During the coronavirus pandemic, the demand for webcams was so high It was a daunting task to get any model, not only because of its scarcity, but also because its price had increased considerably. The solution that many users used was to turn their iPhone into a webcam to use from a PC or Mac.
One of the applications that reached the market throughout 2020 to perform this function was Camo, an application that allowed us use the front or rear camera of our iPhone as a webcam in 1080p HD. Reincubate, developer of this application, has just updated the application adding professional functions.
And when I say professional functions, I mean options that we will not find in any other application of this type. Among the new features that we are going to find in the software update for PC and Mac are the possibility of adding a screen curtain, pausing the operation of the camera, option to save images and finally, now is available in 11 new languages, including Spanish.
A large number of guides to be able to use Camo with more platforms like Webex, Tuple and Facebook Workplace. A very interesting function is found in the automatic shutdown of the iPhone screen when we are using the rear camera of the device. Performance has also been improved and bugs fixed.
Camo is available for download through the App Store for free. The application to be able to use the camera of our iPhone from a PC or Mac and take advantage of all the functions is in its web page. Unlike other applications if it allows us to transmit the image via Wi-Fi, with Camo only possible by connecting iPhone to PC or Mac with the charging cable.
If we want to unlock all the functions, we must go to the box and pay 33,99 euros plus VAT that it costs in Europe. If our needs go through using only the camera together with the microphone, with the free version it is more than enough.
