Fire Tablet Security Camera?

[zcherol76]

Hey everyone! I currently have my fire tablet installed in the wall using full kiosk browser. I was curious is there a way to use my front camera as a security camera? If it catches motion it notifies me and turns on?

Are you just trying to get the tablet to turn on when someone walks by? You can do that in Fully Kiosk settings.

Wake Fire Tablet

I have a Fire Tablet that is always on running sharptools. What I’d like to do is have it only turn the screen on when someone approaches it. I’ve looked at all of the ways to root this device and none of them will work because of the Release it is on. Is there anyway to turn on the device screen using motion from a HE motion sensor which does require rooting it?

This should really be one of the first things people see when setting up Fully Kiosk, it took me way too long to figure out

No basically what I want to do is use the front camera as a security camera in a sense. When it catches motion my phone gets notified or I can even view the camera from my phone?

I remember seeing something like droidcam or other app to turn a phone into webcam. I never personally tried, but I have seen others done it, although I doubt the stability. But that may give you some direction.
