Thinking of turning your Android phone into a network camera? Yes, it is possible. Ip Webcam can turn your phone camera into a webcam and do tweaks like image quality, image size, and set login & password to secure it. On the top of all these features, no special player is required, you can preview video on famous browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Chrome. The tool is multi-platform supported, and can be used in combination with several third-party desktop apps, such as The KM Player, VLC Player and Skype etc. What’s even better is that it doesn’t even require you to be connected to the internet in order to avail the surveillance feature, since it can work absolutely fine over the home network, too.
If you’re planning to video chat with Skype, Chatroulette or Windows Live, IP Webcam is a suitable choice that can also be streamed through VLC player or your browser. Unusually for this sort of application, IP Webcam doesn’t need any PC client software installed – you can literally plug in and go! With your Android phone positioned how you want it and connected to your PC via USB (for best results), this IP Webcam is a popular choice.
There are many apps capable of broadcasting the output from the camera on your Android phone as an MJPEG stream. One such app is the IP Webcam app by PAS. This application is capable of broadcasting in the background, on startup, with a password, and with varied quality and resolution. Download this application and, once you’re finished configuring the broadcast, select Start server.
So, if you’re looking for something to do with an old EVO or Android device, or you just need a wireless webcam to spy on cats or a baby, IP Webcam is a useful little free program to play with. Do keep in mind you are most likely subject to governing laws concerning hidden cameras, so please don’t use this where you’re not supposed to.
IP cameras have considerably more functionality than their analog counterparts due to the available technology which allows for great flexibility. This is also driven by end users increasing demands on the products that shape the video surveillance market.
Many IP cameras publish both audio and video feeds in other stream formats – like MP4 or ASF or RTSP. iSpy can connect to most of these using the FFMPEG plugin (included) and others using the VLC plugin. To use VLC you will need to download and install it, then restart iSpy and select VLC when adding a camera. The URL to connect to your camera feeds should be available in the manual that came with your camera or on request from the manufacturer. Alternatively you could use a program like Fiddler to find out what the URL is by monitoring the network traffic (see troubleshooting).
After all, IP cameras have a processor in them, and do web serving, and that... well, that really isn’t a reason for them to be expensive. Some sort of premium seems to go on anything connected with the security industry.
Setting up the cameras is reportedly as straightforward as entering its unique ID code into the web account. Streams can be shared, though at present only Internet Explorer is supported; D-Link claim other browsers will be added shortly.
