Learn how to install the ScreenStream application on your Android device for viewing on any web browser via a LAN IP address
ScreenStream is a free and open source Android application that allows your Android device to be viewed in a web browser by IP address. The application does not require root access or another app to be installed on receiving device.
I require an easy way to use the phone camera in order to view the chicken coop. ScreenStream does not control the Android device, which means that I need to find a way to prevent the screen from sleeping and to prevent the camera application from going to the background.
