WiFi Camera — Your phone camera, on the PC

• Add an angle to a call: point the phone at documents, your hands, or a corner of the room, separate from the laptop camera.
• Skip extra cables: use the same Wi-Fi instead of an HDMI capture device or a USB cable.
• Repeat a prepared shot: loop a recorded clip for a demo or a holding picture.
• Limit who can watch: protect the connection with a passcode or QR code, and encrypt with TLS 1.2 / 1.3 or DTLS.

The iPhone and Android apps share the same features. The default stream name is “WiFi Camera”.

• Start and stop: send the camera to receivers on the same Wi-Fi. Leaving the app stops the stream; returning rebuilds the session and resumes.
• Front and back cameras.
• Resolution: 360p, 720p, 1080p, or 2160p.
• Frame rate: 24, 25, 30, 50, or 60 fps.
• Quality: output size as a percentage of the chosen resolution. Presets are Full (100%), Standard (80%), and Reduced (50%). In-between values are allowed.
• Pixels: uncompressed UYVY or BGRA. H.264 is also available (not with BGRA).
• Upright correction: follow device tilt, level the stream, and crop to a standard portrait or landscape ratio. The picture stays upright however you hold the phone. On by default.
• Rotate, mirror, and zoom: rotate the outgoing picture 180°, mirror it, or pinch-zoom up to 2.5×. The zoom center on the preview is remembered. The preview itself does not change.
• Profiles: three built-ins — Standard (1080p, 30 fps, quality 80%, UYVY), High (1080p, 30 fps, quality 100%, BGRA), and Low latency (720p, 60 fps, quality 70%, UYVY). Save the current setup under a name, recall it, or delete it.
• Recording: a 5-second countdown, then an MP4. Clips under 0.4 seconds are discarded. The cap is 30 minutes and three saved clips; a fourth save deletes the oldest. A loop span is detected automatically.
• Loop send: loop points are detected automatically. Adjust the start and end by hand, then repeat that span to receivers.
• Clips and stills: import a video, or choose a still image as the stream source. Preview, rename, edit the loop span, and delete.
• Heat: when the device is hot, drop one resolution step, use 24 fps, and multiply quality by 0.6. On by default.
• Demo mode: alternate 30 seconds of sending and 30 seconds paused.
• Link protection: choose TCP/IP (plain or TLS 1.2 / 1.3) or UDP/IP (DTLS). Limit who connects with a passcode or a QR code. Encryption and pairing are set separately.
• Advertised address: when the phone has several addresses, pick automatic or a specific one to announce to receivers.
• Languages: English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, and Russian.

Both receivers are free. Other apps see the camera as WiFi Camera Receiver at 1280×720. Keep the receiver running while another app has that camera open.

• Automatic discovery: when a phone starts sending on the same Wi-Fi, Bonjour and a LAN scan try to connect.
• Preview: watch the connected picture inside the receiver.
• Calls and streaming apps: once published as a camera, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, OBS, and other apps that pick a PC camera can use it.
• Windows: requires Windows 11. Publish as Camera asks for administrator approval once. If Zoom does not list the camera, set Zoom’s video capturing method to Media Foundation and restart Zoom.
• Mac: preview works inside the receiver. To join other apps’ camera lists, put the Apple Developer–signed app in Applications, then choose Publish as Camera. An unsigned build can preview only.

The phone apps are not on the stores yet. The Windows and Mac receivers are free — no license purchase.
