Blender Camera Controller uses separate local services for control and optional preview configuration.
| Service | Transport and purpose |
|---|---|
| Control server | UDP connection between Android app and Blender; default port 5005 |
| Streaming server | HTTP/MJPEG preview service used by browser or app preview |
| Crop configuration server | Browser-based manual crop setup service |
The phone and computer must be on the same reachable LAN. Avoid mobile-data-only phone connections, VPNs, proxies, guest Wi-Fi, client isolation, and restrictive firewalls. Use 5 GHz Wi-Fi where possible; USB tethering can be an alternative.
