VoCore Forum

Hey guys, first off I do apologize for being new to working with hardware like this.

I am trying to build a prototype piece of hardware that does the following:

- hosts a wifi network as a switch (creating local intranet), allowing IP webcams to connect wirelessly
- supply video feeds from the IP webcams via OTG cable to mobile device

Thanks for all your help and any advice if I should inquire elsewhere maybe.

Hello Travis,

- hosts a wifi network as a switch (creating local intranet), allowing IP webcams to connect wirelessly

This should work without doing anything other than connecting your web cameras to the vocore.

- supply video feeds from the IP webcams via OTG cable to mobile device

When you say mobile device, do you mean Android and or IOS?

I don't know how you would do this with IOS, however, I do know how to do this with and Android device:

1) cross compile ADB or find a MIPS binary of ADB
2) install ADB on the vocore
3) in the boot up script of the vocore, setup port forwarding using ADB

The command would look something like: adb forward <local> <remote>

This essentially tethers the android device onto the vocore network bridging the android and the cameras.

It's been awhile since I've done this, I believe there is one additional step required for routes and the like, however, this should be enough information to get you started in the right direction.
