I have used DroidCam in the past. Worked pretty well, but it's been a couple of years

yeah, that was the first app I used to achieve the goal. however, for some reasons DroidCam was rejecting request from the reverse proxy, and I didn't have any idea why. so, I thought let's find an open-source alternative of DroidCam and then I found Remote Cam which worked great however the last commit was 2 years ago.
