Hello, Is there a way i can use my cellphone as a camera for my pc?

I tried using IP webcam which works great, but it's lacking a feature i really need.

Is there any app the will let me lock the exposure and change it?

remotely from my pc?

Like the features that Open Camera Has?

I downloaded IP webcam's program for pc which did not work

it just froze. So instead i had to use OBS studio

but that neither let me control ISO Exposure And lock focus,Etc.

I'm gonna use it for Stop Motion. I could just download a Stop Motion app

on the phone. But this is serious stuff, Not some bad animation made by a 6 year old.
I really need to lock the exposure and lock the white balance to prevent light changes in the pictures.

I can just take a bunch of pictures and transport them to my pc,but i prefer real time workflow as i'm using

AnimaShooter Pioneer.

Some advice will gratefully appreciated  😃

IP webcam (at least the pro version) lets you do that.

@Kilrah but i mean remotely from my pc Turn it on and off without touching my phone.

I don't know If Anima shooter Pioneer has exposure control,

but if it does, lowering the exposure it just going to "dim" the image

and not actually change the exposure. I want real exposure control too.

You can change exposure from the PC, it gives a webpage with controls.

Well, then you probably don't want to use a phone camera in the first place 🙂
