Turn your Android Phone Into an IP Webcam
Posted by Jon Westfall in "Android Software" @ 04:00 AM
"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. Download IP Webcam from Android Market and run it. Main settings will appear on your screen with the camera preview on the background. Variety of image sizes are available depending on your camera resolution. Image quality can be adjusted as well (this is actually recording quality, the higher it is the more bandwidth it will take)."
Addictive Tips has a nice write-up about IP Webcam, a piece of software that might finally make it worth it for me to carry my G1 around again. Simply load it up and you'll get a makeshift webcam through your Android Phone. Great for wherever you need to temporarily spy!
