Close, but no cigar ... It would be a nice app, if all those features would actually work in real life. You could turn your andriod into a web cam if not for the fact that you'd need a dedicated PC running a jar based MPJEP streamer app. Who has that to show for, specially if on the move? What good is the spycam app, if it only wurks with SpyBuddy, an app so utterly useless that it can't even record video/pics and can't reliably switch to the front facing camera? The list goes on, including the fact that the http based webinterface requires Java support (not just JavaScript), thus it can only be used from PC based web browsers.

Buyer Beware Previous viewer is correct, it is a pain to configure... but understandable since it has alot of supposed options. The real issue is that by the time you get it configured and attempt to test it, your refund timer is up and you can't get a refund once you find out that the app doesn't do what it says it will do. The one feature I needed was disabled in the "demo" version. What I wanted it for was to record video, however the app would never save video to SD or internal storage no matter what I tried or where I tried to save it. Second, while it did stream video to my web browser across the LAN in MJPEG format, as soon as you switch to another app, the stream dies (even though the app is running as a service as indicated by the HAL eye icon on the toolbar). It even says it's still running, but doing nothing. If the app is not the foreground application, it doesn't work as advertised. So much for "stealthy". All I wanted it for was to record class lectures while I was taking notes. I wasn't even trying to be stealthy. While the app does stream video, it's feature list over promises -alot-.

Best live video stealth cam!!! It's the best for seeing live video through your android phone, I would have rated it a 5 star rating if it would have had support for a front camera. Once there is an update for this app that supports a front camera then I will change my rating to a 5 star rating!! Thanks though
