Leave a Review iVCam Webcam
Worked great until today Nov. 17th 2020
Got this maybe 3 weeks ago and it worked great until today when I went to record video through usb as the WiFi route has too much lagging. But after 3 full hours and my entire workday lost I’m here trying to share. Tried everything from forums to reinstalling and restarting both PC and IPhone, updating any drivers, and it’s still messing up. Sadly the company is only available through a message online, so I’m at their mercy. Sadly as well, I bought the Full version at $25! Maybe should have invested in a webcam instead... if I hear back from them anytime soon I’ll update but that’s been my experience.Show lessGMooney2013
Update cancels previous purchase?
Hi, I purchased the app version here in addition to pc companion AND the VSC microphone add on from e2esoft and now nothing is working. The pc version updated and my license no longer works, the software just says that the license has already been used! I paid 8$ for the phone app and 8$for the PC software and 20$ more for the VSC microphone virtual sound card. Now the app is asking for 25$ for the new full version that includes all these features when I’ve already paid a total of over 36$ and each piece of software is saying that I’m on a trial version and I need to purchase it again. What is going on? The software works great but I already paid for the entire full version and now I have to pay another 25$? HELPShow lessAdiChopChop
Bad at switching modes
The app totally crashes if you try to switch modes from wifi to usb etc. You have to restart everything in a specific order to be able to connect again. Also if you accidentally close the pc app, it totally messes up when you try to reopen and reconnect. Plus the desktop app often does not open for me. Personally found epoccam to be a smoother experience but they have less features in terms of video quality (no 4k), frame rates, recording etc. I just needed a good app to use my phone as webcam for classes for which 1080p is enough and reliability is more important.Show lessvpnuser1011783
Works great, use it all the time
Since COVID hit, I’ve had a lot of time to try this out. It hasn’t failed me once.
My only gripe is sometimes the Windows app separates the Webcam input into “IVCam#1” and “IVCam#2”. I’m not sure why it does this, but say you have Chrome or Zoom set to use IVCam#2 from your previous session. If it decides to be IVCam#1 that day, you’ll get no video unless you change the input settings to IVCam#1. So, not always plug and play.
Other than this, once it gets going, it works flawlessly. It works just as if it were a real webcam. Fantastic job, developers.Show lessProbablyNoah
Best webcam software for Windows users!
After trying out other webcam programs, I found the features and quality on iVCam to be the best. I use an iPhone 11 clamped to my monitor with a Smartrig multifunctional clamp, smartphone mount and ring light and it blows away my Logitech C922 in image quality. I get up to 4K 60 frames video with excellent low light performance.
You can use iVCam with multiple devices which EpocCam will charge you extra for and I’ve found the latency to be much better than NDI HX Camera which is a $20 app. It is also the only app I found that allows you to use the mouse wheel or keyboard keys to control zoom in/out. This is a great convenience when you want to size yourself in a screen or crop out edges of a green screen without having to reach around a mounted iPhone to pinch and zoom on a tiny screen that is facing away from you when using the better rear camera lenses.
I tried a lot of demos of these apps and finally bought the full version of iVCam and feel it’s maybe the best $10 I’ve spent on an app. If you’re a Windows user with an iPhone that you can spare during web calls then you already have a better webcam than most of the dedicated ones out there that are scarce and/or over-priced during these work-from-home times. This is frankly a no-brainer.Show lessMoonMusic NYC
Great app, worked as intended
I was very hesitant when I got this app, it seemed a little to good to be true. The setup was very easy and only took a few minutes. It connected automatically to my phone and I immediately went to test it on Zoom and to my amazement it worked perfectly. The only issue I had with the app was the mic, I wanted to test out the mic and it allowed me to do it by echoing back my audio if I wanted, it played fine through my speaker but I couldn’t get it to play through my headset I haven’t had the app for very long so I hope there’s a simple solution to this, and I’m not even sure it’s a problem with the app.Show lessperson who will remain unknown
Almost Perfect
Firstly, I wanna say great job on this! This app is super useful and saves 100’s on buying a webcam. The only issue I’m having is sometime my video feed will rapidly switch from colored to black and white back and forth. This will last 5-15 seconds and then stop for a while. I can’t seem to find a pattern to when this happens or what might cause it. Other than that it’s perfect :)Show less_KevinJerome_
I like it so far!!!
So far it dis exactly what I needed it too and it’s pretty quick! I would like more features so well see what I think with those. So far I’m content, my computer is older but iphone XSMax runs good with windows 10. I can’t run 60 frames with video quality at high because I own a 10 year old computer! I’m sure with the right equipment this program would run smoother. Rating = 8.9 stars out of 10Show lessLeather B Windfree
Simple solution
I use the app to use my iPhone with Zoom and OBS on Windows 10 over USB with separate audio input into computer. Simple and easy to use. Cheaper than OBS camera app (but doesn’t have histogram). Bonus feature is you can press record right in the app and it will instantly save a video file on your computer when you stop.
Was angry that the ads continued after I purchased the pro version. Support kindly encourages me to restart the app. Ads went away after that.Show lessTyson2
It is a bit buggy transitioning from trial to paid!
I bought this app on company’s website in order to be eligible for Family Sharing. After having problems with the app shifting from trial to paid, it finally worked smoothly. Now, it has been a little over a month and I am getting messages that the trial has expired and I must purchase this app - again! I have gotten frustrated with this constant trial problem that keeps coming up and am about to ask for a refund from the company. It is very frustrating to depend on iVCam for video conferencing and the app unexpectedly fails in this manner.
If you want something secure, iVCam is not reliable in its present version.Show lessLNCrosby
