CamFlowLite vs OMTake

CamFlowLite transforms your iOS device into a high-performance NDI® camera, ready for real-time wireless streaming with zero setup. Designed specifically for creators, live streamers, and remote production teams, this app turns any compatible iPhone or iPad into a flexible video source over Wi-Fi — no capture card, no USB cable, no cloud, and no login required. Just launch the app and connect instantly to OBS Studio, vMix, Ecamm Live, NDI Monitor, TriCaster, or any other tool that supports the NDI protocol. CamFlowLite broadcasts low-latency, uncompressed video on your local network in real time, with support for: • Customizable stream name • Dynamic resolution and framerate (up to 4K 30 fps) • Live battery status and connection indicator • Auto-discovery via Bonjour and NDI metadata • Full-screen landscape camera preview • Background audio-friendly session handling • Instant detection by OBS with zero configuration CamFlowLite requires no user account, no server, and no subscription. All processing stays local on your device. It’s designed to be lightweight, stable, and efficient — ideal for fast deployments or mobile multicam workflows. To get started, simply connect your device to the same Wi-Fi network as your NDI receiver. Adjust the stream name, resolution, and framerate from the built-in settings panel. That’s it — you're live. For best performance, we recommend using a Wi-Fi 6 or 6E router and disabling VPNs or captive portals. Tested with up to 8 devices simultaneously on a single network. Fully compatible with OBS Studio 30+, NDI Tools 5.5+, and macOS, Windows or Linux receivers. CamFlowLite is part of the Pilot for OBS project — enabling better wireless camera control and next-gen mobile production tools. No account. No cloud. Just video. For best results, we recommend a high-performance Wi-Fi 6 router, such as TP-Link Archer AX90, ASUS RT-AX88U, or Netgear Nighthawk RAX120.

OMTake is the first iOS app to stream live video and audio using the OMT (Open Media Transport) protocol — the open-source alternative to NDI developed by vMix/StudioCoast. Connect your iPhone as a wireless camera source to vMix or any OMT-compatible receiver on your local network. No additional hardware needed.
