Which to choose
Honest advice
- Choose Camora if
- you want 1080p (60 fps if your phone supports it) free, with no ads and no watermark; you're on Ubuntu (packaged for 24.04 and 26.04, with a signed camera module that works with Secure Boot); or you'd rather have no account and an encrypted Wi-Fi link that only a computer you paired can use.
- Choose DroidCam if
- you have an iPhone or a Windows 10 computer, or want your phone's microphone in calls or 4K into OBS (both with DroidCam Pro).
