Heats up both iPhone 6s and X
Arod205
I used the app on both an iPhone 6s and an iPhone X. It does look much better than a webcam, specially the iPhone X because of the camera. It was simple enough to connect it to OBS as well; however, I had some challenges: 1) Both phones heated up too much when running the app. The iPhone 6s even issued a warning and shut off itself which I never saw doing before. Therefore this avoided me from using this app to replace my webcam, which is why I gave it three 3 stars, because it’s a free app I didn’t give it a lower rating. 2). The WiFi generates a delay between the audio and the video, so I had to tune it on the OBS mixer, it took several tests, but it was ok. The real problem was that the next day the delay was different so I had to readjust the settings which was annoying. There should be an option to use the cable from my point of view. Again, since the app is free I didn’t want to give it a lower rating and I’m hoping the heating up issue can be fixed with an update. I want to try a different application which allows to connect the cable since I’m just looking to replace the webcam with the iPhone 6s. Unfortunately I’m hesitant because the other apps cost money and they have bad reviews.
Is there a paid version without the NDI logo?

I like this for streaming except for the giant logo...can I pay to remove it? Or is there a way to replace it with our own logo? Thanks
Doesn’t work with Mac

Does not work with Mac as of June 2020. No warnings. Waste of money for Apple users. Company is hard to contact.
It’s a good start

I love the NDI tech over cat5 but over witless is not stable enough. This is a great app for testing signal but the latency over WiFi makes the camera and audio almost useless. I wish I could also connect via Lightning cable like OBS camera it will be a huge improvement but I understand it won’t be using NDI tech at that point which makes it null.
Cannot Input Server Address

I have a Mac on the Internet I need to which I wish to send video. The Mac has a real Internet address. I find no way to enter that address into NDIHX Cam. U can do it in NDI Cam, but I don't see any video from that app.
Don’t buy
BeastBas23
I literally just bought this for Streamlabs OBS and it lags really bad. I have solid internet and I stream on a daily basis with a nice PC setup. For the price this product should offer a usb to pc connection. For just straight reliance on wifi I would not recommend buying this. Waste of $20. I want my money back. Like seriously don’t buy. It’s sounds great but the performance is horrible. I have an iPhone 11 Pro as well so the quality should be amazing. Literally like a 2 sec delay compared to my Logitech c922.
Poor performance, Not Reliable
Usdcarbon
Poor Performance for a great Idea, I’m tried it with 260 Mbps down and 29 Mbps up, the app has lag and stuttering to the point that it’s not usable at all, I will not recommend to use this to do any streaming too expensive and it doesn’t deliver what they offer. You Better buy “Shoot - camera fees” cheap and reliable as the connection is made through your logging cable, I have use it for 2 iPhones as cameras as the same time and works perfect, you will gain so much screen view without being concern about performance issues, highly recommended.
Had promise but overheats my iPhone 6s Plus
dmanglol
Technically the app is simple and just seems to work. Unfortunately on my 6s I can only go for about 10 minutes before it overheats. I have no case on my phone and it was mounted in a cradle arm so it had good airflow around it. I haven’t tried on my other iPhones because I can’t risk the phone shutting down during a presentation due to overheating.
Coming from TC Camera

I definitely found this to be more reliable than the TC Camera app. I actually had to switch to this during a production when my camera connection went out. Really good product and great video quality.
