## What is WiFi Camera for OBS?

WiFi Camera allows you to use your iPhone as a video source for your video broadcasting setup. The video is transmitted at up to 1080 HD resolution with fast frame rates. The app appears as a source in your Network Device Interface receiver software.

*** NOTE ***
Please see the support page for information on connecting the app if you are having issues. Your software may require a plugin.

For HD resolutions, a fast local network is recommended. NDI is a high-bandwidth, low frame delay protocol. It works best on high speed local networks. A separate 802.11ac network on a clear 5 GHz channel is recommended for best performance on HD resolutions. It is also recommended to not closely space WiFi devices to reduce interference between devices. 

You can also use the app with the device plugged into the computer to improve performance if your WiFi network is congested.

Features:
* Selectable resolution
* Selectable frame rate
* Auto and manual focus
* Camera switching
* Zoom

If you are having issues with the app, try reinstalling it. Please allow camera use and network access when prompted.

## Key features

- Selectable resolution up to 1080p HD
- Adjustable frame rate
- Auto and manual focus

### 1/5 — App is a scam

*2024-11-15*

The app is essentially a iphone camera control app, it has no "settings" or network functionality what so ever. The app notes claim to link to "other" plugins or a website, but nothing is listed. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY

### 1/5 — Wi-Fi camera and screen mirror for OBS

*2022-01-29*

I have recently bought my first Apple devices and I am appalled at the need to pay for apps just to try them. Many times I would not have gone ahead with apps had I known how poorly they perform. This bundle is a case in point. Despite the App Store notice saying these work on this device, the camera view on the iPad is on its side (although the correct orientation on the receiving device - Apple TV) and the screen mirror freezes and shows poor quality despite excellent Wi-Fi and a gigabit network. 
I would like a refund please and will not be using these apps.

### 5/5 — Kicked OBS Ninja Butt

*2021-07-12*

I tried the OBS Ninja, but couldn’t see my video on the camera, while streaming to OBS. So I downloaded WiFi Camera and now I see my video on my camera; plus, streaming to OBN. All camera features available while using, zoom, etc. 
Do it!

### 4/5 — Quick and Great price

*2021-04-26*

Hooked up with my PC's NDI set up right away and for way less than NewTek's $20 app. Two small issues for me:
 • Haven't been able to get audio working but that might be user error
• On my 12 mini changing between front and back cameras flips the image vertically. which makes me have to rotate the phone when i switch.

**Developer response:** Thank you for providing feedback. I will investigate the issue of the video flipping. As to the audio issue, please make sure you have granted microphone permission in the Settings App. If you have further questions or issues, please email me via the Support link on the app's page in the App Store.

### 1/5 — Get my money back

*2021-03-09*

Lagg interface. Not optimized for xr. Sh”””t app

### 1/5 — Want my money back. This app is not working.

*2021-01-10*

This app is not working with iPhone 12 Pro. I want my money back.

**Developer response:** Thank you for providing feedback. I have tested the app and do not see any particular issues. You may want to try to delete the app and reinstall it. Make sure you enable local network access. Also, please send an email via the Support link from the App Store page, and I will help solve your issue and help you with your request.

### 5/5 — Feature request

*2020-11-09*

Please add exposure competition or tap to exposure, 50hz option and fix autofocus behavior. Lens selection on newer models would be nice too)

**Developer response:** Thank you for providing feedback. I will implement support for the ultra wide and telephoto lenses. I will also look into adding some exposure options.

### 1/5 — No funciona

*2020-09-22*

No funciona la app como debería, se desconecta a cada rato y eso que fue conectado en un router dualband con tecnología muo mimo y en 5ghrz, no gasten en vano, pensé que era tecnología NDI y no es.

### 4/5 — Software does not work as well as others

*2020-07-09*

Would have liked a trial before purchase.
iPhone 8+ with iOS 13.5.1  installed
Clean and current OBS and NDI plug-in used.

App started, was visible as NDI source but never showed image in OBS
Tested other apps, and they all worked.
This app did not work in the same environment.

Taking the device to a new network and another fresh install it works as expected.
Possibly some fine tuning to app is required. Until then, 4stars as I. And be sure it will work in production.

### 2/5 — Works but not 100%

*2020-06-13*

You can get a connection with this but mini freezes and stutters occur regularly that it’s not comfortable watching and occasionally it will just freeze so you have to restart the app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for providing feedback. Can you please send an email via the Support link? I would be happy to investigate the issue and try to provide a fix.
