Warning

Superseded by STICam v1.0.1. Android v1.0.0 includes MediaPipe Tasks 0.10.35's upstream metrics transport. Google states that it sends API performance and utilization metrics, not image or video input. STICam's developer does not receive those metrics. Update to v1.0.1 for the remediated Android build. The Windows v1.0.0 installer is not affected. See the version-specific Privacy Policy.

STICam v1.0.0

First public release of STICam.

STICam turns an Android phone into a Windows webcam over Wi-Fi or USB. It is
free to download and use, works fully offline, and requires no account or
subscription.

Requirements

  • Windows 11 22H2 (build 22621) or newer.
  • Android 8.0 (API 26) or newer.
  • A trusted private network for Wi-Fi mode, or USB debugging for USB mode.

Included

  • H.264 streaming from Android to Windows over Wi-Fi or USB.
  • A USB device selector when more than one authorized Android device is connected.
  • On-device MediaPipe face tracking and automatic framing.
  • Manual zoom, exposure, ISO, focus, flashlight, camera, and resolution controls.
  • A unified high-contrast Windows control panel with single-outline selectors, neutral sliders, built-in mirror and face-tracking controls, and a balanced default live layout.
  • A native Windows Media Foundation virtual camera.
  • Automatic virtual-camera startup with every live stream, with no separate toggle required.
  • The Windows executable title and Task Manager identity are consistent.
  • Automatic reconnection and clear stream failure messages.
  • Offline operation with no STICam-operated analytics, cloud service, or advertising SDK.

Known limitation

Deliberate, very rapid camera switching can occasionally fail. Normal camera
switching is reliable. Camera, resolution, and filter controls are temporarily
disabled while a switch is in progress so commands cannot stack up.

This build is not yet code-signed, so Windows may show an unrecognized-publisher
warning. Verify the SHA-256 value above before running it.

Privacy and network security

STICam has no account, STICam-operated analytics, or developer-operated server. Video and
face-tracking data stay between your phone and PC. Wi-Fi traffic is not encrypted
or authenticated, so use Wi-Fi mode only on a trusted private network and prefer
USB on shared networks.

STICam is proprietary freeware: it is free to download, install, and use,
including inside a business. See the EULA, privacy policy, and security policy in
the public repository for the complete terms and operating boundaries.
