USB Camera

USB Camera is a camera utility app that connects Android devices to USB webcams and capture cards.

USB Camera helps users who need to plug a USB webcam or HDMI capture card into a phone for monitoring, recording, or streaming. It works through USB OTG and turns the device into a viewer and recorder, while also offering a wireless IP camera mode for flexible setups. You can mix audio sources or overlay visuals when needed, so it fits home, studio, and field use. For a quick setup, download USB Camera and follow the on screen guidance.

USB Camera Features

Broad USB device support

USB Camera connects to UVC webcams and video grabbers via OTG. It supports inputs up to 4K over HDMI on compatible capture cards and common formats such as H.264 and H.265 HEVC. It also works with Windows Hello and IR cameras, plus some non UVC devices like certain USB endoscope and EasyCap units. Use a quality OTG cable and stable power.

Recording, IP camera, and display

You can record video or capture snapshots from the connected source. USB Camera can turn the phone into a wireless IP camera using built in RTSP and HTTP servers with bi directional audio when paired with the companion IP Camera app. It offers SBS for FPV goggles and Picture In Picture. Add timestamp, GPS, and speed overlays, enable loop recording with auto segment and auto delete, and keep recording in background. Motion detection can upload clips to FTP with email alerts.

Live streaming and requirements

USB Camera pushes video and audio to RTMP and SRT servers, supports rtmps for secure delivery, and can stream to multiple servers at once. On supported devices, HEVC and AV1 over RTMP are available. HEVC streaming requires Android 5 or above. AV1 streaming needs Android 10 or above. On Android 9 or above, camera permission is required; the driver runs in userspace and works only inside the app.
