Hello, any tips on a remote control for the camera?
I have seen the selfie sticks, and wonder if there is a proven "remote only" for the native camera app?
Kind regards, Vozie
Haven't seen anything about the stock camera app, but I do know that some 3rd party apps like A Better Camera allow to use the talk button on a headset to operate shutter.

If you have another android phone as well, try the app named sharelens.
You place the one phone for taking the shot on eg a tripod , and use the other phone to take the pic via wifi remotely. You can even focus and see live what you are taking and at quite a distance. As long as you are in wifi range. Quality depends on the camera taking the picture and it is wirelessly transferred and recorded on the phone used as remote. I have taken some shots which would have been impossible with just one phone. Try it if it was what you meant [emoji13] [emoji2]
I have got this. Pair it via BT and you are good to go. Works with any BT device, some apps have problems with remotes and do weird stuff. Default app, however, works like a charm. The ios button works like zoom in button.
As for buy link, I can't help
Got mine last summer in China. EBay is your best bet.

I want to fix a broken TV remote with an intermittent fault, is there a simple program just to monitor the Infrared port of my XDAIIi of any signals? I thought of using some type of TV remote program but to constantly put it in to the learning mode would make the whole process of repairing my remote a pain. I need the program to just sit there all the time giving me a indiacation of any recieved signals. Any ideas?
Cheers
I think there is a simpler and more convinient way:
Do you have a video camera, digital stills camera or even a web-cam? I think anything with a CCD or similar sensor will do.
I don't know of any program that might help you, but I know monitoring IR for real time signal on devices that don't support CIR is a problem which is why most remote control appsm like Vito remote only support certain devices.
Does XDAIIi support CIR standard?

I don't if the XDAIIi supports CIR standard! If have a kodak digital stills camra...
Haven't you ever tried pointing the remote at the camera and looking at the display? For some reason, CCD sensors show infrared as white lite...
It works both with my old Sony video camera and Olympus digital stills camera. You can see the led light up as if it were a regular lightbulb, even in daylight and with the red plastic cover still on.
This should be perfect for your purpose.

Hi, i tried it out on the camra on my XdaIIi on does what you said, cheers!
At last a use for the crappy XdaIIi camra!
Glad it works for you!
I just remembered that they used to sell Sony video cameras (around 98 I think) with infrared light built in for shooting in the dark. It was pretty neat, since you could see everything through the camera like 'night vision' yet others couldn't see you. Also you could by a separate light for models that didn't have the built in option (like mine).
Hey
I'm looking for an Android application that I can install on my old Galaxy S phone that will allow me to remotely control it from my current phone and take and record pictures, activate a microphone, play a sound, live stream from wherever I want, but on a secure connection. Is there a way to do this? I would love to set it up so I could use it to see who is at the door, and maybe cause a little scare by playing a sound on them if they don't expect it, lol.
Really? There is no app to turn my Galaxy S into a web camera?

You use the phone as a camera, and can view what its recording on your computer. Uses a LAN to connect so the computer and phone must be on the same WiFi.

Does anyone know of a way for the camera to record video and use the Bluetooth via headset for audio? Or any other cheap wireless mic solution that will work with on an android phone and doesn't require recording audio and video separately? Thanks

If you connect your BT headset it still records from it's normal mic?

Yes. The camera app only records from the internal mic. I really need a wireless solution that allows me to have the microphone several meters away to record the sound. I could only find wired solutions and they were not even for android.
I think I've got it!
so, I've been trying to do this exact same thing for about a week now, and I think I've got it. with the help of some random people on the internet.
it seems this is actually a two part problem.
1) get the device to recognize the bluetooth microphone (from a headset or other bluetooth wireless device).
2) get the audio into a video recording.
it seems that android and an OS is not readily prepared to do either of these, and the built in video recorder cannot use audio from a source other than the devices built-in microphone.....so....we have to improvise a little.
First, we will need to get android to play nice with the bluetooth device. start by installing a free little app called "bt mono" you can find it on the google play store.
once installed you will need to run this any time you want to use your bluetooth device in a way other than as a phone.
on a side note, this works great for listening to music via a bluetooth headset.
second you will need a video recorder that can take the audio input that bt mono gives you. so, run back over to the google play store and get "lgCamera"
the only thing you have to do now is tell lgCamera that you want to use the "microphone" as the audio source.
thats it. you now have a video recorder on your phone/tablet that will use "almost" any bluetooth device as the audio input.
I have this exact set up on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus with CM 10.1.0 rooted, and it works perfectly. I am not sure if this works with unrooted devices, though I don't see why it wouldn't. hope this helps anyone who's been dredging the depths of the interwebs!
very special thanks to david hadaller and to Warren Barton for the breakdown and links!

