Expert's Review
This is one of those original ideas that makes our life easier. We all like to increase the potential and the functionalities of our Android, and this app it's on that track. It uses the back camera (or the front if you prefer it) of your device as a webcam. You will need tough to donwload the app from the market, as well as a desktop software to your PC. It works so far for Windows and Linux computer clients.
Once both software will be installed, you may introduce you IP address in the app and start to videochat through the videocall messenger service you prefer. What's more, you can connect via 3G, bluetooth and USB (that works over ADB Bridge). It supports varios video formats and high resolution, but it just available for Android 2.1 and later.
It has to be said that the idea is great but has some flaws. some messenger service as Yahoo don't recognized it. What's more, there are some bugs, especially in the latest updates: forceclosings, error messages and crashes. We hope it will be solved soon, because we think it's a really worthy app.
This is the paid version of DroidCam with includes improved features ($4.25). You can give a try to the free version DroidCam Wireless WebCam.
DroidCam Wireless Webcam has been developed by Dev47, an emerging developer who has just launched this app (and its free version) in the market.
This is one of those app that makes us save some money by adding new functionalities of our Android. Some points need to be improved and some bugs fixed but we think developers are on the right track.
*note* if you are having problems with Skype v6.2 please re-download and re-install client to fix the problem *
PC Client (and some setup) REQUIRED. Windows or Linux clients available. Follow in-app messages. It is recommended that you try the FREE version of Droidcam first to make sure everything works (PC client is same for both versions).

Some of the features are only available if your phone is running Android 2.2+

This app works great. Over WiFi I get a fantastic frame rate, really clear picture and the zoom/led functions work perfectly.

Awesome! Works perfectly. Had some issues with the android USB driver, but finally made it work and However the driver is not a problem of the app developers.

It is verry good ....!

It works except waiting for a solution to app quitting on its own after abt 6 hours of use (connection over WiFi/LAN). Because of the quitting problem, not reliable as surveillance cam. Would give more stars if that is solved.
