How to Turn Your Android Phone Into a Webcam

-

 


Laptops come with built-in webcams, desktops do not. Here’s the easiest way to turn your Android phone into a wireless webcam. 

Use DroidCam



















Android users can try a free app called DroidCam to turn it into a webcam.
To get started, you’ll need two pieces of software: the DroidCam Android app from the Play Store and the Windows client from Dev47Apps. Once both are installed, make sure your computer and phone are on the same Wi-Fi network. The DroidCam Android app should have an IP address listed—something like 192.163.2.71—which you can enter in the desktop app to connect the two.

If you prefer to connect over USB rather than Wi-Fi, DroidCam can do that too, though it requires a little advanced finagling with some phone-specific drivers—you can refer to DroidCam’s instructions here. Even if you stick with Wi-Fi, though, you may want to charge your phone while video chatting, since it will drain the battery fairly quickly.

By sideloading these apps, you're risking your personal data. Sometimes apps on the Play Store are not safe either. They can ask for a host of permissions to access data they don't strictly need and push ads to track you. While Google works hard to keep harmful apps out of the store, you should take precautions too. We'll show you how to avoid potentially dangerous apps on Android. 1. Avoid Installing Apps From Unknown Sources The Play Store is the safest place to browse and install Android apps. Google employs a variety of security mechanisms and ensures that apps you download are safe. One such mechanism is Google Play Protect, which works in the background to scan apps from the Play Store and unknown sources.

  As all your online accounts must be secured, your  Google Account  is not an exception. Here are the best ways to secure your Google Account from preying eyes. Secure Your Android Phone If you have an Android phone, your Google account is tied pretty close to it, so it’s important to review your security settings here too. Whatever type of phone you have, you should be putting up some protection via its lock screen. But on Android phones, you can find some extra security settings specific to your Google account. From the Settings app, tap Google, then Security. You’ll see some of the same options we’ve mentioned above, as well as a few extra ones. You can, for example, turn on the feature that lets you remotely locate your phone from a computer, which can come in very handy if someone else gets hold of it. We’d also advise turning on Google Play Protect, as this monitors for suspicious activity in the apps you’ve installed on your device. If you go to Settings, then Security, you can
