I use Droidcam. The Android app isn’t open source as far as I know but the desktop client is.

I’m not exactly sure of your desired result of the webcam. If you are not looking for real-time streaming, perhaps the one to try is Haven. Haven can be setup to trigger on light changes, motion, sound, vibration (accelerometer) – even power changes – and records data, sound and video to the local device. It can then be setup to send alerts through Signal. Plus, it can be setup on old or throwaway phones.
