Description
WiFi Camera makes a great remote-photography tool! Set up one device to take a group photo, and use the other as a remote!
WiFi Camera will allow you to connect two iOS devices wirelessly. You will be able to receive and transmit the camera view with the other device, in addition to sending photo capture requests, which will take a full-resolution photo on the receiving device, transfer it to the requesting device, and save the photo on both devices.
Simply download WiFi Camera, install and run it on two devices or more, and it works like a charm! NOTE: You need to install and run WiFi Camera on two devices, one of which should have a camera.
- Works on all iPhones, iPads, iPod Touches! (iOS 7.0+)
- Fast image streaming
- WiFi or Bluetooth connection
- Picture-in-picture view of what is being transmitted
- Beautiful, intuitive interface
- One-touch connect & disconnect
- Interface rotates with the device

Connection Issues?
It is possible that your wireless network does not support the Bonjour Networking protocol that WiFi Camera utilizes. You should make sure that both devices are successfully connected to the same wireless network and that there is successful connectivity. If this does not work, it is recommended that bluetooth be turned on for both devices.

Ratings and Reviews
Potential but really rough
I'm using an iPad Air 2 to connect to an iPhone 5s.
Perhaps the issues are with the 8.1 iOS but it needs some work.
Pros - very easy install, I tested connecting via WiFi and bluetooth - in both cases the devices found each other. Bluetooth is a nice touch for when WiFi is not around.
Switching between front & rear cameras worked.
Now, the Cons -
Repeatedly, the app dropped the connection, forcing me to reconnect, which means going back and forth to "accept". This was right after taking a picture, and going back to look at a photo (which is necessary for reasons described below) dropped the connection.
The first picture I took worked, looked fine. However, if the app did not drop the connection then each subsequent picture was just a black square. I've never seen anything like that. Picture 1, fine, picture 2, just a "lump of coal".
There are no zoom controls or anything like camera or flash controls.
It's an interesting concept, and could be useful for many projects, but the dropping & "lump of coal" issues make this pretty close to useless.
I hope the developer puts some work in this, as this could be a nice utility.
Amazing work!
This app is really helpful when I need to paste KT tapes on my back single-handedly. Hats off to the dev who keeps improving it over the years.
Garbage pure ugly garbage
I actually bought this app based on an Apple review online, suggested by a so called “Genius”.
This app is nothing more than me Alexa “drop in “call. It looks exactly the same. You cannot control one device or the other. You can only see what is going on.
Had I want to use the Alexa drop in call, or just used iChat... it would be the same thing.
It’s not a remote! Not at all..
I’m asking for my money back from Apple. You don’t deserve my money. You should be taken off the store. Total rip off.
