How to use Cell Phone Camera as Webcam

Here are different ways you can use your Smartphone’s built-in camera as webcam for your computer using Android applications. First one you can try is the DroidCam Wireless Webcam. This small Android application can turn your mobile phone’s camera into a webcam and then connect it to your computer using Wi-Fi or via USB cable.

This application allows you to chat with your friends using Skype, Yahoo! Messenger, MSN, and so on. It also enables you to talk via DroidCam Microphone though the audio support is only experimental. It requires Android 2.1 and higher.

Another Android app you can try is the IP Webcam. This handy utility application converts your handset into a network camera and offers multiple viewing options. You can view and check your camera either using a web browser or through VLC media player. It is also capable of streaming video within a Wi-Fi network and without using the internet. IP Webcam supports Android 1.6 and later.
