IPad Display + Surveillance cam?

[misty talon]

Hi All,

I have a few older iPads I was hoping to repurpose for a few wall mounted displays, as well as have it double as a surveillance camera if possible? Anyone done something similar?

Hi. I have done this with a pixel tablet, without a problem, using the ha app and ipwebcam, so it should be possible with ipads as well.

it will run the camera in the background, without the app open?

ipwebcam on android does, yes.
