I have recently switched to android from windows mobile. I`m very happy with it, but i am wondering if there are any apps out there that would let me use my phone as a webcam??
One i`ve used on wm6 is called mobiola webcam, it would be great to have something similar on my new phone.
To be honest...I don't think anything like that has been created yet...
I had a look around the market and it doesn't seem to bring up anything similar to what you desire...
You can always have a look yourself though in case I missed something...
I have a great MS Mobile app for my Dash, but haven't found anything that does the same thing for my Android Behold II.
What the MS Mobile app does is use your phone camera as a true webcam and streams wirelessly over WiFi (or bluetooth or USB etc...) to your computer and can be used by any PC application as a webcam feed.
Qik et all just feed to a website, not your computer to be used as your webcam feed for Skype etc...
I got a similar question. I want to set up a webcam to watch the dog in the house and be able to open an app to view the webcam to check up on the dog once in a while in an easy way.
Anyone have an idea on the easiest way to go about that? I was just gonna set my laptop up on a table in the room and have the webcam going. I just need a way to see it on my phone.
I upgraded my Evo to 2.2 on Friday and I noticed that when my Evo is plugged in to my laptop sites like Shovio.com and Chatroulette will actually recognize the cameras from the Evo. It'll say "Google Camera Adapter 0" and "Google Camera Adapter 1" or just Google Camera 0, Google Camera 1. BUT it wont actually show the video. Is there a way to enable it? Is there an app? I would think there would be.
Found this while searching, would seem to work, but has to be plugged in to the PC. If you want wireless its going to have a delay, via qik or Ustream. You could use a program like Manycam to capture the stream and use that in skype, but once again it will have a delay.... and capturing it would involve you setting it up on a PC... but you could always walk away and keep broadcasting.
Best bet would be to install the above driver and try that. I'm about to give it a go.

DroidCam works pretty well. No audio support, which makes it not a great webcam replacement if you want a built in mic. The lag really depends on the signal strength, I have found. Other than that, Yahoo and Skype work well with it. GTalk, on the other hand, cannot seem to push the video through, even though in the flash settings you can preview it after setting the allow permission.
"IP webcam" does it. It's free, and it's in the app market. The latency depends on the quality of the network you're on. It works even on 2G, if not brilliantly, of course. But it's almost quick on Wifi.
I had problems figuring IP webcam out. Got some error message I don't rememebr. I also remember seeing a security alert program Don't remember the name of it, but the app looked like a big red fish eye lense that monitors like your front door and when it detects movement, it alets you with an alarm. That sort of acts as a webcam, but not for your intended purpose though.
Who uses the Gmail app for gmail? On 2 occasions now I've accidently hit some button and sent a few index messages into archive and don't know how to retrieve them or even where to start to find them at. It seems like a big mystery just like on Star Trek when they've accidently (spelling) phased people out into space and time and don't know where they went or how to pull them back.
