Android devices are multifunctional due to the use of the operating system, which is flexible in operation and settings. One of the functions of devices on Android, which few people know about, is the ability to use the device as a full-fledged webcam for a computer. This article will describe step by step what you need to do to use Android as a webcam.
First of all, every Android device must be equipped with special utilities, which we will talk about later. Some of these programs allow you to use the Internet as a source of connection, while others modify the Android gadget into a webcam via USB.
Let's consider each of the applications:
The first is the Droid Wireless Webcam . Located at the link. The utility must be installed on a computer and mobile gadget. Next, choose a connection method. Devices can be connected via Wi-Fi or with a cable. In the latter case, you need to activate the debug mode (menu-settings). Next, you should run the application on your PC. The main menu will display the IP address and port – you need to remember this value, enable the utility on the device and enter it in the 'port address' menu. If everything was done correctly, an image from the webcam will appear on the phone or tablet after connecting. The last step is to turn on the program that uses the camera and select Droid Cam from the options offered in the settings. It can also be used as a microphone.
