I would like to record video footage from a secondary cam (webcam via USB) to android mobile phone micro sd card. Most webcams have windows driver software. Basically looking for a app that will recognise various video input formats (digital or analog)

Hey Riaan,

Have you had any luck in figuring out a solution? I would also be very much interested in hooking up a webcam to my Desire S, to be used as an external camera. That would open up a world of possibilities. Let me know if you figure it out & I'll do likewise, would be much appreciated. take care!

Likewise - I want to use a smart phone to record HD video through a USB webcam. Picture a phone attached to the handlebar of a mountain bike with the webcam remotely located at various places on the bike. Helmet cams are available but all have serious flaws.

Android 4.0 is supposed to support USB host, allowing it to run external devices. I assume drivers would be needed and software created. The possibilities are compelling. I'm surprised no one even replies to this question. Is it so impossible or is there no interest?

Exactly the same application for the setup as I am planning, mountain-biking with a cam circulating all around the bike.

Unfortunately, I have not yet found any compelling results.

Like you, I know it's coming. Someone will do this eventually. Seems like one of the Android developer sites would be interested. I posted on one but no reply. Frustrating...
