Can I get a webcam for my Android tablet? Is there such a thing as a webcam for Android devices? I have a tablet PC made by Acer, it has a USB port and I would like to connect it to a webcam pointing out on to my garden. However, I can't find one that works with Android; user groups suggest that what I am trying to do is impossible. Surely not? Alan Thomas, by email Someone somewhere may well have developed one but there's really no need as there is already many fine products on the market that do the job. Network IP cameras connect to a home hub or router network via a cable or Wi-Fi link and you can view the video feed on your tablet using an app supplied by the camera manufacturer, or one of the many free generic apps on Google Play. This kind of setup also means that you will be able to see what's going on anywhere in the world on your tablet or smartphone, when connected to the Internet through a wi-fi hotspot or 3G. Basic fixed-view cable-connected IP cameras sell from around £25 whilst more elaborate models, with wireless connectivity, infrared night time illumination, remotely controllable pan and tilt functions and two-way audio cost from £40 or so.
