## Description

IP4K: Phone cam as IP Camera turns your iPhone or iPad into a 4K IP camera using RTSP. Stream the feed wirelessly over your local Wi‑Fi network and view it in Google Chrome on any device, or open it with VLC for broad compatibility and low latency. The app also supports viewing on Apple TV.

Note: The camera app can drain your device battery quickly. Use a power adapter or reduce resolution and FPS (SD at 20 FPS works well for longer battery life). With VLC you can record streams from multiple IP cameras simultaneously.

## Review summary

IP4K works best in VLC environments, offering easy setup and fast, adjustable streaming. However, it is VLC-dependent, has a price that some feel is not worth it, and shows reliability and feature limitations (no multi-camera view, limited on-device controls). Network firewalls can also block playback in some setups.

### Pros

- Reliable VLC-based streaming when configured as recommended.
- Easy setup that exposes the camera IP/URL for quick streaming.
- Fast streaming with adjustable resolution to fit different network speeds.
- Simple, straightforward functionality that does what it promises.

### Cons

- Requires VLC; limited compatibility with other security camera systems.
- Paid app with value concerns; some users feel it's not worth the price.
- Stability issues including crashes and intermittent failures.
- Limited feature set (no multi-camera view or on‑the‑fly quality controls).
- Occasional network-related blocks (firewalls) affecting playback.
