G+_Michael Healy Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Anybody know of a way to remotely answer Google hangouts video calls? Or something like that? Like a way to automatically answer video calls without having to touch a tablet at all or even be near it. I recently setup my N7 as a ip camera as ayaz did in #KnowHow episode 57. It got me thinking though if there was a way to always answer video calls, that would be useful to me. Anyone got any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Steve C Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Why would you want video calls to be answered if you aren't there? Isn't the whole purpose of a video call to be able to see the other person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Andre Klärner Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I think this could be called "livestream on demand". Maybe this can be accomplished using Tasker or alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Michael Healy Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Haha I know it's funny I set it up so I can check in on my dog while I'm at work. The setup I have now works for that somewhat but there's some audio latency issues, (not too bad though) and my dog nocked the tablet off the desk I think maybe because he was freaked out lol. Buy he heard my voice and all he saw was himself in the tablet. If I could use hangouts maybe he wouldn't nock it down if he sees me he might not? But also that got me thinking if I could just have a dedicated tablet or something somewhere that I could just call when I'm not home and automatically be live with video and audio to my house. Maybe if my girl isn't answering her phone I could see if she's home that way or if my sister or someone stopped here when I'm not home I could know. Think that would just be kinda cool to be able to automatically have live video and audio to my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Steve C Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Maybe you could teach the dog to touch the screen to answer it? I'm not sure about using it to spy on girls though, you could do that with a Dropcam or Slingbox that has a camera attached to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Erinç F?rt?na Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Use live video stream like my brother. He wanted to watch his dog too and i suggest him ustream. Install ustream app to tablet, stream it with password protected channel, watch via web or app from anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
