1. Visit on your computer to download, install, and get more info on usage. - Chat using "DroidCam Webcam" on your computer, including Sound and Picture. - Completely free with no usage limits or watermarks. - Use other (non camera) apps with DroidCam in the background. - Keeps working with the screen off to conserve battery. - IP web camera MJPEG access (access camera via a browser or from another phone/tablet/etc). - Pro features on the Windows client including video mirror, flip, rotate, contrast, brightness and other controls.
2. The app works with a PC client that connects the computer with your phone.
3. Windows and Linux clients are available.
4. A bargain compared to actual webcams sold in store!
1. It is also 90 degrees rotation and can only adjust this with the pro version.Cannot rotate the camera, so I have to awkwardly hold my phone it in the air.
2. You have to make sure that the phone app is already running and visible on the phone screen (not in just running in background) while you open the app on the computer or it will say it's an error, connection reset or lost.
3. Image quality is good, audio less so, but that may be due to the hardware I'm using.You would think using Windows 10 and Samsung GS 7 phone it wouldn't be such torture trying to get the phone to connect via USB.
4. I've been working on this for an hour, restarting the computer, turning things on and off on the phone, and trying all the suggestions on the Help page.
5. Extremely time consuming if you are teaching and using it as a document camera back and forth quickly.I needed a new camera for working from home during the pandemic and I found there was a webcam shortage.
6. In the settings on my computer software I can choose which cell camera to use and computer or cell audio, so lots of options.Works very well.
7. The option to switch from front and back cameras is so cumbersome, because you have to turn the camera off, hit the menu, hit settings, scroll down, select camera, select front/back, go back and turn it on.
8. But it does so much more.You can have 2 or more phones going at once with split screen, like a TV network, dividing the screen in infinite combinations.You can record a video with 2 or more phones like that.
9. Almost gave it a 5.Really neat app setup, that allows an unused smart phone to be used as a webcam.
10. The one minor complaint I have is the ad system to get HD video doesn't work, it's a Facebook ad that is not a video and does not ever end on its own without closing it (which of course denies the HD).
11. The main problem is on the computer side; the video lags significantly and I have to stop and start the stream on the PC every minute or so to get it to keep up.
I wanted to upgrade to pro so I did the free trial but it didn't work so I would like to unsubscribe before I have to do a payment
