What are the options to get a picture from an external video camera in an android application? I did not find any devices with video-in, and very few devices with USB-host.
Strictly speaking, there is only bluetooth? Or am I obsessed and haven't noticed any other obvious solution? WiFi was considered, but it turns out too fat :(

Why? In my opinion, the easiest way is to start a stream with a video and an android phone to haw it.

Another option is an IP camera.
Or a system of mirrors in front of a hardware camera :)

I don’t know what this effect is called correctly, but usually 10 minutes after posting a question on the forum, you yourself always find the answer.