You are right! Tks!
Hi bud...
did you find any solution-for phone camera to record video and use the Bluetooth via headset for audio?
i looking for same too Sam.Note4 but no luck so far
Yes. lgCamera and BT Mono works on android. It properly records the video from the phone and the audio captured from my Nokia HS-3W Bluetooth Headset.
Tested with Sony Ericsson LT18i.
Cinema FV-5 has a setting for audio source, and BT works
The only problem - 'cinema fv-5' doesn't seem to utilize the front camera, only the main one.
(can't post the link, search on play store for 'cinema fv-5')
Hello. I kinda worked for 3 secs then it automatically switch back to internal mic.
I have level u headphone and note 5. Is is there anyway to make it stay?
is there any solution that we could hack the OS to make external Bluetooth Mic recognised by the native video camera app in the android phone? its so silly that if you try for example "Open Camera" app from play store the external mic works fine. But i am interested to use the native Camera app for video recordings
any thoughts or feedback will be much appreciated!!
Cinema FV-5 Front Camera
To utilize the front camera on Cinema FV-5 swipe from Left to Right.
If you swipe the left menu bar to the right it will switch to the front camera.
This is documented NO WHERE in the user manual. I found it when I purchased the Camera FV-5 app. On a pop-up instructional screen it said to swipe the left menu bar from left to right to engage the front camera. The photo camera version also has an icon on the right menu bar that switches the photo camera to the front camera but there is no icon nor instructions for the video camera.
It works. Cinema FV-5 works excellently with any bluetooth headset to record audio on video from the BT headset. Just make sure to have the BT headset connected before you open Cinema FV-5 or there may be connection issues to the app.
These are some of the videos that use audio from the BT headset around my neck.
The videos are on YouTube, just paste the ending part below at the end of YouTube.com i.e. /endingpart

An in-ear headset is actually clearer and I've just switched to that type of BT headset but I don't have any of those uploaded at the time of this posting..
UPDATE: Although the swipe left to right will switch to the front camera, the BT audio does not work with the front camera, only the rear camera. Perhaps Cinema FV-5 will fix this with a future update.
Hi guys, we could manage this function through the btmono app, up to version 8. Today, we are at 11 and the situation has not changed .. They say for safety but I cannot give up this solution and I remain at 8.
Do you guys who got this to work with BT Mono and lgCamera have a link to the playstore lgCamera app? I searched it but could not find it. Thanks!

I also do not find it on playstore. Probably it is outdated. I can only see it on apkpure https://m.apkpure.com/lgcamera/rubberbigpepper.lgCamera
Hey all,
I am looking for an app that lets me control a no name projector via my phones infared blaster. All the apps I have tried get you to pick the brand before letting you try and find the right signal to send but this device doesn't have a brand. Is there an app that will let me record the signal from the existing remote (I know not all deivces have an IR receiver but I believe the HTC m9 does.. side question, does anyone know if the honor 8 has this)? If not, is there an app that will cycle through random ones like a trial and error (I have a little universal remote where you hold the button until the tv responds)?
Cheers
I'm looking for an app that can auto record. And also do much more than the default DVR.
DVR
You have answered yourself (and me) in Malaysk PX5 thread
For anyone that used search to get here:
Most 3rd party DVR apps just do not work (are for mobiles and tablets, not for car Units), I have tried many with different results.
The stock app is very basic but it can autorecord every X minutes, just leave it to record and it will stop/start when you stop/start your car. If the Unit reboots, just press record in the DVR app again (or use a tasker).
The stock DVR needs some rework to add these options (see here):

- delete files size based (SD card size specify x Gb)
- delete files time based (older than x days)
- mark important files "never delete" (like accident recordings)

UPD: 19-09-2017
I found out recently that the stock DVR app automatically deletes the oldest recordings on the selected memory card when there is less than 150MB free space left on the card.
A bit crude but it seems to work.
I use the 2nd SD slot on my Unit for the CarRecorder. So it has 32Gb for itself.
It took a while to get near full and for me to see that it actually does delete files
Only thing that is still missing (IMO) in this app is the option to mark files 'Important' and never delete, but if you move out those files to another folder (outside /CarRecorder/) then the app does not touch them.
Additional note: the stock DVR app only seems to supports the DVR USB camera devices that can be ordered together with the units. In other words: does likely not support regular PC USB camera's.
what hardware DVR are you using?
are you using USB DVR?
what is the name of the STOCK DVR app are you referring?
thank you
Maybe you can try this one.

Would you be good enough to tell me the exact tasker command required to start the recording that you mention please?
Can someone reupload the built in apk of the application DVR Assistant?
My car's dash cam didn't come with the app built in.

It is built in, you need to enable it in Factory Settings:
Settings > Car > Factory Settings > Password '126'
The first page lists built in apps that can be enabled for your hardware. I think the option is called DVR and you can select USB from the drop-down list.
Hi everyone. I have a slightly different unit to yours in that it doesn't have the DVR option in the factory settings. I bought a small camera which plugs into the Aux video in in the back of the unit (not the reverse cam signal, but same plug). the cam and HU work together when I open the AUX app which came pre-loaded in the HU. However I can't seem to find any way to make it record. All other android apps won't work as they don't look for a cam signal coming from the Aux port.
Does anyone know any apps that would use the AUX signal?
I don’t think there is any app that can do that. As a compromise, you can use one that captures your screen, so you preview the camera and record your screen. Hope it helps!
