Default SGS2 as a webcam

Can you use the Front camera (or rear) of the SGS2 as a webcam recognised internally to the phone? So not via USB to a PC.

I have a pc setup to stream product demonstrations for a class via a web page. Its not needed all the time, so instead of a dedicated pc. I’d rather have it via the phone as needed.

Yes, there are apps in the Play sore that do what you want. Just search for "webcam"

EpocCam works really well. Give it a shot.

Good luck!

ah cheers guys. but not quite what im after.

I should have explained it more.

We have a flash based web site thats streams the classes. i would normally log in via laptop and click on start demo and it will activate my laptops (or external) webcam and stream that image. If i log into the same site via opera on my sgs2 , it says it can not find a webcam on my phone.

So is there a way to send the request for a webcam to the sgs2 camera?

I don't think so mate. I haven't come across anything like that so far, so sorry, can't be of much help here.
