SmartCam – adding a free webcam to your computer

Android phones have officially taken over the world. Sort of. Anyway, chances are, you probably use one or may even already have an old one just sitting around. If you’ve ever felt like the webcam on your laptop didn’t allow you the range of motion you wanted, you could use an Android phone as an additional webcam on your computer!

The SmartCam app basically sends the video feed to your computer via your wireless network or Bluetooth. The content is received by a special program you install on your computer. There are “receiver” programs for both Windows and Linux.
