So the next step is to install AtHome Camera for Android or iOS on the device you’ll use for monitoring. You don’t have many options in AVS app, except Dimming the screen, and change the streamer name, username and/or password. X9 camera support might need to be improved, as I lost access to the webcam a few times. I installed the app in Zidoo X9 TV box to which I connected a UVC USB camera in order to monitor… my chameleon plush / pillow. The app will show with the name AVS, and it should detect your camera automatically, and show a live feed. But I’ve just found out an app called “ AtHome Video Streamer” can transform any Android device with camera support into as IP camera for security or monitoring.


Some Android mini PCs come with cameras, for example Measy U2C or CS928, but depending on firmware support, most will also take a USB webcam, and the obvious application is for video conferencing with Skype or Google Hangout.
