USB Camera Mod is an Android app that connects your phone or tablet to a USB webcam or video capture card through USB-OTG. You can record video, capture snapshots, stream to media servers, or use the device as a wireless IP camera with built-in server functions.
The app supports a wide range of USB video hardware and includes recording, live streaming, monitoring, overlays, background operation, and loop-recording tools. A good-quality OTG cable and a suitable power supply are important, and some devices may need a hub to improve USB signals.
Supported USB Devices
USB Camera Mod works with UVC webcams, UVC video grabbers, Windows Hello cameras, IR cameras, and some non-UVC devices such as USB endoscopes. Supported video formats include H.264, H.265, HEVC, MJPG, YUY2, P010, and NV12, depending on the connected hardware.
- UVC webcams can provide video and microphone input, or you can use an external USB audio input.
- UVC video grabbers can accept HDMI video up to 4K and support progressive or interlaced video.
- EasyCap devices using supported UTV007, HTV600, HTV800, STK1160, EM2860, SMI2021, and related chipset combinations can provide video and audio.
- Windows Hello cameras, IR cameras, and the Geek szitman supercamera are also supported device types.
USB Camera Mod uses a userspace driver for the app itself. Android does not allow the installation of a kernel driver, so the connected hardware cannot be used by other third-party apps through this driver.
Recording and Capture
You can record video or capture still images from the connected camera or capture card. The app can mix USB audio with the built-in microphone or system audio, and it can overlay the built-in camera or screen video onto the external camera feed.
During recording, you can add timestamps, GPS information, speed, and other data to the video frames. Snapshots and video recording can be triggered with a headset, Bluetooth headset, or the snapshot button on a compatible webcam.
Loop Recording and Background Use
Loop recording lets you set automatic recording segments and remove older video archives when storage becomes insufficient. This allows USB Camera Mod to be used as a dash camera. You can also choose Enter background from the menu to switch between foreground and background operation without interrupting the recording.
IP Camera and Network Streaming
USB Camera Mod can turn an Android device into a wireless IP camera through its built-in RTSP, RTSPS, HTTP, and HTTPS servers. You can view the camera in a web browser or with the related IP Camera app. The IP Camera functions include security monitoring and, when used with the IP Camera app, bidirectional audio.
The app can push video and audio to RTMP and SRT live media servers. It supports RTMPS, SRT, multiple media servers at the same time, and HEVC or AV1 over RTMP for supported devices. The IP Camera server supports TLS, and you can add a PFX or P12 certificate to enable HTTPS or RTSPS connections.
Motion Detection and Uploads
Automatic video recording can be based on motion detection. Recorded video can be uploaded automatically to an FTP server, and the app can send an email notification when recording activity occurs.
Viewing Modes and Overlays
USB Camera Mod supports Side by Side viewing for FPV goggles. It can also work with FPV goggles through its VR/FPV view. Video overlays can appear on the preview, and animated GIF or WebP images can be used as watermarks on video frames.
Position and speed overlays can be configured separately, and long text can be animated. The app also supports video rendering improvements for supported devices, including reduced rendering delay for EasyCap hardware.
Codec and Permission Requirements
Using HEVC for recording or streaming requires Android 5.0 or later and a device with HEVC codec support. AV1 video streaming requires Android 10 or later and AV1 codec support. On Android 9 and later, Camera permission is required for full USB video device access.
This build requires Android 11 or later. For USB hardware, make sure the OTG cable and power supply are adequate before connecting the camera or capture card.

Mod Review
This build suits users who need to connect an Android device to a USB webcam or capture card and use it for recording, streaming, or monitoring. It is also relevant if you need loop recording, motion-triggered capture, or RTSP and HTTP server access. Users who need the USB device to work inside other third-party apps should skip it because the driver operates only inside USB Camera Mod. The Android 11 requirement also excludes older devices.
