Ever wanted to observe your home or office while you're out and about? If you have a WowWee* Rovio robotic webcam, now you can control it with your Android device using AndRovio! You can check on the house (or chase the cat around) while waiting in line or relaxing at the beach!
- Full motion, camera arm & headlight control using familiar on-screen controls
- Path Playback - You can play back any of your pre-recorded paths by simply tapping the path button and selecting a path (Paths must be recorded using the standard Rovio web interface)
- Take Snapshots - You can trigger the Rovio's built-in snapshot function, or save snapshots to your device for normal gallery viewing & sharing. You also have the option to automatically set the maximum image size & quality during snapshots, then automatically restore to the previous settings for normal use
- Panic button to stop all activity, for those moments when your Rovio is clearly doing something you didn't intend :)
- Video brightness booster helps compensate for the Rovio's dark image sensor
- Video aspect ratio controls in both portrait and landscape mode let you customize the camera view to look good on any screen shape and size
- Add a second URL/port and toggle between them - great as a quick-switch between home & work network configurations.
- Command HUD shows all commands sent to the Rovio as text overlaid on the camera view. Be confident that you pushed the correct button. :)
