What is the crowd's opinion of DroidCam?

From 3.5 billion comments

I posted that :D

Seems as if the developer is updating the app soon. You can still download it along with the PC software here

You need both the android app AND the windows client.

You'll need to get this - http://www.dev47apps.com/ - and then use either USB or the ip address it gives you to connect wirelessly. I have used both - but my Note has the loose charging port issue where I lose that data connection easily. I have not noticed any lag using the wifi option. If you choose to use USB, you'll need to enable USB debugging on your phone.

This guide will help.

Also, the camera must be active and working, from my experience, before Broadcast will detect it.

Droidcam also uses your phone's mic, and you can disable that in the settings if you want.

The free version works fine. I paid for it because I like the app, and it adds some functionalities that are useful, but it's wholly unnecessary to buy the app.

Try the one called droidcam I used the pro version to use the camera in 1080x60 it give me the option for any of the cameras at the back area of the phone, it does has some development tool being going on atm because the release http://www.dev47apps.com made does use a single camera (depending on your selection) and the obs camera beta release looks like it does use all the cameras at the same time cleaning your hdmi output of the phone camera if that make sense, the pro version its great and has several options but if you open the log viewer, it does say how may Ms are added to the delay in your particular setting

Hope it helps you!

You can, by using DroidCam:

Here's how it works:

Note that connecting the phone via WiFi instead usually results in better quality images, a more stable frame rate and a reduced risk of the phone overheating. You could still plug it into the PC to charge it, without using the USB connection to send the image to the PC.

I've successfully used http://www.kinoni.com/ via WiFi, supports iOS and Android and Windows and MacOS as base station. We had the MacOS viewer connected to Syphon and from there into QLab.

I've also seen http://www.dev47apps.com/ which only supports Android on mobile but windows and Linux as base station. I've never used this tool.

It looks like your motherboard BIOS is quite out of date. I'd recommend updating to the latest so we can know that the motherboard is as stable as MSI have been able to make it.

If we're to believe the Driver Verifier enabled dump file it looks like a driver named droidcam.sys made an improper pool allocation. The driver timestamp looks like it's the latest from this page, though. If necessary, I'd try disconnecting the device, uninstalling the associated software, rebooting, and then plugging the device back in to see if Windows Update can find a driver for it. Before doing that, though...

There's also a driver named mcaudrv_x64.sys loading with is pretty old (2013). It looks like it came from this software and I'd recommend checking for a newer version. It's possible that it interacts with the droidcam driver so I wouldn't be surprised if mcaudrv_x64.sys is the actual culprit.

I'm pretty sure there are a few options for that, here's the first one I found: http://www.dev47apps.com/droidcam/

It would also be interesting to have FOIP implemented in a future Spectrum smartphone app allowing you to make 'video calls' from outside of the game.

he explains it right here. at least an explaination of 1080p. its not because of the network. its something to do with decoding the a/v in the chat program.

also i wouldn't go as far as call it crapware. its actually a decent program and saved me from buy a webcam when i talk to my gf when she's away, but to each his own.

edit: looks like most web cams are 720p anyways, it's not a step above the rest. For me its a solution that works for what I need.

Yes, it relies on network, the phone doesn't present as a camera (ah, now I understand that you meant USB/kernel sorcery on the phone).

But you can connect it over USB via ADB, so no WiFi is needed, and the PC programs see a normal webcam.

Oh, and if either of you don't have a webcam, but have an Android 2.1+ powered phone, Dev47Apps has a combination app on phone/program on computer (For Linux based and Windows OSes) that will allow you to use the phone over wifi as a webcam on your computer. Windows version even supports audio, though I'm not sure if you need the paid version for that, since I use Ubuntu.
