What is the best android app to view a webcam on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 tablet.
The webcam will be plugged into the tablet via a usb plug

Thank you in advance

I doubt it will work at all. The tablet would need drivers for the camera.

Your only option would be to buy a camera that specifically works with Android.

What you need if it’s for monitoring things at home while you are away from home is an IP camera and most of these come with apps to view on your Smartphone but the camera needs to be connected to your home router.

IP cameras don’t normally need a computer once set up so no need to leave the computer on at home while your away.
