Use a mobile as a camera for your PC
These days, it is quite common for a smartphone camera to be better than a camera on a PC. When we download the APK file of this simple app, we will be able to replace our PC webcam with that of an old mobile device that we no longer use.
How to transform a smartphone into a webcam for a computer
USB Camera is a simple app that allows us to use an Android mobile phone camera as a computer webcam. All we have to do is connect the two devices using a USB and set up the options from the tool menu.
As well as enabling us to replace the computer camera with a smartphone camera, we will also be to take photos and record videos while we chat. And, what's more, it provides us with options for adding details, such as time and location.
It can add a timestamp, GPS, speed, and other info on the video frames while recording.
If our PC camera no longer works or if we want to make video calls using a higher quality camera, there is no need to spend money. All we have to do is make the most of what we already have lying around in a drawer somewhere.
Requirements and additional information:
- Minimum operating system requirements: Android 4.4.
