I have one of those cheap "microscope" cameras for macro photography, that basically behave like a webcam on PC.
It has the ability to connect via USB or Wifi and supports Android and iOS devices through apps.

On my Xperia XA2 with sfos 4.5.0.19 i am able to find the usb microscopes wifi signal and connect to it.
I guess basically the only thing missing is a camera software that is able to handle a external camera.

The device in question is a "ninyoon 4k wifi microscope".
Such a feature could also be useful for other kinds of devices that include a camera.

I have another camera project called "shutter" which uses libcamera, so its more likely that app will work with external cameras. The problem you might have is that im not sure the stock xperial kernels come with usb cam kernel modules. On something like the pinephone or a community port it would be quite easy to add that in to the build.
