Raspicam Remote

Sat Feb 25, 2017 6:28 pm

Help needed with Raspicam Remote.
I just set my Rpi3 up as a WiFi hot spot to stream to my Samsung tablet. The tablet connects fine to Rpi3.
I loaded Raspicam Remote on my tablet and then updated the Rpi3 with VLC per the instructions.

I cannot get my connection to work. First I'm not real clear on what the Username, password and port should be so I've used the name and password I assigned to the Rpi3 when I set up the Hotspot.
I don't really don't know what the port should be, it defaults to 8081.

When I click the motion check box and try to connect I get the message
Meg connection error:http followed by my ip address and 8081.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Host is: the IP address or domain name for your Raspberry
Username is: pi
Password is: raspberry (unless you've changed it)
Port # is: 22

I still cannot connect.
I get the message that the connection failed.
"172.24.1.1 connection failed" 172...... is my ip address of my pi3
I'm using port 22, the name I have setup for my Rpi3 is Pi3-AP and the password is raspberay as you stated.

Is there something else I should be checking?

Have you enabled ssh, because that isn't automatically done with latest Raspbian?

sudo touch /boot/ssh; sudo reboot
