IP Webcam

Turn Your Android Device Into a Professional Surveillance Camera

IP Webcam by Pavel Khlebovich is a high-performance application that transforms any Android smartphone or tablet into a fully functional internet-connected camera system. Unlike standard camera apps, this tool streams live video directly to VLC Player or any modern web browser, giving you remote monitoring capabilities from virtually anywhere. The app supports multiple video recording formats including Webm, MOV, and MPEG4—note that MPEG4 recording requires Android 4.1 or higher. Audio capture is equally versatile, supporting Wav, Opus, and AAC formats, with the latter two also requiring Android 4.1+. This flexibility ensures compatibility across a wide range of playback devices and editing software.

The core functionality revolves around motion detection triggering. Configure the app to activate recording only when movement is detected within a specific area of the frame. This reduces storage usage and battery drain significantly compared to continuous recording. However, due to the constant processing required for motion analysis, the device must remain connected to a power source—either a wall charger or a computer USB port—for extended operation. The app runs in the background, allowing you to use other applications on the same device while monitoring continues.

IP Webcam delivers a complete surveillance solution without requiring additional hardware. Set up your Android device as a stationary camera, connect it to a power supply, and access the live feed remotely through a web interface or media player. The application also includes a built-in web server, enabling direct browser access without third-party software. For advanced users, the app supports ONVIF protocol integration, making it compatible with professional video management systems.
