Turn Your iPhone Into a Webcamera

Posted September 12, 2010 at 8:53pm by iClarified
drahtwerk has announced the release and immediate availability of the iWebcamera 2.0 software update. iWebcamera is the only application on the App Store that turns the iPhone into a real, driver-based webcamera. With iWebcamera the iPhone can be used as webcamera in applications like Skype, Windows Live Messenger, YouTube and other webcamera enabled desktop applications. iWebcamera 2.0 introduces full support for the iPhone 4 including Retina display graphics, support for both cameras and more.

The release of iWebcamera 2.0 was initially rejected in July due to developer policy changes introduced together with the Apple iOS 4.0 release. iWebcamera 2.0 is a complete rewrite of the original application that makes use of the new APIs introduced with iOS 4.0. More information on the story behind the long approval process can be found in the developer's blog.

* Built-in manual
* Plug and Play ready, install the Windows drivers, connect the iPhone to the computer's network and the camera is ready to go
* Compatible with Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, XP, Apple's Leopard and Snow Leopard


New In This Version:
* Supports both iPhone 4 cameras
* Supports landscape and portrait orientations
* iPhone 4 Retina display assets
* YouBlue effect, turns your face blue
* Improved performance and reduced network lag
* PowerPC drivers for non-Intel based Apple computers

Supported Languages:

Make sure you have WiFi turned on. Open up Skype or some sort of program that uses a webcam. It should automatically detect something with "drahtwerk" if it doesn't, go to the setup and select it manually.
