CameraVision App Reviews

Great app. Intend to use it for teaching. Suggest incorporating draw option to highlight important info and zoom in and out.

I’ve been looking for an app that would allow me to stream from the iPhone camera to an airplay receiver WITH NO ICONS or other clutter on the airplay output. I’m actually using this for live streaming of events with the phone rigged up on a Steadicam. Gives great effects and you can get it in places where other cameras cannot go. There is NO OTHER APP that I know of that has the ability to stream from the camera in full screen 1080p without showing all the icons, menu items and other tools that you of course do need for regular photography or videography. All other apps that I have found only work in mirroring - not using the ability to send a different stream to the airplay transmitter than what is on the iPhones own screen. Only two things I would wish for: 1) That I could find this more easily on the app store! 2) The ability to lock focus, exposure and white balance by tapping on the screen or using icons on the iPhone screen only - as per other camera apps would be great… of course not really the original concept for this app but hey… I’m actually surprised other serious videography apps don’t use this ability, as it would basically give you secondary monitoring - a real pro rig!

This app is straightforward and intuitive. Worked exactly as needed- only a video shows on the projector screen with no controls.

Does extactly as shown. Hoping to see video recording when presenting. That would be a great plus in the future...

I run a live streaming show and was looking to add a second camera to the mix. I decided to use my iPhone 4 as a camera and finally ran across this app. CameraVision works as advertised, letting me feed the iPhones camera to a standard definition video mixer. It would be nice to see the ability to lock focus in a future version.

I have iPhone 4 and a composite cable and it works fast and easily with a tv. Im using a phone to transmit images to all the TVs at the school I work at, what a time were living in!

I love this app, we needed an extra document camera for the classroom and it works perfectly!!!

This app works great, but it would be cool if it used the microphone to pick up sound. It would also be cool if you could use an apple tv for display.

After getting a picoprojector I was bummed to learn that its native iPhone cable to projector only worked with apps that have video out- (photo library doesnt even have photo out unless in slideshow mode?!) - had just done a search for vid out apps.. Found this one.. Good reviews.. Couldnt agree more and havent made an app review so quickly before! It is really well programmed and designed.. They thought of almost everything- perhaps ability to play movies from photo library is next..? But there is already a vid app for that.. This covers all the rest- I can imagine how useful this is as a overhead cam for presentations.. Drawing/painting from still image on library.. Even that pause function is great to capture image from live feed and hold. Bravo- my pico is so much happier now!

I travel to different locations to present. I use this app and my iPod Touch as a document camera. Works great, and people go nuts for it. If it had zoom in and out features, it would be as good as a real document projection system. The portability is great!

I have a training class on how to use the iPad and this works great but I need to have an option for fixed focus. As I move my hand in an out of the frame it focuses on my hand instead of the iPad screen :) Thanks for the Airplay support! It works great!

I cant send video from iPod touch 4th generation to apple TV 3rd generation. I am mad. Not worth $0.99 ($1.00).

It does exactly as advertised, totally recommended. Plus: Great refresh rate.

Does not output live to AirPlay as it says in the description. Thats the only feature I wanted.

Does not do airplay. Other features are nice. But false advertising. Would not have purchased if I knew AirPlay did not work.

Dont no how to wach the video:(

Turn on AirPlay with mirroring and it displays a presentation output, all tools and notices are only visible on your phone. Only problem is a weird thing where my batter drops to 1% when I start using it even though my battery is not dead.

I routinely demonstrate small objects to large audiences. It is always difficult to find the necessary overhead projection equipment. This app allows me to use my iphone + hdmi converter + car mount phone holder to project an amazingly high quality image. Definitely worth every penny!

I use this app with Apple TV AirPlay, and it is awesome. Especially with the new IPhone 6s camera.

If you are looking to use your iPhone as a full screen video source in OBS or livestreaming, this is the app you need. In fact, it's the only one I have ever found. It works perfectly. $1 is a steal for this, please support this dev because this product is gold.

Doesn’t work on iPhone 12 Pro Max. You’ll burn $1 only to find out it doesn’t work.

I absolutely love this app. I use it to show what I am demonstrating in my quilting classes. I open that app on my phone and place my phone in an overhead mount connected via HDMI cable to a TV. All my students can see what I am doing on the TV display. Much better class experience for all.

I get no full screen on iPad 20201007 .

4K out is not supported, and you can’t switch rear lenses. Those features are essential.

I’ve just been testing this briefly and so far it looks great. But I noticed that if I set video recording to 60fps in the main camera app, I get a much lower latency preview over USB (QuickTime Player). That doesn’t seem to benefit this app, though. Could you somehow switch it to use the the 60fps preview mode if available?

Wanted to use this app to pipe camera feed from my phone into a live stream. It connected great the first time for a few minutes, but now I just get an alert that says “No External Display” I tried deleting and restarting with no luck. I know I am connected because my screen is mirroring in obs. Please fix!

Iphone 11 now hs a wider lens. There should be an update that supports it

iOS doesn’t allow the camera app to stay in landscape mode when air playing to a smartTV.. this app is EXACTLY the perfect fix to this issue (seriously, Apple??). Now I can clamp my phone to a shelf and project pottery demos from the wheel and painting demos from my desk in FULL SCREEN. So thankful for this and hope it’ll make my classroom that much easier. Can’t wait to test it out on Monday.

couldnt get it to work with apple mirror play and eventually couldnt get mirror play working after using the app. couldnt get it to detect an external hdmi out.

On my iPhone 6s the image seen on-screen and sent to the HDMI is cropped to something slightly less than a full 1080p image. This results in black bars on two sides of the image on my HDMI tv. iOS 12.3.1. If I record the output and use it as the source for a movie, I’ll have a lot more work to do than if I was getting a true 1080p signal. If this is a bug, and it gets fixed, I’d up my rating to a 5.

I was looking for something that could be used as a live camera streamed to my Apple TV. This worked like a charm the first time I fired it up. My intentions were to use it to help with some homeschooling projects. Other uses are obvious such as presentations, document viewer, etc. Thanks for making the exact app I was hunting for!

This app is billed as a potential document camera replacement, but who wants a document camera that focuses on a hand instead of the document? Think of the teachers that use this to do worked examples and demonstrations and their students see constant focus shifting. WHAT KIND OF DEVELOPER IGNORES A VITAL PART OF AN APP FOR YEARS UPON YEARS?

You can’t turn off the interface if the app doesn’t recognize an attached display. Completely worthless to me. I’d love my dollar back.

This app is excellent for displaying an iOS device's camera feed onto another screen. I use an Apple TV connected to an LED projector, so my phone isn't tied down with cords and I can walk around with it. The ability to black out or freeze the screen image is great, as is the ability to place an arrow on the screen to highlight an area of focus. You can even capture and save photos right from within the app.
