Cell phone / Tablet as Camera
Answered
I know early on you had developed an app that let a cell phone be a camera that recorded back to the VMS. I have run into a couple of situation lately where that would come in handy. A way for a security guard to record video from remote sites and have the video go back to the NX server instead of residing on the cell phone. I think Milestone does this already.

HI Matthew,
We didn't have an app to convert any mobile device into a camera, but there are a few available in the Play Store.
Although it has been a few years ago, the one I have experience with is IP-Webcam Pro.
Please test this option to confirm if this matches your expectations.0 -
I remember early on, that the vms detected local network usb webcams is that still working?

Hi Lazer,
I think that would is a misunderstanding, as far as I know, we never had this option. But good news. That is something we are working on. Unfortunately, I don't know when it would be released at this stage. We even made a preview video about it.

Just to add another app: RTSP Camera Server for android will create a stream that NX will pickup.
I always use a VPN connection to my video server networks so it's a 2-step process on my phone - connect VPN and then bring up the RTSP app.Works well for me.

Wow with 4.0 it looks like NX implemented the USB into the software
