How to use Cell Phone Camera as Webcam

Well, you can use your mobile as a webcam. There is a software named Mobiola. You have to download it and install it in your pc/laptop. After that, install phone client (application for phone). Run mobiola software in your PC & than connect your phone to pc/laptop via USB or Bluetooth.

You will see you phone camera is working as a webcam. I am giving the link of the site. Each time you want to use your phone as webcam, you need to run that software.

You can also use this webcam for Skype video calling.

Hope it will be helpful

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.
