Has anyone successfully connected an android phone running droidcam?
Assume it shouldn't be too difficult as it's just an HTTP connect...

I know this is an Old Post but I thought you might be interested in this.
Years ago I ran an Android software that turns your cell camera into an IP camera.
I don't remember the name but it was a popular one.
I tested it on a Wi-Fi network with zoneminder and it worked great.
Then I decided that I wanted to be able to use my phone how to record video from my cell camera to zoneminder while on the cell network.
I had a VPN server in my network so I put openvpn on my cell phone and whenever I started the IP camera program it recorded on my server back at my house.
