IP Webcam Linux client

An unofficial Linux client for the IP Webcam app on Play store.

Requirements

  • adb
  • v4l2loopback
  • ffmpeg
  • On Arch based systems, you'll also need to install android-udev so you can use adb without root.

If you have an Arch based system (Arch/Manjaro), you can just do sudo pacman -S android-tools v4l2loopback-dkms ffmpeg android-udev --needed in terminal and you're good to go.

How to use

  • It is recommended to put this file in PATH, so you can call it from the terminal from everywhere.
  • Just run ipcam in a terminal, enter the root password (v4l2loopback requires it), and keep the ffmpeg process running until you are done.
    • When you are done, press Q while in the terminal to stop the ffmpeg process.
  • You can also use ipcam-mpv to open up the camera feed in the mpv player. You could also window share this on Discord.
  • IP Webcam has a web interface you can access with a browser, after you run one of the scripts and it forwards the port via adb, you can go to 127.0.0.1:8080 to access it.

Connect over wifi

  • Connect both the devices over the same network and start the server on mobile.
  • Run this script and enter the IP Address of the network when promped [Leave blank if same].
  • adb Dependency won't be needed for this.
