I know there's a way to turn your phone into a webcam using an app like IP Camera, however it seems like my phone only shows up as an available cam when using a chat program like skype etc.
It won't show up in any of the video editing software like Windows Movie Maker, the only available webcam that's available is my computer's built in one.
I have no interest in using my phone as a webcam, I'm wanting to make videos with my phone while it's connected to my computer and have the video appear on my computer's screen simultaneously, is this possible?
Your probably wondering why I don't just record the videos on my phone and transfer it to my computer...because I'd like to see myself on my computer screen as I'm recording a video for things like proper placement and lighting etc.
Thanks

You mean just use the camera on phone, or connect it to computer and then use it on your computer?

Connect it to my computer and then using it to record my videos on my computer. IP Camera won't let me do that it seems.

Hi, I want to ask if there is a application that allow your to record your phone screen. For example Fraps for PCs. Well I need it for YouTube to upload my phone guides.
Thanks in advance.
There's an app called ShootMe that allows you to record the actions of the screen, however it's 10fps max and your phone must be rooted.
I'm also looking for a way to achieve this without having to root my phone, and achieve an exact duplicate of the information that appears on screen. I would like to be able to do this on the phone without having to connect it to the computer.
Another method is using droid VNC Beta and having VNC viewer installed on your computer. The demonstration I saw looked laggy, so what more if you used another screen recording program on the computer to capture the window (displaying the screen of your phone). I tried to set this up and couldn't get it to work. I believe the phone has to be rooted for that aswell.
Anyone else have any suggestions or ideas?
Cheers
Get an MHL adapter, and connect it to something that can record HDMI input.
Probably not the best solution, and it is quite expensive if you don't have the equipment, but it should work (haven't tried it).
Thanks for the suggestion. Was really looking for a way that doesn't require a physical connection. Like if there was a suitable app for doing the job, just as you would record a video using the camera, an app that basically records whatever is on the screen. Well, there is one, but 10fps isn't enough and the phone needs to be rooted.
Hello. Just bought my third HTC phone and I am very happy with it. The 1080P video sounds especially appealing. I saw there was an HDMI adapter which I mentioned to the sales guy and he said that his girlfriend had one(of the phones) and their TV (which has wifi) automatically picked it up. If I am going to take good HD videos it would be great to send them over wifi to my PS3 (preferably) or my computer with a media server on it to watch them easily. I have heard of an app called awesome drop but everything I have seen is getting media ONTO the phone, not off. I know I could just USB to my computer (and maybe even ps3?) but since it can be on my wifi network it would seem there was some way to easily just push the video wirelessly to watch. I know this isn't specific to the Amaze so if you think I will get better answers I can move to a more general Android area. Thanks always XDA.
Also in the same vein is there some app to just directly move any files freely between the phone and my computer (and maybe even ps3?) over wifi? TY

I use iMediaShare Premium to stream videos stored on my device to my XBox 360. I can also stream Youtube and several other services as well. All connect via wifi.
There's a program called PS3 Media Server that is awesome. I haven't yet tried streaming amaze videos, but I will tonight. THis app is very light weight and streams really well. I have yet to have any problems, but I've only streamed some relatively low bandwidth 4:3 video over wireless.
I stream video to my Xbox 360 using an app called Twonky, It's in the Android Market, nice and easy. Let me know if it works for you.

Hey everyone.
I am looking for an app that lets me see my pc screen, just like a monitor would. i know there are some other options like splash screen etc but they are all pretty laggy because they all use internet and they video stream my pc so quality is bad too. while quality is secondary for me lag is deffinetly not so even the program needs me to connect my phone and just works like a monitor without input that would be just fine. isnt there a way to do it? i've heard people do it with their tv i couldnt find anything useful despite searcing for two days.
if you could show me an app that lets me do this with good quality like my phone screen have i would be so happy and pay for the application.
sorry if i am using the wrong section of the forum. thanks in advance
try with iDisplay. I dont have a play store link but just search it. You will then be able to use your phone as pc monitor. You can connect to pc via intetnet or through usb cable

Is there anyway I can stream camera video from android online outside of wifi routher so I can see video from remote computer?
There are copule of solutions but those app only stream video from android to pc over the same wifi routher.
Good program for that is Ip webcam.
And you can also send that video to another android device with tinyCam Monitor.
But I want to stream it online so it could be accesed by remote computer!
One solution is with IP Camera Adapter so you could use video from android as your webcam in skype.
But this is too complicated because you must have your computer turned on, and skype opened.
Some other solutions have same problem because you must have your computer on.
I found one really difficult solution with port forwarding and you have to open host on .no-ip.biz...
So, can it be done only from android phone with one or two programs.

Check DroidCam
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dev47apps.droidcam
ADDED AFTER A BIT OF THINKING
It can work only on same Wi-Fi or USB.
No problem. You can try a workaround. Plug it to a computer where you want camera and install Teamviewer on that PC. Then view that computer's screen (and obviously mobile camera) via teamviewer on your computer.
That makes you to install only 2 softwares on 3 devices.
1) DroidCam on Mobile.
2) Teamviewer on computer near mobile.
3) Teamviewer on your computer where you are going to see video.
Your solution with DroidCam is same as mine with IP Camera Adapter because both makes your android camera as webcam.
Teamviewer is as difficult as with skype and maybe more.
I guess that there is no android app that connects android camera and remote computer but
somehow I am sure that it can be done.
Application Ip webcam is great and lacks only that option.
I found solution. It can be done with Airdroid.
You log on with your email and password on android phone and then you can access from everywhere in the world.
You can check your sms, photos, or turn camera on or off: turn light on, take snapshot.
There is no sound so that is big minus.
We can lock this thread.
I would like to know if there is any easy way to record the activities and views on my Android app to a video without root access. To be a bit more specific, I am looking for a screen-recording solution so that I can get a video of the user's interaction with the app interface. Connecting the phone to any device such as a computer to do the recording is not an option.
Here is a sample gif that I created using a Mac screen recorder to record the iOS simulator interface. It gives a rough idea of what I would like to achieve on Android, except for the fact that I would like the same to be from the actual phone (not the emulator) and without having to connect the phone to a computer or any other device.

this works fine,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.org.invisibility.recordablefree
but you have to connect it to pc ONLY first time, after that no need for PC, and does not require root
Thanks @arana1, but I really need to avoid even that first time connection to the PC.
