Use You Android Mobile As Webcam Via Wi-fi ,USB & Bluetooth



After reading this article, you’ll be able to use your Android phone as a webcam for Skype, Google Talk, Facebook,yahoo or any other program on your computer that can use a webcam. I was frustrated that Skype didn’t allow video chat for my phone when they recently updated their app to allow this, and decided to figure out a way to do this using the existing video camera on my phone. Why buy a separate webcam if you can use the one in your pocket?

Your phone should already support video and have either wi-fi, USBor bluetooth.

How to do this....


IP Webcam                          

IP Webcam workson wi-fi & you can also use it with USB tethering. so you need your phone to be connected that way to use this app. The setup is pretty easy but there are a few things you needed to configure in Skype correctly to use it. I could not get it to work in Gmail chat (Google Talk) so that is a big disadvantage. Also, it support audio also adding a advantage to it. It works on Ip based network.You can connect it to your computer with USB tether or with Wi-Fi.

Settings for IP Webcam

  • Go here in your web browser: http://your.ip.address.here:8080/ (replace your.ip.address.here with the IP address that appears in the app on your phone). You will see instructions and a link to the video feed.
  • Download and install this program: http://webcamxp.com/home.aspx (only video, & Use as it your mic)
  • In Skype Options > Video settings, select “IP Webcam MJPG” as the source.
  • Click on the Webcam settings button under Skype Video Settings; use the raw URL option at the top and enter your video feed address – for examplehttp://192.168.1.1/videofeed (replace 192.168.1.1 with your IP address from the app on the phone).
Droid Cam  


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. You can use it with Wi-Fi & Bluetooth. Audio function also available.

 Smart cam     

    SmartCam works via Bluetooth (with audio and video – but the audio is a little choppy) and wi-fi. You can change the resolution, unlike DroidCam, so it gets a thumbs up there.
