Using Phone as Webcam with DroidCam: USB Connection Setup & Troubleshooting Guide

Hello, please help with the maintenance and installation of DroidCam or other similar program. I want to use my phone's camera as a webcam via a usb port. There is a lot of information on this topic in the network, but I have a problem with the installation, the DroidCam program seems appropriate, but I can not set up a connection via usb. In tel, debugging is turned on, I do according to the instructions in the link below, but it does not work.

I am asking for precise guidance on how to connect it.

Maybe your phone doesn't support it? instead of having fun with it, buy yourself a good webcam

Read this article - IP Webcam and other.

DroidCam is also featured.

Personally, with great success, I use OBS Camera on iPhone (from 6S to 7Plus) with plug for OBS program. I tested other solutions like DroidCam, ip web cam and NDI + for Android, but unfortunately one big failure, in the form of huge delays and low image quality or even OBS "crashes" (bitrate loss, frame rate, increased cpu load)

Hello, thanks for your interest and help I coped with DoridCam, everything works, a very good and simple program to use the webcam from the phone, as a webcam. After connecting with a USB cable, delays are very small and you can easily use it as a webcam or for convenient video recording. When it comes to wireless connection via wifi, there are delays, but you can also use it.

The applet is really easy to use.
It is enough to rewrite the data from the phone to the browser.
Minus - no visibility to the outside.
It only works on the local network.

I also tested the IP web cam application and when it comes to wireless wifi it performed much better in terms of latency than the DroidCam.

DroidCam I had a problem to connect via usb cable because phone driver was missing on pc, everything works after installation.

greetings

It is good that you also worked it in handy.

I tried to set the DroidCam to usb - unfortunately a failure. I turned on debugging in the phone's development options and then nothing. In general, the app on the phone turns off this debugging, but turning it on doesn't do anything. Due to the distance of the camera behind the monitor, the image is notoriously out of focus. It cannot be corrected in any way. All the buttons on the DroidCam on the bottom bar obviously don't work. I am using the Huawei P10 phone

I do not want to forget, but I have worked on the topic many times and it works for me without anything.

I will write that it works without a problem on Wifi ... great thing ... just be in the same network ... install DridCam on the cell, then on the DroidCam Client computer, see what ip and port DroidCam has on the cell and enter this data on the computer ... and it works, everything is fine in the tutorial

Hello, I will not create a new topic, so I will write in it. DroidCam works on USB and Wifi without any problems, but does not display the image in full resolution. I will write from the beginning, I want to use the camera from the phone to record an image, e.g. in bandicam, and the image from the camera from the phone I want to have on the computer, the phone connected via a USB cable. DroidCam works like that, but it does not record in full resolution that the phone supports. What program can I do it with?

greetings

In the paid version of DroidCam you can set 720p.

There are also other programs, check -> https://alternativeto.net/software/droidcam/

Hello, thanks for the answer, in fact in the paid version of DroidCam you can set 720p I didn't know about it, you already helped me Thanks for the link, I'll check what will work well.

I recommend irium webcam, full hd goes on wifi without jams.

Someone has already recommended this irium to me, but I don't want the app to work on the phone. Unfortunately, the DroidCam in 720p becomes silent. I tested these programs from the link above, but unfortunately it is not very effective.

I will write this, I have an unnecessary samsung s3 mini phone and a trap with prock core duo 2x 2.2Ghz and 3gb ram. I want to make it a set only for image recording, e.g. in bandicam in 720p resolution. It is best if the phone is connected via usb because there is charging and probably better quality than via wifi. The phone itself in the video application records very well, but I need a picture on the computer.

Maybe some program that will give an image from android to computer?

greetings

DroidCam in 720 never muddy me, maybe your cell phone or internet connection is not working?
