AN98 lets you connect compatible Android phones with OTG and UVC camera functions to a computer, turning USB-attached devices like endoscopes and external cameras into desktop input sources. Running AN98 on PC letting you keep your workspace organized across a larger display while maintaining a persistent session: no phone battery drain, no screen interruptions. The app supports a range of Samsung, HTC, and LG devices that meet the OTG and UVC requirements.
Installing AN98 on PC opens up workflows where external camera feeds integrate directly with your desktop setup. You can leave the app running in one window while managing files, documents, or other tools alongside it. Below are the core capabilities that shape how AN98 functions as a PC tool.
Camera Connection and Device Compatibility
AN98 bridges Android phones to PC by routing their OTG and UVC camera outputs through the desktop. This approach works with devices such as Samsung Galaxy S4, S5, S6, Note 2, Note 3, Note 5, HTC M8, M9, and LG G4: provided they support both OTG (On-The-Go) and UVC (USB Video Class) standards. The app acts as the intermediary layer, translating the phone's camera signal for PC recognition.
How a Typical Setup Unfolds
Getting AN98 for Windows PC into a working state follows this sequence:
- Connect your compatible Android phone via USB to your desktop
- Launch AN98 and wait for the app to detect the connected device
- Grant the necessary permissions when prompted by the app
- Select your camera source (front or rear) within the interface
- View the live feed on your desktop monitor
- Close or minimize the app to preserve your PC session for other tasks
Desktop Integration for Stationary Work
Unlike phone-based camera apps, running AN98 on your computer keeps your workspace anchored. You sit at your desk with keyboard and mouse ready, leaving the phone undisturbed beside your setup. Long inspection or monitoring sessions (where battery life and screen size matter) benefit from this arrangement. Install AN98 on PC when you need hands-free camera input across extended work periods without draining your mobile device.
Known Limitations Across Android Versions
AN98 exhibits compatibility issues on Android 10 and newer versions, and performs inconsistently on older devices. Some users report the app crashes shortly after launch or fails to display a live camera feed. Video recording functionality has also caused unexpected closures in certain setups. These instabilities mean testing on your specific device before relying on AN98 for critical work is essential.

Why install AN98 on PC instead of just using my phone?
Running AN98 for computer lets you keep a stationary workspace without phone battery drain or screen fatigue. You can multitask with other windows open, use your keyboard and mouse naturally, and maintain a persistent session across longer work periods: ideal for inspection, monitoring, or external camera work.
Does AN98 work with Android 10 and newer phones?
No. AN98 has significant compatibility problems with Android 10 and later versions. The app is most reliable on mid-range Android devices from several years ago. Test the app on your specific device before committing to it for important tasks.
What permissions does AN98 require?
AN98 requests access to your camera, microphone, and media files: functions necessary for capturing and processing video. The app should not need access to your browsing history, app lists, or WiFi configuration; if it requests those permissions, exercise caution before granting.
What should I do if the app crashes or won't show a camera feed?
Try reconnecting your phone via USB, force-closing the app, and relaunching it. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app has resolved crashes for some users. If crashes persist or the camera feed does not appear after a few minutes, your device may not be fully compatible with your Android version.
