This is the third "IOS device as webcam" app that I've tried (after WebCamera and EpocCam) and the first that actually worked. Connects easily and works well with Skype.
Using this in conjunction with its Mac companion app does work; it is recognized as a standard webcam in my testing. And the quality of the end video is decent, albeit with a sometimes choppy framerate.<br/><br/>However, the app has fairly poor UI that is somehow I unintuitive even though it is incredibly simple in scope. Also, there should be an option for 16:9 footage, if not outright HD. As it is, the quality settings don't even tell you the output resolutions. And I feel like my framerate should be better and more consistent given that my home network is pretty solid with a midrange 802.11AC router, and that I'm in the same room as my router.<br/><br/>But, again, it works, which is more than I can say for some other apps that are supposed to work like this.
I thought, hey my iphone has a great camera, why buy a web cam? Well, because this is absolutely terrible quality and it disconnects constantly and it can't record in the background so anything that pops up freezes it. Don't waste your time, money, and happiness on this garbage.
I installed the app and it’s terrible. grainy video despite whatever settings you choose. There is a stamp across the bottom in blue letters that you can’t remove. I should have bought a cheap web cam instead for $10 more. Don’t waste your money.
Pictures look really bad , i dont recomend it
The app is no longer supported. The page to download the driver leads to a phishing extension download
Pocket cam work as suggested. I run OS X 10.11 ("El Capitan") and several other remote webcam programs fail to become usable as system webcam. Pocket cam not onlt suceeds at it has adjustable settings and even night vision.This the bestone yet!
