IP camera focusing app through USB on Smartphone??

Recommended Posts

I am wondering if anyone has done this or knows of someone who can. For installing traditional analog cams I have an Ideal brand test monitor... extremely useful for aim/focus right at the cameras etc. I am wanting to figure out a way to direct plugin to an IP camera with my Samsung Galaxy Nexus smartphone... instead of lugging my laptop up and down a ladder.

 

It seems that this should be feasible...whether or not is possible...IDK

 

I have bought a few items to try out

Pinpoint IP camera focusing adapter

 

I haven't received all of the parts yet but plan on tinkering... has anybody heard of such a thing? I've done searches on the internet for it and all I get is the traditional apps that assume that the cameras are installed on internet network.... but what about right at the camera

why not just plug the camera into a wireless router and then access it through the wifi on your phone?

 

keep in mind for your idea to work, your phone would need drivers for the usb/nic... or more to the point, the usb nic would have to have some sort of android support, which i'm betting it doesn't.
