Watching Cameras on TV using Roku and Samsung Tablet

[JimandYen]

Samsung has a tool called "Screen Mirroring" that searches for devices on your network to show the display on.
(I use a Galaxy Tab A)

The problem was I never could get this to work with our TV unless it connected through the Roku 3 player.
Now I can view the cameras on the Q-See app on the TV screen.

Oh well. Nothing useful here but it was fun....:excitement:

(I'm sure someone has talked about this but I searched and couldn't find any posts on here. Sorry if I'm repeating what someone else posted..)

What camera's or NVR are you connecting the Q-see app to? A Q-see system or something else?

It's a Q-see system with added Dahua cams.

What app is it on the ROKU? Or is it not through the ROKU now?

I'm looking for a good ROKU app to pull my cameras in on.

It's actually not any app. I just leave the Roku on the home screen. The screen is basically showing whatever is on my Samsung tablet. The app on the tablet is for the Q-See cameras.

Confusing, yet magical lol
I've seen the android ROKU app do that for video and pictures.

I haven't tried that app yet.

It is confusing though. My phone will connect to the TV and send videos. The Samsung tablet won't connect to the TV directly but only goes through the Roku player. Nothing tech on my part I just got it working by accident.

I'm doing something similar but with different components:
I run Blue Iris on my PC.
TV is using a Google Chromecast stick
Run Chrome on PC and launch to Blue Iris web page
Cast the page showing all my cams to my TV

That's a good way to do that. Might get Blue Iris sometime in the future. My TV browser won't download a plugin to make it work.
