Really bad image rendering with an Android. Big delay between what the camera filmed & what appears on the computer screen. If I passed my hand in front of the camera, my hand appeared black (and I really do mean black black) and grainy on the screen. Trying to tweak things didn't make a difference! Really bad results! I had to search for a different app that would work right away, without tweaking, and without any delays. I found an absolutely marvelous app called "Droidcam"! I Love Droidcam!

App is very nice and simple to use. It is feature rich and powerful. It turned an old useless Android phone into something functional again. Only discrepancy that I can see for my usage is if the video is set as portrait and at maximum resolution of 800x480. However, when I take a photo (photo.jpg or photoaf.jpg), the photo takes at the resolution I set but it takes it in landscape mode. Is this not able to be override by the orientation setting?

I use this for live streaming. Works well if you don't have an Apple phone. I'd recommend it. Go on, download it! You'll like it, I promise. After you get the right settings for good quality, you can just start stream, send ip, select settings, copy url, paste, stream! Sounds hard but it's not. Really, best app for Android.

The app is stable for skype calls or similar platforms. But I miss two features in the "actions..." tab while the server is running. I can't switch directly between my front and rear camera. I only can select which camera opens before starting the server or change between the cameras in the web interface. And the second feature I miss is the option to mirror the camera in the "actions..." tab. This is only available in the web interface under advanced settings. It would be a lot easier to use.

Extremely un-user friendly interface. At no point whatsoever was I able to share my video stream with my friend in their iPhone via the web. The convoluted and different methods did nothing to help the user experience, which was VERY poor. 1 star until this mess of an app is updated to be user-friendly.

Works well as a webcam as long as video really is the only thing you need, because the "http:/.../video" source only gives video. After finally managing to get audio streams via /audio.wav and /audio.aac (It's not really explained anywhere), the audio delay was MASSIVE (several seconds). In OBS for example the lowest I can go with media source buffering is 1MB, which probably is the cause for this. Audio would've been nice, because as it turns out, my Galaxy S7 has 2 very good mics built, which are actually better than my 70eur headset mic. If I try to set it up in Windows using ONVIF and add it as a device, it stops working after just a few seconds or whenever I try to change any settings. This could be Windows' own fault though.
