AirLens

Live · phone to PC webcam

Your phone is the best camera on your desk.

AirLens streams your Android phone's camera to your Windows PC, up to 4K, over USB or Wi-Fi. Windows sees it as a webcam called AirLens. No watermark, no driver.

You need both: the app on your phone and the receiver on your PC.

Measured with a Huawei P30 and an RTX 4060 laptop.

Three steps, then it connects by itself.

  1. Install it on your phone

    Open the APK, allow the install, and press Start streaming.

  2. Install it on your PC

    Run Setup.cmd once. It adds the app and the AirLens camera, with one admin prompt.

  3. Plug in, or stay on Wi-Fi

    On Wi-Fi the PC finds the phone; press Connect once. For USB, turn on USB debugging and install adb on the PC; after that it connects on its own.

Built like camera gear.

A real Windows camera

Pick AirLens in your video app like any webcam. 1080p by default, 720p or 4K when an app asks.

USB first, Wi-Fi when you need it

Pull the cable and the stream moves to Wi-Fi in a fraction of a second. Plug it back in and it returns to USB.

Picture controls

Mirror, rotate, zoom up to 4×, fit or fill, and Hide, which sends black while you step away.

Every lens on the phone

Switch wide, main, tele or front from either side, and pick Best picture, Balanced or Lowest delay.

Focus that stays put

When autofocus hunts, turn it off. Focus holds where it is, and a slider fine-tunes it.

Cool under load

A hot phone drops to a lighter quality until it cools, then steps back up. Your choice stays saved.
