Wirelessly shoot photo from non-wifi webcam

-1

I'm planning to put my action camera at my backyard to perform time-lapse.

At the computer, I have a program called "TinCam". Normally, I connect my camera to PC and TinCam takes photo from camera (camera works as webcam).

Now, I need to do that wirelessly, but the camera doesn't have timelapse or wifi function.

Uhhhh well.. few ideas...

  • build it a wireless controller with as cheap Pi.
  • buy a really really really long usb extension cord to connect it to the computer.
  • buy a cheap tablet, microusb <-> usb connector for it, and use the tablet as an access point.

I think tablets can't handle webcams. Maybe application called "IP Webcam" for android, would be perfect. I need to think about it. – Fubz – 2016-04-07T16:12:00.550

@Fubz android tablets are linux, there are apps that can work with it. – OneOfOne – 2016-04-07T21:08:38.420
