From box to big screen in one session
Everything below happens on your TV with the remote in your hand. No computer required, and nothing to configure beyond your Wi-Fi.
What you'll need
- A streaming device — a Fire TV Stick 4K (or newer) or an Android TV device, plugged into the TV where you train.
- A camera — either a Wi-Fi/IP camera pointed at your training area, or a spare Android phone running the EchoLab app.
- Wi-Fi — the TV device and camera need to be on the same network. Internet access is optional.
Set up the TV
Install EchoLab
Search "EchoLab" in the Amazon Appstore on Fire TV, or in Google Play on Android TV, and install the free app.
Choose "Run on this device"
On first launch, EchoLab asks how you want to run it. Pick Run on this device — the whole replay system lives on your TV stick.
Add your camera
EchoLab scans your network for compatible cameras and lists what it finds — pick yours, enter its username and password, and you're connected. Using a phone instead? See below; it appears in the same list automatically.
Check the picture and set your delay
You'll see your camera live to confirm it's aimed right. Then pick a starting delay — 10 seconds is a good default for most drills.
Save your first view
Name the view ("Mat", "Platform", "Ring") and open it. That's it — the screen now shows your training space on a delay, continuously.
Use a phone as your camera
No IP camera? Any spare Android phone works:
Install EchoLab on the phone
Get it free from Google Play, open Settings, and choose Use this phone as a camera.
Tap "Start serving"
The phone starts streaming its camera over your Wi-Fi. Prop it up with a tripod or lean it against a water bottle — it's a camera now.
Pick it on the TV
Back on the TV, the phone shows up by name under "Phone cameras on this network" in the add-camera screen. Select it and you're done.
Tip: keep the phone plugged in for long sessions, and turn the screen brightness down — streaming keeps running either way.
During practice
- Adjust the delay live — press OK during playback to reveal the delay control and dial the offset up or down without interrupting the stream.
- Save a clip — press Play/Pause on the remote when something worth keeping happens. A thumbnail flashes to confirm the save.
- Review later — everything you saved is in the Clips tab, grouped by day. On the phone app you can also download and share clips.
Going Pro
When you're ready for longer delays, side-by-side angles, or slow motion, upgrade inside the app. Sign in by scanning a QR code with your phone — no typing on the TV — and your plan follows you to every device. See pricing.
