Features & Capabilities

"CameraVision" outputs the images of the built-in camera and the corresponding sounds from the built-in microphone to an external device such as a projector or a TV monitor. This application can be used similar to a "document camera (overhead projector)" or a "live camera" to project documents, objects, people or scenes onto a large screen. In addition, showing a still image from Photo Albums is possible. Wireless transfer to AirPlay supported devices such as Apple TV is supported, as well as connections via various cables and adapters.

The following adapters/cables are supported:

AirPlay supported devices
Apple TV (2nd generation and later)
USB Type-C Cable (video output supported)
Lightning to VGA Adapter
Lightning Digital AV Adapter (HDMI)
Apple VGA Adapter
Apple Digital AV Adapter (HDMI)
Apple Composite AV Cable
Apple Component AV Cable

This application has the functions listed below. You can set them up easily using the buttons on the screen.

Camera image resolution switching from SD (640x480 pixels) up to Full HD (1920x1080 pixels)
External display image resolution switching from SD (640x480 pixels) up to Full HD (1920x1080 pixels)

These functions depend on devices and adapter/cables used.
Please unplug and then plug your dock adapter/cable if no image is shown on the external display properly.
Microphone input can be sent to an external speaker via HDMI, Composite or Component cable with the camera image. It can be sent wirelessly to AirPlay supported devices or Apple TV. When using a VGA cable, plug an audio cable to iPhone's headphone jack.
To work with AirPlay supported devices or Apple TV, tap the screen mirroring button in the Control Center. This app treats it as an external display rather than actual mirroring. https://support.apple.com/en-us/102661#mirroriOS

User Reviews

Used for livestream but did not record sound although mic was ON on the app. It turned out that mic had to be turned OFF on this app to pick up sounds! This is against common sense and intuition.

I used this app for years in my classroom. It was the simplest and cheapest way to get a document camera, and the image was always so clear and high quality. I recommended it to everyone. But this summer I upgraded my phone to a 13 Pro, and the image is always upside down. The app will rotate to the side, but will not go upside down to project images. I am disappointed. I really loved this app. Too bad the developers have ignored it for so long.

If you are looking to use your iPhone as a full screen video source in OBS or livestreaming, this is the app you need. In fact, it's the only one I have ever found. It works perfectly. $1 is a steal for this, please support this dev because this product is gold.
