What is IP Webcam?
IP Webcam is an Android application developed by Pavel Khlebovich that transforms an Android phone into a network camera with various viewing options. It utilizes the phone's camera and internet connectivity to stream real-time video over a WiFi network to be viewed on another device.
Once installed on an Android phone, the app creates a customizable IP camera that can stream footage to a computer or another phone/tablet within the same network. It provides a link that can be entered into a web browser to access the video feed along with options to adjust video resolution, enable night vision, capture images, two-way audio, and more.
IP Webcam offers both wired and wireless connectivity and is compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android devices. It provides security options like password protection and HTTPS encryption for private use. The app allows saving footage locally or enables live streaming services like YouTube to share publicly. It also has plugins to integrate the video into third-party tools.
With customizable resolution and frame rates, IP Webcam can serve monitoring needs for home, office or remote locations with internet access. It turns an extra Android device into a web-based surveillance camera accessible from multiple devices. The set up and configuration process is relatively simple compared to dedicated IP cameras.
