PocketCam lets you use your iPhone as a wireless webcam for your Windows-based computer or Mac (OS X 10.5 or above). PocketCam automatically forwards video captured by your iPhone camera, which can then be used as if they come from a virtual webcam.
PocketCam works with any Windows-based webcam applications, including instant message applications such as MSN LIve Messenger, Skype, AIM, etc. For Mac users, PocketCam works with any Mac applications that use QuickTime for video capturing, including GTalk, Skype, and aMSN.
Instructions
- If you have not already done so, download and install the PocketCam for Windows or Mac software from this page.
- On Windows, run PocketControl for Windows and make sure the SensticPocketService is running on your computer. On Mac, run PocketControl from the Mac applications folder and select PocketCam as your preferred webcam.
- Connect your iPhone to your home network using Wi-Fi.
- Start PocketCam on iPhone, and the app will automatically connect to your computer. The bottom of your iPhone screen should display "Connected to your_computer_name: port."
- Start any program on your computer that uses webcam, and select "PocketCam" as your virtual webcam.
