THE SETUP GUIDE
Your next angle.
Step by step.
You’ll need an Android phone, a Windows 11 computer and a trusted local network. Keep both devices nearby for your first connection.
Give your phone a new job.
- Install Camlora from its verified Google Play listing when available.
- Connect the phone to the same trusted Wi-Fi as your computer. Avoid guest networks that isolate devices.
- Open Camlora and allow camera access. Microphone access is optional; video can work without it.
- Keep the app open for the first connection. Note the address and port on its screen; the default port is
5959.
Only stream people and spaces you have permission to capture. The phone’s notification lets you stop the stream.
Bring the picture to your desktop.
- Install the Windows companion from the verified download.
- Open Camlora. Select the discovered phone, or enter its local address and port manually.
- Connect and confirm that the preview is live.
- Choose Start webcam. First-time camera registration requires administrator approval. Read the Windows prompt before approving.
- Keep Camlora and its camera helper running while you use the webcam.
Choose Camlora. Find your angle.
- Open your meeting or recording app’s camera settings.
- Select Camlora or Camlora (Windows Virtual Camera). Reopen the receiving app if the new camera is not listed.
- Select your usual headset or computer microphone. Camlora does not provide a system-wide microphone in this release.
- Position your phone securely at eye level, or point it at your desk. Start at 720p and increase quality if the connection remains smooth.
- Finish by stopping the webcam on Windows and stopping streaming on the phone.
NO DESKTOP CLIENT REQUIRED
A browser is another way in.
Open the phone’s address to see the dashboard, or add /view for a controls-free view. This does not create a virtual camera in meeting apps.
Your local addresses
Enter the address displayed in Camlora on your phone.
Streams use unencrypted HTTP. A password protects controls and live audio, not video or snapshots. Do not expose the port to the internet.
