Can I use this with an external USB webcam? #177

I'm soon to have a camera mounted on my bicycle, mostly for when I'm on-road, but also perhaps I could connect it to my phone to record images for Kartaview.

Is there support/any plans for supporting USB cameras within Kartaview?

Same here, I want to use this with a PowerShot SX540 that can be used via an USB cable. I don't think this is possible.

Hmm, that's a shame. At least the issue is here.

I know Android supports it, as I found several pages about it, but yeah, apparently it doesn't work that way with most apps.
