A real, full-featured alternative to DroidCam.
No paywalls, no ads, no locked resolutions. Just your phone's camera streaming to your PC.
RemoteCam Enhanced is a fork of Ruddle’s RemoteCam, designed to match (and exceed) what paid apps do, while keeping it lightweight and open-source.
It streams your Android camera over HTTP as an MJPEG or H.264 stream, wrapped in a clean Material 3 (Monet) interface.
~ core streaming
- mjpeg and experimental h.264 (beta) support.
- Works directly in browsers, OBS, FFmpeg, etc.
- Background streaming (keeps running even if you switch apps).
- Auto-reconnect support for clients.
- Customizable HTTP port.
> camera & video
- Select any available sensor (front, back, external).
- Customizable resolution and JPEG quality.
- Target FPS configuration.
- Anti-flicker banding mode (50Hz, 60Hz, auto).
- Noise reduction settings (off, fast, high quality).
- Video stabilization toggle (OIS/EIS) to improve latency on a tripod.
+ controls & interaction
- Smooth zoom with adjustable smoothing delay.
- Double-tap actions (switch camera, toggle zoom).
- Volume key mapping (control zoom, switch camera, toggle flash).
- Flashlight toggle and brightness control on supported devices.
# power & screen management
- Auto-dim screen after a set delay to save battery.
- Input lock when dimmed to prevent accidental touches.
- Wakelock / keep screen on options.
- Shortcut to ignore battery optimizations for stable long streams.
% ui & design
- Clean Material You (Monet) dynamic theming.
- Dark / Light mode support.
- Multiple languages (English, French, Hungarian, Portuguese).
Pick a sensor, adjust your settings, and start streaming over your local network.
| Format | Endpoint URL |
|---|---|
| MJPEG | http://<your-phone-ip>:8080/cam.mjpeg |
| H.264 (Beta) | http://<your-phone-ip>:8080/cam.h264 |
Add a Browser or Media Source, then paste your stream URL.
~ Tip: using a browser source usually gives the lowest latency for MJPEG.
Route the stream directly to a virtual camera device:
# for mjpeg:
ffmpeg -i http://192.168.x.x:8080/cam.mjpeg -f v4l2 /dev/video0
# for h.264 (beta):
ffmpeg -i http://192.168.x.x:8080/cam.h264 -c:v copy -f v4l2 /dev/video0
Example of the H.264 stream running smoothly.

I'm very open to contributions! Feel free to submit a pull request if you want to help out with:
- Adding new translations / languages.
- Improving the codebase, refactoring, or optimizing performance.
- UI tweaks, bug fixes, or entirely new ideas.
Apps like DroidCam are great, but most of the cool features (like HD video, FPS controls, etc.) are locked behind a paywall. This project aims to be a true open-source replacement. You get HD video, OBS/V4L2 support, a clean material design, and zero bs.
- Based on the original RemoteCam by Ruddle (MIT).
- Flashlight brightness control inspired by cyb3rko/flashdim.
This fork is also under the MIT license.
