Description

USB Phone Cam turns an Android phone into a high-performance USB webcam for desktop Linux. It uses the WebCodecs API for hardware-accelerated H.264 streaming over USB, providing near-zero latency video capture.

Why this package?

• System-wide installation with desktop launcher and /usr/bin command

Features

• 🚀 Zero-latency USB streaming (via adb reverse)
• 📹 H.264 hardware encoding (720p/1080p @ 30fps)
• 🎯 Focus lock & auto-exposure lock controls
• 🖥️ Desktop integration with .desktop file

Technical Details

• Dependencies: python3, python3-tornado, android-tools
• Runtime requirement: Google Chrome or Chromium (for WebCodecs)
• License: MIT

Testing

Notes

While this is primarily a Python/JS application, it provides unique functionality not available in any other Void package and integrates at the system level with desktop launchers and ADB tooling. It serves the Linux streaming/content creation community.
