Can I use my android phone as finger print, webcam, and mic for my windows 10PC?

Question

I suppose I can buy a mic, a webcam, and a finger print censor for my windows 10.

But I have all those in android phone already.

Is there an easy way to do so?

Answer 1

As for the camera and mic part,

If you simply search the web for phrases like "use Android camera/mic on PC", you will come across many apps; some of them actually do the job.

I have used an app called DroidCam in the past which had worked for me in Windows 7 after a litte bit of struggling. (I have never tried it in Windows 10, though; but I guess it should work)

As for the fingerprint reader part,

There is not a solution which can be assured to work flawlessly. But there are some things which might be helpful :-

• Dynamic Lock by Microsoft — If you are simply looking for a solution to unlock your PC using your phone, then this might be the solution for you. Although it doesn't specifically use a fingerprint unlock, it allows you to keep your PC unlocked when your phone is close enough and reachable via Bluetooth.

• Third-party solution — There is an app called Remote Fingerprint Unlock which is slightly complicated to set up but will do the job for you.

• Samsung Flow — If you happen to have a Samsung Android phone, then this solution from Samsung should work for you.
  This app has also been ported to non-Samsung devices by some developer(s) but the Fingerprint unlock functionality does not work on non-Samsung devices yet.

(Mentioning the below content just for the sake of completeness; doesn't answer this question)

• Google Smart Lock for Chromebooks — This is a solution provided by Google to unlock your PC with a fingerprint scanner on your phone. However this only works on Chrome OS (v71+) and not on any other OS.
