A wireless camera smartphone application
Iriun 4K Webcam is an app that lets you wirelessly use the camera on your Android phone as your desktop webcam and with fantastic resolution.
Convenience
Connecting your smartphone camera to the PC and using it as an alternative to the static webcam add flexibility to every Skype and FaceTime call.
Many apps cater to that need but unfortunately, the most notable industry titles, such as IP Webcam and DroidCam, don't work at all with Mac devices. With Iriun 4K Webcam, you can connect your Android to both Windows and Mac desktops, and use the mobile lens instead.
Easy installation and setup
Once you download this programme, you'll want to remember to download and install the webcam drivers necessary for it to work. You'll find them on the developer's website.
After that, Iriun is straightforward to use. You just launch the app on your mobile and the webcam server on your desktop, and the programme will automatically connect the two through a local WiFi network.
Alternatively, if your WiFi is unstable, you can connect using a USB cable. This function doesn't work on Mac, however. Either way, the next step is selecting Iriun as an audio and video source in the app you're using.
Smooth UI
The user interface is quite sleek and easy to navigate, even for those not familiar with camera applications. The settings and especially documentation do need some improvement but overall, you won't find yourself visiting the FAQ section that often.
Performance
This programme connects your devices seamlessly and doesn't feature lags in audio or video unless your WiFi is causing an issue. The video quality also goes up to 4K, although the actual results you'll get depend on the quality of your smartphone camera.
Beneficial
Despite the fact that it lacks Zoom integration and has some performance issues at times, Iriun 4K Webcam is a handy tool for anyone looking for more mobility during their webcam use. It's sleek, quick, and versatile enough to be worth a shot, especially considering that it's 100% free.
