Cell phone as camera

[GSchofield62]

I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S21 ultra. Is there anyway to use this phone as a swing camera? I don't know a lot about requirements but the camera on this phone is supposedly pretty high end. But maybe not high-end enough for a swing camera.

Are you wanting to use FSX built in swing replay? If so, you could try an app like IVCam on your phone. You’ll be limited to 60fps I believe.

Most of our modern cell phones are so expensive because of the high quality cameras inside -- recent iphones can go up to 240FPS.

You can try something like https://obs.camera if you are willing to pay the $16 and a bit of your spare time to configure it within OBS...

I tried unsuccessfully getting droidcam to work with Uneekor Ignite. I was able to hook my phone both via wifi and usb and have the laptop register it as a camera, but ignite software didn't see it.

Would love if a more technically inclined poster figures out a work around.
