Default Phone/ tablet use for poor man's LR camera

Ok, had an idea. I have a s8 Samsung phone and s4 Samsung tablet. Can I use my phone camera set up close to target and view on my tablet at my shooting spot?. What app does this? Will it work? What do I need to do? Seems like a cheap way to confirm hits/ misses way out there.. Any suggestions, comments?

Here's what I did. I down loaded at one video streamer on one device and at one camera on the other. This is a app service that will turn an old phone into a security camera/ baby monitor... After signing in and setting up my phone will now display my tablets video / camera feed and vise versa. Simply set one device up down range aimed at target and keep other device at your shooting station..bingo poor man's target camera

Does it run over data? If not, what's the range?
