Reverse camera app Android
« on: April 02, 2018, 08:48:34 AM »
Ok, I have a Chinese gps/reverse camera device running winCE(cheap as chips I know), is there an app for Android that will work with the wireless signal of the camera.
I would like to use my Samsung 10A tablet as the go to device for everything.
I use Ozi, plus other apps and thpught it would better to have just one screen.
I have searched the app store, nearly all apps are for WiFI devices.
Cheers.

I've seen a few about, not necessarily in the app store.  What camera are you using, and what are its interfaces?

This a very similar unit.

I've even tried using a wireless app to search for it's signal to find what it does.

 Your current unit may use the 2.4GHz band to transmit the signal but it may not be using the WiFi standard as the transmission method.

The one you have linked to is using a wired camera, as DrewXT has said the model of your unit may help to establish what transmission method is being used.

If you are looking to replace the current unit with your tablet it may be simpler to just fit a WiFi type camera instead. There are lots to choose from on Ebay

For example

It's difficult to know what to suggest.  It's most lightly a short range wireless of some variety.  Most tpms systems are similar, but trying to integrate them outside of their intended use scenario can be hell unless you've got access to the gear to scan for the frequency they operate on, and then work out how to tap and manipulate the signal

If you don’t want to throw out your camera you could just get the transmitter (for about the same price)
