I run BlueStacks Android emulator in Windows with the EseeCloud Android app to access my security cameras. I also install the app on my Android phone to access them from anywhere.

We use Android for our security cameras as well, on computers, tablets and phones. There are a lot of apps and products made for Android phones these days that work well with a computer.
The Subsystem for Android is not technically an emulator and it is more efficient in most applications. Computers are so powerful these days and BlueStacks is mature and refined that this is not that noticeable. Somehow the system just feels a little smoother to me and a little better integrated into Windows, although you still have to do a little jockeying to do things like add books to your favorite book reading program. Why book reading applications tend to be better on Android than in Linux and Windows... I don’t really understand.
