iVCam
iVCam turns an iPhone, Android phone or tablet into a webcam for a Windows PC, connecting automatically over Wi-Fi or USB. Video sizes go up to 4K, with configurable frame rate and quality and both portrait and landscape modes. Camera controls include switching cameras, focus, exposure, zoom, and flipping or mirroring the video. Background replacement offers blur, bokeh, mosaic and green screen effects. A phone can also act as a wireless microphone, while the Windows client can preview, take pictures and record video files. Multiple devices can connect to one PC at the same time. The maker provides instructions for selecting iVCam as the camera and microphone in Zoom. A free plan and trial are listed, but the free version has a watermark and occasional ads; after the trial expires, video is limited to 640 × 480 and some features are restricted. A 1 Year subscription costs $12.95 a year, and a Permanent license costs 25.95 USD once. Each PC client license covers one PC. Background removal requires Windows 10 or later and a graphics card that supports DirectX 12.
