How to use an iPhone as a webcam: Best apps
Epocam
Epocam will be the first alternative we recommend. Firstly, because it is available for both macOS and Windows 10. Secondly, because it meets the requirements we are looking for: it is free, easy to use and it is very simple to have it accessible with a single click. First, we have to download the drivers and files needed for its operation, both in Windows and Mac.
Once we have downloaded the files it is time to download the application from the App Store for our iPhone. When you open the app, you’ll see that iPhone is looking for a PC to connect to. Simply open the application on the PC and it will automatically synchronize, without the need to enter any IP, set up WiFi addresses.
Ivcam
The other option is using Ivcam. In this case, the application is only for Windows and it is also compatible with our iPhone. The operation is very similar. Although here the interface is better and easier to use. As we did with the first application, we have to download the program for PC and then download the application on our phone.
Ivcam has more settings that we can choose from. First of all, we can check the connection status. We can also use the flash of our mobile, for extra lighting. We even have some filters. We can also use the mirror effect of the camera.
It supports up to 2K quality, as well as the FPS rate is really high. This is a tremendous setting considering it is a totally free service with some advertising. In short, it is a much more complete option, with the main limitation of being restricted only to Windows.
