Can you run Chrome on a android device? I do you chrome on my laptop and it works great reading the BI stream but wanted to use low cost android streaming boxes. Leonard

Yeah I pulled up the TinyCam after your last comment and will likely give that a try.. I guess worst case I can go with one of the $100 mini pcs running W10 and just view on chrome like I do on my laptop. Thanks again for your time and help. Leonard

Veert: Thank you for spending your time getting that info. Does seem to explain how this little computer seem to fail/disconnecct as restarting the app and everything is great until next time. I do have one that seems to never drop the app except when we lose power but this chinese junk does...

Veert: Have I think a similar problem. I run BI on a dedicated W10 machine in a secure vault so I cannot see the display. So to monitor cams around our farm I have tried to use these cheap android computers running the Mobile App to output HDMI. It works ok but every morning it seems they...

I have a 12 camera system on farm and use both wired and wireless ethernet to connect them. To have monitoring a several locations I use a low cost (read chinese) wireless android computer stick with hdmi output and run the BI Mobile app on them. I also have two that are wired ethernet. My...

This is one of the little stick android units so no display or touchscreen. Yes the scroll wheel will move between the three camera options and a Group option that all appear when BI opens but I cannot find a way to scroll down to more Groups and Camera Views.

Using BI mobile for android in a usb stick computer to drive a monitor. I control the stick computer using a laptop type ball mouse and my problem is that I cannot scroll through individual cameras or the multiple Groups I have. This has prevented me from selecting the Group I want. Have tried...

Thanks Fenderman, I kind of feel like doing a polish head slap as I now remember noting that when I first set up the groups per your help. Thanks again for reminding me, will add to my BI setup notes. Leonard

Fenderman: Advise on using Groups worked great, Thank You. Now another question, how do I delete a group. Have tried highlighting and Right click but nothing. I searched forum and BI help but nothing there either. Actually I should say how do i delete a camera from an existing group so I can...

Yes I am using wireless (only because I have to, prefer wired.)because these little PCs only have one usb input and no ethernet input. I am using the usb for a touchpad mouse. Is the auto log setting in the mobile App somewhere. Joe limited the dhcp to .159 up so that is the range. He will be...

Fenderman: Is there a time limit or something on a remote connection. I just came back in and the mobile app had closed on the mini pc. Hope that is not normal or this whole approach will be screwed as i need these to always be on. I have eleven cameras running, some 1080P and most at...

Thanks Fenderman. I figured out the part on groups and meant to email you to save you time replying but wife brought me lunch in so got delayed. I know how to set a static IP in the computers ethernet connection, would that work. If not I will have m son do the router over xmas vacation. i can...

Have played with group some. I can select a camera, go to group, and type in a group name and it add and then ok. When I open group again and type in a second name and hit add it shows both group names but are both highlighted in blue and I hit ok again. When I exit and cone back only one name...

This is getting a little over my head but with BI mobile I had to get the IP address from the server running BI by clicking on Globe. Does that address stay the same if server loses power. Other words is the address set by the router. Also I found the group settings where you create a group...

I tried IP Cam Viewer but had a lot of trouble getting it to connect to my no name chinese cameras. I did find a program for android called Onvifer that uses the Onvif standard to locate cameras and it worked great and is still free. Problem is it is pretty limited on screen layout and the...
