PIPcam TV Camera Smart Overlay app analytics for September 2

PIPcam is the ultimate monitoring tool for Android TV and Media Boxes. It allows you to view your IP camera feeds, web dashboards, or important notifications in a Picture-in-Picture (PiP) window that floats above any other application. Whether you are watching a movie or playing a game, you can stay connected to your home’s security and automation. 🌟 Key Features: •Live Camera Overlay: View RTSP, HLS, and other video streams in a customizable window. •Smart Home Ready: Perfectly integrates with Home Assistant, Node-RED, Hubitat, and more. •Interactive Notifications: Display alerts with text, images, and clickable buttons that can trigger webhooks (e.g., "Open Gate"). •Auto-Start: Optionally starts the background server automatically when your TV powers on. •Customizable UI: Control the size, position, transparency, and duration of the overlay via a simple API. 🛡️ Privacy & Security (Important): PIPcam values your privacy. •Overlay Permission: This app requires the "Display over other apps" permission. This is used EXCLUSIVELY to render the camera/notification window over other active applications (like Netflix or YouTube). •No Data Collection: PIPcam DOES NOT collect, record, or transmit any data from the applications you are watching. It does not "see" your screen content. •Local Server: The app operates as a local HTTP server on your network. No cloud accounts or external servers are required, ensuring your camera feeds stay private. 🚀 Usage Guide & Integration: PIPcam acts as a receiver. To show content, you send a JSON request via HTTP POST to your TV's IP address on port 55559.
