Does somebody know how to use an android smartphone as webcam with Free Software?
On F-droid I've found
Not a webcam at all.
https://f-droid.org/de/packages/pl.hypeapp.endoscope/ https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.majorkernelpanic.spydroid/ they are all a few years old
So what?
and all offer wifi And no USB solution on sight?
Both of them stream video over RTSP, i. e. over TCP/IP which which is medium-agnostic. So feel free to use USB.
but non of them an encrypted stream.
Why do you need encryption if you are going to use USB connection?
Has somebody seen better instructions for making this work?
I have not tried pl.hypeapp.endoscope but net.majorkernelpanic.spydroid have worked out of a box for me. No instructions needed.
