I’m having a problem using multiple cellphones as cameras into the app IP Webcam. I use them with the USB Tethering since it has best image and latency quality, so after plugging them into the computer and enabling the USB tethering I need to put the Gateway IP that android creates in the USB tethering and here it starts the problem:

Every android when tethering uses the same Gateway IP (192.168.42.129) and there is no way I can change it natively, so when I try to connect any other cellphone it will use the same Gateway IP. What I need to do is find a way to change the IP of one of my cellphones (one is rooted and the other one it’s not rooted) so I can use both cellphones as webcams.

I’ve already tried using DroidCamX that can connect without tethering or via LAN yet it’s latency and quality is much inferior to the IP Webcam. As well I found this thread yet I need to be agile to set up the cameras (open Android SDK and do all the right commands) and I can’t waste computer processing with the Android SDK running. If you think there is any other solution to my problem let me know.

As a disclaimer I want to warn you that I’m pretty new to android coding, I have no idea how to edit android source code and implement it, even wich tools to use. So if you could just point me out any manual or tutorial or even show me how to do it I would love to learn it. Thank you, guys!
