Lumary Cam Mobile turns your iPhone into a high-quality USB‑C camera source for the Lumary Cam Mac app. Plug in over USB‑C and your Mac sees the iPhone alongside its other cameras — no Wi-Fi setup, no cloud, no account. HIGH-QUALITY CAPTURE Stream your iPhone camera to your Mac with hardware-accelerated HEVC encoding. Low-latency settings keep the feed responsive for calls, recordings, and live presentations. Default 4K at 60 fps, with 120 and 240 fps where your lens supports it. ENHANCED ON THE PHONE Noise reduction, low-light recovery, sharpness, smart white balance, LUT looks, and background blur, removal, or replacement all run on the iPhone itself — your Mac receives a finished feed and stays cool and responsive. Face-driven autofocus keeps you sharp instead of the background. RELIABLE BY DESIGN Close and reopen the app, lock the phone, or unplug and replug — streaming reconnects automatically within seconds. No camera juggling on either side. FINAL CUT CAMERA–STYLE INTERFACE A full-bleed preview, an inline lens row for one-tap zoom, and a single Adjust sheet that gathers every deep control: Lens, Exposure, Focus, Color, Format, Steady, More. FULL CAMERA CONTROLS Switch between Ultra Wide, Wide, Telephoto, and Front lenses. Lock exposure or go fully manual with ISO, shutter, and EV sliders. Take manual focus or tap the preview to focus on a subject. Set custom white balance with Tungsten, Daylight, Cloudy, and Shade presets or dial in temperature and tint by hand. FORMAT YOUR WAY Pick the resolution and frame rate that fit your workflow, from 24 fps cinematic to 240 fps where supported. STABILIZATION, ZOOM, AND TORCH Use Standard stabilization, smooth-ramp the zoom, and flip the torch on for low-light scenes. COMPOSITION TOOLS Rule-of-thirds grid, horizon level, and a Mirror Front Camera switch help you nail the shot before going live. DRIVE IT FROM YOUR MAC The Lumary Cam Mac app shows the same lens, exposure, focus, color, zoom, stabilization, and torch controls below the preview. Adjust from the Mac while the iPhone is mounted on a tripod. PRIVACY FIRST All video stays on the USB cable. No Wi-Fi discovery, no Bonjour advertising, no cloud upload, no account, no analytics, no tracking. Requires an iPhone running iOS 17 or later, a USB‑C connection to your Mac, and the Lumary Cam Mac app.
