A Camera app for Android 4.X or lower phones - which will take a photo every X minutes and can upload to a webserver, or can provide a mJPEG video stream directly from the device.
Use Android Developer and import the project as an API 15 level project.
Features
- Can provide a video stream directly from the Android phone (just connect to its IP address); or
- Can take full-resolution photo captures and upload to a remote webserver.
Requirements
- Crap old Android phone.
- Internet access.
- Webserver with PHP or whatever.
Instructions
For period photo capture:
- Install the scripts in public_html/ onto your webserver of choice. Make sure uploads/ is writable by the httpd server.
- Compile and install the Android App onto the phone.
- Change the upload address / URL in the app settings page, to that of your webserver.
- Adjust the user-agent check (or remove it entirely) in the upload.php file, so that the script accepts uploads from your phone User-Agent.
