I have been given an android phone for something.
I want a camera mounted a few feet away above me, not easy to see the screen or press the button to press.
No problem with my old canon M50. Well no problem to flip the screen around and watch upside down, but the small record button isn't the best.
I shoudl be able to monitor the camera screen on a phone app, I haven't tried it.

The android phones camera would do the job nicely, but the screen isn't really easy to see and the go/start/shutter button isn't great.
It would be handy if I could use another phone as a monitor or even to work the shutter button.
I have got another android phone to use as a monitor.
I did some searching and was surprised this wasn't a thing that was done, maybe I was just asking google the wrong question.
I tried some app[inkwire?] , it didn't work.

Is there a simple way of monitoring one phone's camera/screen on another phone?

I put that app on both phones.
I started to go though the questions and came to a thing wanting details of how I will pay for
stuff. Have all apps with 'in app purchases' got that?
I thought of something else while I was ticking yes/no to things in the app; bluetooth between the phones would be better than using the wifi. The wifi isn't reliable in my workshop.
I have just found an app that sounds perfect, it's called SayCheese. The phones are out in the workshop so I can't try it.
