Your setup for a wall mounted tablet

Can you define an area where yawcam should look for motion or will it trigger every motion the camera is viewing?

I use a “framed” Samsung Tab A (2016) Android tablet with “Fully Kiosk Browser Lockdown” (https://goo.gl/8DU5N0). This setup works great without any issues.

Good morning,

I’m using an Amazon Fire 7" tablet. It took me a while to figure out, how to prevent it from switching off the display after a while (I tried developer mode first, but then found an app called “Keep screen on” which works just fine as well. The fire provides it’s own browser called “Silk” and it works quite well with HabPanel.

(How do you guys solve power supply to your wall mounted displays?)

I use power over ethernet tablets, just one ethernet wire in the back for network and power.

Can you tell us, which tablets you are using? Which tablets have POE?

I don’t have one yet, but I am considering one from geekland, seems reasonably priced and they have wall mount kits. Will review if I wind up pulling the trigger.

I’ve been testing this app for a while now and I must say it’s a geat app!!
It does exactly what I want including motion detection, auto-refresh etc… perfect!

sorry for the late response, yes you can define a specific area

@tailor I like your solution. What are u doing with these “Play”-Buttions in every room?

halloween · February 17, 2017, 7:23am

I think this is for multiroom audio?

xsherlock · February 17, 2017, 10:56pm

I use SIBOs 896 for display of the habpanels.
They do have POE and flush mouting cage.

Has anyone already tried to use such a leather tablet case and only screw the black hardcase directly to the wall?

Would this be a good idea? Will this work?

sihui · February 20, 2017, 6:38pm

For guys like me having an old tablet without POE laying around, one could use a flush mount power supply like this one:

or this one

Nice! Where did you source them?

xsherlock · February 21, 2017, 11:24pm

Just found a supllier on Alibaba. sale04@sibochina.com.cn
I send them money they send the tablets, but don’t count on any warranty. They want you to cover shipping both way and that is more expensive then the unit itself.

Great, thank you!

@wile.e.coyote what mount did you get for the tablet, i have the same File 7, but cant find any wall mounts that it fits in.

zamzon · March 15, 2017, 5:49am

To xsherlock
How do you go to all full screen, in my right upper corner I have to icons like the other pictures do, you have displayed the temperature and time.
How is this done?

xsherlock · March 15, 2017, 6:18am

That is a feature of the Habpanel you add ?kiosk=on to the URL that you call on the tablet startup.
But you loose the navigation between dashboards then, so that is for the specific case like min when I replace dumb switches around the house
