Is there a way to take photos with my phone through my computer?

[Simple Vices]

I'm wanting to connect my phone and lap top so that I can view my phones camera display on my laptop and be able to take pictures from the computer. I know that I can turn my phone into a webcam and it's exactly what I'm wanting -except- I can't take pictures. I'm not even sure if there is a way to do this and was hoping someone might know of a way. Ideally I'd just buy a wifi/bluetooth camera but ya know.. $$.. : (

What phone you have? Probably could do this with Samsung phone and dex .

Thank you, I didn't realize that. The phone is an Alcatel 5005R

Welcome to Android Central! Try using AirDroid.

Hi, welcome to AC!
On that phone model I'm not sure, you can try what B. Diddy suggest

Thank you both! I'll check out AirDroid, it looks like it might work for what I'm needing.
