Step 1: Connecting the Webcam

to a Smartphone

I have at least a couple old webcams that I used pretty frequently before cameras became integrated into almost every device you can think of nowadays. I wanted to see if it would be possible to use one of them as a backup camera for my car. Let me preface that with a huge disclaimer that this is not intended for practical use and should not be relied upon as you would depend on a commercial backup camera. The intent is only to use this in rare instances, like getting close to a trailer for connecting it or backing up close to a dock for loading. So please, please, please don’t rely upon this as a sole backup camera for your vehicle.
