps. Then press "start muxing".
Screenshot - sorry, can't post direct links yet so please remove the spaces:

Thanks; upgraded from 6.2 to 7.1 and mixed away. Video worked well but audio didn't seem to work out well
When I shot something in slomo on my Galaxy S4 the resulting video was slomo in all viewing apps or when uploade to facebook or youtube. only being able to view it in slomo in the LG gallery app is dumb. As much as they advertise the G3 as a great photo device the camera app actually sucks balls. Samsungs camera app is light years better and IOSs blows them both out. It still baffles me that android has no tap exposure and lock capability....
Is there an app that will save the lg g3 recorded slow mo videos and directly share them so everyone can see the videos in slow mo?
When uploading videos in youtube you get an option to increase or decrease default video playback speed.

I use an app called Lapse it Pro to import the file then render and save it at 20fps. After rendering..I'm able to share it as a video file
I have had this security camera for one week now and have it setup wirelessly outside of my patio.
Build
The build of this camera is very good. Majority of this camera is made from metal and has some weight and toughness when holding it.
Picture Quality
Picture of this camera is 720p with a one megapixel camera. Picture quality is clear and I have not have any problems with the quality. Look at some of the pictures I took with the camera.
Connectivity/SetUp
The camera has an ethernet cable but can also be connected wirelessly. I have an app downloaded on my phone called P2PWifiCam and setting it up wit my phone was very easy. And for viewing on my computer I use ONVIF heres a link for it http://sourceforge.net/projects/onvifdm/
SetUp with both my latop and phone was not difficult and now I can watch my house through my phone or computer.
Other Features
Some other things I like about this camera is that it has motion detection so anytime there is motion detected when I am not home I get an email alert.
If anyone is having trouble setting the item up ask away on this thread. Also if interested in buying this product here is an additional 20% off code 2V74UHML for amazon and link for the item http://www.amazon.com/dp/B014K87OFQ/ref=pdp_new_dp_review
what app does the cam support?
i never installed such ip cam before,is it easy to operate?what about privacy security issue?

Yeah setup is easy and there is no security issues. The apps you use for viewing the camera are encrypted and require passwords to use.
I have a better question, why would you create an account on XDA with your email address being a screen name?!? That is just asking for spam...

I have a weird problem...while I shot video with front camera ...the video flips(mirrors) after saving....I find nothing in settings to correct it?
Any ways to fix it?Also tell you are experiencing this problem or not?
N B-there is an option in settings and I am fully aware of ...but that only flips the mirrored front cam image..that does not correct the video file..
That's not a weird problem, that is normal. Most phones do that.
The video does not flip after you save it , it's the opposite: The video is mirrored when you are looking at the live image while recording. This is made on purpose, and the reason is that our brains are used to see ourselves in the mirror.
See attachment. This flips your videos and photos after saving. Just enable or disable it how you like it.

So how to fix it?
So one thing that I understood from the launch live is that google has collabbed with Snapchat to bring full implementation of HDR within the app.
My biggest doubt is.. will it also fully integrate with all the other social network apps or not? I mean apps like TikTok, Instagram and most of all, Whatsapp..
What makes an android phone so bad for socials is that they totally cripple camera performance once you use a third party camera app. On the other end iPhone's do it perfectly. If only the Pixel filled this gap, it would be a no brainer choosing Android over iOS..!
I currently have a Pixel 3 XL and every time I use the camera to take photos in Whatsapp or videos in tiktok, its utterly ugly, it looks like the pic was taken from a Galaxy s4.
I'm still not so sure if we even have "true" HDR10 (or better, like Dolby Vision on Iphone 13Max) on the Pixel. Did anyone actually try to look at picture/videofootage at a HDR capable monitor/TV and did HDR kick in?
As far as I know, it's all some fake-ass SDR vivid-algorithm BS.

I guess we/you'd have to transfer footage of your phone (video/photos) to a HDR capable device (like an LG CX or something like that) and see if HDR kicks in. It's also possible to detect this with Windows tools like MediaInfo. If the video is recorded with HDR it will have a color space of BT. 2020 also know as REC.2020.
Even though it's kinda tricky to determine if it really is shot in 10bit. There is a differenec between color depth and color space, meaning a video can be shot in 8bit and can still output a HDR signal, even though it lacks all basic features that HDR should offer. This whole HDR story is a joke at this point, it's basically broken in Windows, the whole industry is split in several factions (HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision...), there is almost no cross-compatibility and then you can't even trust the output of a file, as explained earlier.
It sucks, and it sucks hard. I - for example - tried to get Mass Effect: Andromeda working with Windows 11 (Dolby Vision) and stopped after about 9 hours of troubleshooting because of Black Screen problems, rainbow color issues, crashs, forced restarts because the Windows UI crashed/became invisible...
HDR is just a mess. It only works well if you put a streaming device directly into an HDR capable Television and use Apps like Disney+, Netflix, HBO MAX or something like that.
It's a shame, because footage shot in true HDR look simply stunning.

i'm getting ColorSpace YUV with video and pictures, even when using Open Camera with HDR enabled.
I haven't had any issues in Windows with my second Monitor that has HDR capabilities....but there are times when I turn it off because it doesn't look the best in some games.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition was having wash out issues on my pc until I turned it off
