Abstract

The proposal for home-office (remote work) is increasingly being offered by the companies because it benefits not only the workers, but also the employers. With the reduction in the job dropout rate, and consequently, the increase in workers satisfaction, the considerable demand's increase is given by the large number of workers who sought to change the office for the comfort of home, affirming is no longer necessary to be in an office in person and full time to maintain productivity. In addiction, the recent epidemic experience related to Covid-19 has further boosted the demand for the home-office, wich recently, according to IPEA (Institute of Applied Economic Research) reached its highest number of people. Brazilians who worked remotely between the months of May and November 2020 reached 8.2 million people, corresponding to 11% of the 74 million professionals of the country. Just as the home office, several institutions of education choose for the remote education, and, in this context, there is a growth and considerable demand in streaming tecnology, so meetings can be held, classes, reunions, virtual meetings, and other activities referring to the remote contact needed between the population. The research problem was motivated because the quality of notebook webcams or even external webcams is low, causing users to look for other forms of transmission, for example, applications and services for smartphone camera transmission, however, applications and services for the transmission of camera from the Smartphone present in the market are usually paid, and the transmission has very low quality, therefore, the objective of the research was to develop a system to transmit the smartphone camera and assume the role of a webcam to the computer using WebRTC.
