Providing That You Have a Kindle Fire tablet, rather than a basic e-reader (the ones with black and white e-ink screens), then yes, it can be done. You Will Need an Internet Protocol (IP) wireless video camera and a Google account so That You Can download a Suitable viewer app from the Google Play Store. This is needed to display the live image from the camera and, where Applicable, remotely control other functions like pan, tilt, zoom, and focus. Your BT Hub is the other vital ingredient in this setup and it links the camera to your home network (and the Internet) though a Wi-Fi connection, or better still, by a network or LAN cable.
