FineCam: use the iPhone as a webcam
The iPhone camera offers quality unattainable by any webcam built into laptops and most external webcams. We can rely on video in FHD e 4K a 60 fps with the possibility of realizing shooting in HDR and with wide-angle optics. We therefore have the possibility to make high-resolution, fluid and vivid color shots. Furthermore, it is possible to connect the iPhone to the PC both via cable (for a more stable connection), and via Wi-Fi in order not to have the limit of the wire that is practically impossible to remove in webcams. We will also be able to use the front and rear cameras at the same time to easily create picture-in-picture effects.
