Android or IOS Device as CCTV Camera.

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone, I am having trouble finding info on how to set this up, and am wanting to know if anyone else has had success at all.

 

I have a Dahua nvr with a few ip cameras throughout the house. What I am wanting to do is use an old android phone or tablet as a wireless camera over the local wifi connection and record to the N.V.R.

 

I have downloaded an App called "IP Webcam" Which allows me to use the android device (phone) as a wireless webcam, which I can log into via the computer and view the footage live, so I'm half way there. But I cant get the NVR to recognise the camera on the network.

 

I am wondering if its as simple as changing which port it uses, or possibly getting webcam software which allows the webcamera to be recognised as an onvif camera?

 

I am aware I can record the web camera footage directly to the computer, but Ideally it would be good to get it running through the N.V.R.

 

Cheers.
