PocketCam Alternatives
PocketCam is described as 'lets you use your Android device as a wireless webcam for your Windows-based computer or Mac (OS X 10.5 or above). PocketCam automatically forwards video captured by your Android device's built-in camera, which can then be used as if they come from a virtual webcam' and is an app in the Online Services category. There are six alternatives to PocketCam for a variety of platforms, including Android, Windows, iPhone, Linux and Mac. The best alternative is DroidCam, which is free. Other great apps like PocketCam are IP Webcam (Freemium), EpocCam (Freemium), SmartCam (Free, Open Source) and Snoop (Free).
