Yes via an app and an Android phone or connecting it to a computer without the SD card installed and using a webcam program.

There are also the A/V Cables that can be used too, but it's only SD output.

So what do I need to connect it to an android tablet or phone?

Just an OTG cable:

Make sure you have the Mobius fully charged and disable USB data port charging via mSetup

There's more info on the Android side here:

Both will work, but they have to be fairly modern. My 3 year old HTC Android does not support the Mobius USB Config (aMCA) or the Mobius Live HD (ExtCam) , but my Samsung Galaxy S tablet work flawless with the programs.

You need an On The Go cable, but get the "Y" type which will supply power to the Mobius in case your phone or tablet isn't capable of supplying power.

Here are a couple depending on your phone connector (mini or micro usb).

I use the mobius video cable connected to a cheap reversing camera screen and a power cable to cigarete lighter plug as I use capacitors in my mobius
