Practical how-tos for turning your phone into a Wi-Fi webcam, IP camera, document camera and more.
How to use your phone as a webcam for your PC
Turn your Android phone into a sharp webcam for video calls on your computer. WebCam streams over your Wi-Fi to any browser, or into OBS over RTSP — no cloud, no account, no cables.
Turn an old phone into a Wi-Fi IP camera
Reuse an old Android phone as a private IP camera for your home, office or workshop. WebCam streams to any browser on your network — no subscription and no cloud account.
Stream your phone to VLC and OBS over RTSP
Use your phone as an RTSP camera source. WebCam's Streaming-apps mode gives you an RTSP URL with H.264 video and optional audio that opens in VLC, OBS and other players.
Set up a phone document camera for teaching
Make a simple document or overhead camera with your phone. WebCam streams the view to any browser so students or colleagues can see pages, notes and demos live over Wi-Fi.
Use a spare phone as a pet monitor
Point a spare Android phone at your pet and watch live from another device on the same Wi-Fi. WebCam keeps the stream on your network — no cloud account or subscription required.
