Using an amazon fire tablet as a monitor… good idea or not?

So there’s a deal on this tablet right now, and I’m thinking of using it to wirelessly connect to my Hikvision NVR instead of using an HDMI cable to a regular monitor.

Anyone tried this setup? Does it work well, or should I go with something else? Are there better options out there?

Honestly, a tablet sounds cool for this, but Fire tablets are rough. They’re cheap for a reason, so not the best choice.

I’d go for one of these, it’s around $89. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B095GG31KX/

Works great for all my consoles.

Only thing is, I’d still need to run an HDMI cable to use that.

Oh, I see! Sorry, missed that part.

Are you planning to use HikConnect, or just the web UI? If it’s the web UI, it might need an ActiveX plugin that tablets usually don’t support.
