It started with a simple problem.
I was recording myself and had no idea if the frame, lighting, or camera angle looked right. I’d hit record, walk into position, then walk back to check. Most of the time I was either out of frame or something looked off. So I’d adjust everything and repeat the whole process again and again.
My phone has a great camera. It's always in my pocket. But every solution out there wanted me to download an app, create an account, pay a subscription, or deal with setups that break for no reason. For something that should just work.
So I built Camcastar.
Open the dashboard on your laptop. Scan the QR code with your phone. That's it. Your phone becomes a live wireless camera on your screen. No app. No login. No cable. Completely free.
You can see exactly what your phone sees, adjust the angle, switch lenses, control zoom and focus, change FPS and resolution, and manage everything directly from your laptop.
When you record, the video saves to both your phone and your laptop. Full quality on the phone, with a backup on the laptop.
I built this for myself. Then I realized others probably have the same problem. So I made it available for everyone.
