How to use use your Android Device as webcam of your Computer

| |

Droid Cam
DroidCam

DroidCam is a bit easier to install and work with compared to IP Webcam. But it seems like there are more options available in IP Webcam; with DroidCam the free version doesn’t allow you to change the video format or resolution. Droidcam works with Gmail chat and Skype. I could not get the USB option to work, as you need to forward ports on your computer (I can’t do this with my current firewall). Wi-fi and Bluetooth work fine. The audio works but its a bit choppy — not ready for prime-time yet.
Price: Free (DroidCamX upgrade available)
Requires: 2.1+
Market Link: DroidCam
Developer: Dev47Apps
  • Go to their website to get the application for your computer and install it.
  • Open the app on your computer and the app on your phone.
  • On your computer, choose which method to use (Wi-fi, USB, or Bluetooth)
  • If you’re using Wi-fi, enter the IP address that appears in the app on your phone into the DroidCam client and select audio, video, or both (only video is possible via Bluetooth)
  • Click Connect on the DroidCam client to start streaming video (if using Bluetooth, click Prepare)
  • In Skype or Gmail chat video settings select “DroidCam” as the source.
