Hey, what's up, SaaS Master mine, George,
and today I'm going to show you how you can use your iPhone as a webcam.
So we're going to use the iPhone's camera
as an actual webcam to display whatever you want.
If we want to stream, if want to Zoom,
if we want to record a video with the camera, we can do that from our iPhone.
Now, why is this needed or why would you want to do this?
Well, because a native camera that's in a laptop actually sucks.
It's bad in low light and it's pixilated.
And if it's a desktop, you don't actually have a camera.
So you will need this.
And this will save you a lot of money because you don't have to buy a webcam,
but you will need to buy an app that I will show you.
It's called Epoc, which will be right here.
And they have a free version and a paid version.
The free version is only less than ten dollars. So it's worth it.
It's better than buying a new webcam
and it's better quality using your phone than an actual webcam.
So it's pretty cool that we have this
option and it will work on Windows and on Mac.
And there's also the same version for the Android phone.
And if you guys are getting is this compatible with the latest iPhone?
It is.
This is the iPhone to a pro and it works perfectly.
So what I'm going to do in this video, I'm going to demonstrate how this camera
looks with the iPhone and the native camera that's on my MacBook.
That's also a 2019, 16 inch MacBook.
And the reason I'm telling you this is because it's one of the latest my books
and it should have the best camera, even though they really, really suck.
So in this case,
you will know the comparison of how one looks with the other.
So let's jump into my desktop and show you
how the comparison looks between this and the native camera on my laptop.
So let's jump over there. All right.
What you're watching right now is the native camera on my laptop.
And I forgot to mention that this is compatible using by Wi-Fi or by USB cable.
I recommend that you use the USB cable because it does has little less Slack.
Now, let me open the Epoc camera right here.
And what it's going to do is going to show this way.
Now, I have enabled the USB one, but I will enable Wi-Fi so you guys can see it.
All right.
So now I have enabled Wi-Fi and what I'm going to do is display it
like that and let's get rid of the other one.
And this is my camera. There you go.
This is using Wi-Fi.
And like I said before, you might find some lag on that.
So what I'm going to do is actually connected via USB.
So that's like this with USB,right?
That's going to be.
And now let's mounted right here.
So we actually get a comparison of both of these cameras.
OK, so this is the native webcam and this is the camera on the iPhone.
So this is the iPhone camera.
Now, this is phone.
The app lets you select from the three cameras.
In this case, it's a purple one.
So we got the wide angle, we got the telephoto and we got the normal camera.
And just to show you the comparison of each one.
Check this out.
Check my surroundings and you will see that there's no pixelation.
Check this out.
Let me put my webcam, see all this noise, all that noise that you see around me,
because it doesn't capture the light as you would with the iPhone.
Now, take a good look at this light.
This light is blown out because it's it's it's on.
And let me get the iPhone camera.
Now you can see the light and you can
actually see the little springs inside of the dome box.
So it's much, much clearer.
And we don't have that noise around us.
You can actually see my my face on my like this perfections on my face.
So my stuff, maybe the texture right here.
Let me go back to the webcam, see how different that looks.
This looks really bad.
I got some harsh light right here.
I don't have that much of a hard sight, but I do because my face is shiny.
But you do see the difference in quality
of the camera, the native one, which is this one with the iPhone camera.
Now you can flip the screen.
I could also use the front camera.
There's also a chroma key, which I didn't like.
I wouldn't recommend it, but it's pretty cool.
Other options that you could do with using
this app is that you can carry it around if you're using Wi-Fi.
I mean, I can show you this room.
I could do a lot of stuff.
Maybe I'll show you something here on my on my desk.
So, for example, let's just say I want to show you this.
And you know what I could stream in this case, I have open OBS.
That's what I'm using right now to show you this.
So it's using OBS.
But if I can use other I can stream
to Facebook, to YouTube, I could stream on OBS like I would do right now.
There's a lot of things that I can do.
Well, guys, I hope you like this video.
I will leave the link description for the
for that app right there if you guys are interested.
Like I said before, there's a free version and a paid version,
the free version limits you to 720P, which is actually what you're looking
at right now, even though I have paid the twenty one.
But depending on the software that you're
using, if it's capable of streaming to an then it will take advantage of it.
If it's not, it will only take advantage of that advantage of 720P.
Now that is what you can do, right.
So for example, why would I want to buy this?
Well, I bought it already, but why did I buy it?
Because in this case, I might not want to take my DSLR are a big
camera and expensive camera, and I would just take my phone that I'm
already carrying and I would just carry a little tripod to use it as a webcam
because the native webcam on the MacBook really, really suck.
And on the other my other type of laptops that are kind of OK,
but they still won't measure up to what the camera is on an iPhone.
But there you go, guys. That is the iPod cam that I recommend.
You guys, if you want to use your iPhone
as a webcam, and that will save you from not buying an actual webcam that is
less quality than what you would get with this iPhone.
But there you go. Thank you for watching.
My name's George. This is SaaS Master.
And I'll see you guys later.
