This is userspace driver so it used for the app only. Android does not allow to install kernel driver so it unable to use for third-party apps.

Ratings and reviews

Tried to use with an endoscope/ borescope. It has a variety of settings and features, but UI not so good. Worst of all -ads cover a portion of the screen, which becomes significant in landscape mode. That made me uninstall and instead use an alternate app called "Endoscope Camera". Much simpler, and automatically comes up showing the image as soon as I plug in the camera. After all, that's really all that I need it to do. No prompts, settings, questions... it just runs and records if needed.

Bad picture and sound quality. While I found it easy to use, a big letdown was despite the fact the picture and sound quality are OK on my normal TV, while the VHS plays back on the app the picture is fuzzy in parts and there's a static noise throughout. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if there's a way around this issue?

Gett the app to connect to my USB camera is hit and miss. Works well when it connects but I can't figure out how to consistently connect
