Also because of the number of options, you are more likely to find a less expensive device that meets your needs. Many of the apps available for iPhone are also available for Android devices including QR code readers. To find a device that meet your criteria and your price range, you can do a search at froogle.com by adding keywords from your mobile device criteria (ex. \u201cAndroid wifi camera video\u201d). Change the list to order by price (low to high). I did a preliminary search and found that most of the lower cost options can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/mn\/search\/?_encoding=UTF8&amp;tag=clydelettsome-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;field-keywords=wifi%20camera%20android&amp;url=search-alias%3Daps#\/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias=aps\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon.com<\/a>*.<\/p>\n<p>B.T.W.
