UsbWebCamera

This can preview and capture movie & still image from web camera w/o root.

Features & Capabilities

UsbWebCamera is an Android app that allows you to preview and capture movies and still images from USB webcams without requiring root access. It supports USB Video Class (UVC) webcams and works on Android 4.4 and above. Key features include capturing MP4 movies up to 3 minutes long, still image (PNG) capture, interval shooting, mirror displays, customizable image settings (brightness, contrast, saturation, etc.), and screen orientation control. Users can also reduce battery consumption by limiting FPS, adjusting preview quality, and controlling screen dimming.

Please note that some devices may have compatibility issues, especially certain Android versions and devices with MediaTek, Rockchip, and Allwinner CPUs. It is recommended to use a self-powered USB hub to stabilize power supply. The free version displays ads, while a paid version removes ads and removes recording time limits. UsbWebCamera is a useful tool for anyone seeking easy capture from USB webcams on Android without complex setup or root privileges.

User Reviews

The app is frequently unstable. Users report crashes on launch, grey screens, and frequent reboots. It often fails to detect the USB camera, with 'no USB camera found' messages, and updates tend to worsen crashes. A minority note it can work on some devices, but overall reliability is poor.
Pros
  • Works with USB endoscope cameras on some devices (e.g., Samsung S8+) when functioning
  • Previously reported to work across multiple devices on some phones
  • Occasional positive feedback such as 'Cool' or 'good' when it runs
Cons
  • Crashes or won’t start / stops working across devices
  • Fails to detect USB camera / 'no usb camera found' despite hardware
  • Not working after updates / latest version keeps crashing
  • App shows grey screen or won’t open
  • Ads in the app causing frustration (present in at least one review)
