Turn your device into a versatile USB webcam monitor

USB Camera is a powerful utility that lets you plug a wide range of external cameras and capture cards into your device and view, record, or stream video with surprising flexibility. Whether you are connecting a simple UVC webcam, an HDMI capture card for a game console, or even an endoscope, the app focuses on direct, low‑latency access to video and audio.

The standout feature is compatibility. USB Camera supports UVC webcams with microphones, HDMI video grabbers (up to 4K), and popular EasyCap variants with different chipsets, as well as some non‑UVC hardware. Once connected via OTG, you can preview and capture footage, choose codecs such as H.264, H.265/HEVC, and others (depending on device support), and fine‑tune formats for quality or performance.

Creators and streamers will appreciate its RTMP and RTSP live streaming modes, which make it possible to broadcast to online platforms or local networks directly from a USB source. Picture‑in‑Picture and VR/FPV views add extra versatility, particularly for drone pilots, FPV enthusiasts, or anyone needing immersive monitoring.

The interface leans more toward functionality than aesthetics, with dense settings menus that may overwhelm beginners. However, advanced users will value the granular control over resolution, frame rate, bitrate, and audio options. A Pro upgrade removes ads and unlocks additional general settings, making it more pleasant for frequent use.

USB Camera is best suited for users who already understand OTG, video capture, and codec capabilities. It can be finicky with some hardware and requires good cables and power, but when everything lines up, it delivers a level of USB video integration that is hard to match on a handheld device.
