Using an iPhone as a Remote Video Recorder from a Mac

Solution 1:

There seem to be a handful of apps available that allow your iPhone to act as a webcam for your Mac over Wi-Fi, which would allow you to view and record video from them. A few of the ones I found:

  • PocketCam
  • Mobiola WebCamera
  • iWebcamera

For recording purposes, you may need to use the built-in recording functionality of QuickTime Player, although some of the apps seem to have free companion OS X software that will accomplish the same goal.
