Although I have a great WiFi connection, when I connected though USB, I realized immediately it made a HUUUUGE difference! Thank you for the no nonsense, straight to the point tutorials!
GETSUM Snap!
I have issued with the USB
Any help?
@@kimberlygraybeal9770 same. Mine was having buffer type issues when plugged in and without.
If you are using a XIAOMI phone, you need to set developer mode on your phone and activate USB debugger option first in other to work via USB.
I've never heard of that phone but cool.
I wouldn‘t call it zero latency since you can still notice a difference to the direct webcam and it doesn‘t seem 100% lip synced but for the price it‘s definitely an excellent solution. Thanks for the detailed overview!
Agree, if your starting out that knock off converter is perfect. You can modify the color in OBS with filters with little effort.
I came here from the other video where you show how to connect 2 cameras. You said you spent an hour troubleshooting the wifi connection problem and then your solution is to end up making the video ONLY for USB connection, mate...Not cool!
It took me less than 10 minutes to come up with the solution, just add some in/out exceptions for advanced configuration of the firewall and check if you don't have 2 different instances of e2eSoft iVCam in this panel "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Defender Firewall\Allowed apps", if so then just check both are allowed and be sure to activate the one that works.
It works now. Thanks for the video anyway, the lag part was pretty good...I'm getting very low lag with FHD at 24fps medium quality and RGB24.
Outstanding.
@@ScottFichter do you have any other method to get no lag? I'm planning to use only smartphone cameras via WiFi, I'm considering just record the audio with a good mic, clap the start and synchronize it in post, anyway it's not gonna be live so i think the will work or...? Do you think the lag is variable?
On your PC setup, you need to allow private network access with a firewall exception for your LAN wifi to work.
This was really helpful! I was able to play around with the settings and with some decent lighting I got great results with my external recording mic.
Liked and subbed.
I appreciate it God..
That flickering can be fixed by clicking on the preview of the IVCAM and zooming in and out rapidly
We are currently livestreaming with IVCAM only 3 devices in OBS at 1920x1080. Works very wel
Wow killer.
Wish i had seen this video before buying a DSLR...Thanks Scott, amazing video once again
Damien, a good DSLR is good because it's designed for long video sessions. Don't write it off just yet.
dslr are very good lol, much better than a smartphone
So is this a good (better?) alternative to DroidCam X?
Not any more. DroidCam X is better.
great tutorial. solved my latency problem!
OUTSTANDING!
From Iraq, Erbil
I like your explaining way it is inspiring lazy ones like me to learn something I never need 😆😄
thank you Scott
Thanksk Ahmed. Stay strong brother.
hi, its possible to connect 2 or more phones? to have multicam view in OBS? thaanks i like your videos! (sorry for my english)
No worries S A P. Yes, but the best scenario is output from the camera using USB 3.0. Cell phones work but they are a pain in the ass because they can get hot.
There is lag in mine in 60fps in iphone 13promax in 1920x1080. and also the camera it uses is only wide angle. it does not use 1x or 3x. so when zoomed the quality degrades. but i love this. I didn't know you could use usb connection until this video. i get no lag in 1920x1080 in 30fps . I also purchased newtek ndi hx but it's so laggy. this is much better. my comptuer is pretty beasty too. do you have any idea why i'm getting lag in 60fps ?
Thank You for Your amazing software for smartphones - chipest (free) webcam - congratulation for the product - LOVE ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks pal
This dude cant lie, he is very wise
Muchas muchas gracias!!! Finally I could fix that problem. I was desperated.
Note that you Only need the pro version on either your PC or on your phone
Benefits of having it on your pc is that you can connect up to 5 devices simultaneously for just 10 bucks
Down side of things you can only use IVCAM with that 1 pc
Benefits of your Phone/iPad/tablet. You can use different pc to run IVCAM
But unfortunately you can't use multiple devices at the same time without buying the pro version on each and every one of them
But for the money i wouldn't mind having to buy it 1 more time
Yea, I think it's worth it.
Thanks Scott, very good!
You helped me.
Glad it helped!
iVcam is by far the most polished app software that I have used for this use case. However in OBS I get motion stutter no matter what res I use. I have plenty of PC horsepower so not sure what to do about that.
Are you using WIFI? If you are consider using USB3
Thank you for your video first, but I am unable to get the settings menu you show for ivcam. The program won't open by its self on desktop, but only in OBS, and it won't allow any adjustments there. Most of the options are greyed out. Perhaps this is because I have not purchased the premium, but only trying it out with the free version. Will keep trying to figure i out.
I like that "wand" color enhancement.. beauty mode..LOL.. I need that following me around all day IRL... lol... great video my friend.. always clear and complete instructions.. well done my friend
Yes, that effect was actually pretty cool. Best wishes to you.
Hey Scott - good to see ya! I'm gonna try iVcam with my Android, hoping I can connect wirelessly as USB is not an option for how I'm using it. Wish me luck! Rainy day in Northern New York so it's a good day to work on this! Take care!
Rolly, reply back here and let us know if it worked out.
@@ScottFichter Howdie! Well, I tried every tip and trick that iVCam suggested and couldn't get the program to connect Android to PC via WiFi. At least I learned a lot from trying, plus I think iVCam is going to be something I can use in the future! Thanks for all your tutorials, Scott! Keep up the great work!
This is an interesting question! I have a galaxy fold and idk how to connect it via USB! It only connects wirelessly. I only installed the desktop app for windows 10 and then the app on my phone like their website said.
I am using this and a big thumbsup for you
Getsum Muhammad.
I have a question, u use the full version right?
No this video was made when it was not needed to buy it.
hello scott. I have bought the software and it runs perfectly through usb. however when im connected through osb ivcam randomly disconnects it seems about after 5 or maybe 10 minutes it just disconnects for some reason. Any idea whats going on?
Zach. I honestly don't know but if you're paying for their software hit them up for service. You deserve their attention and fast.
Scott, just discovered this video and am so glad to have done so! Fixed my lag that developed with the most recent ivcam update! Quick question, I have turned off the auto focus and auto exposure, but every once and a while it seems like the camera is still trying to auto focus. The depth of field changed and I get a wibbly wobbly timey wimey effect where it almost zooms in slightly. I"m using ivCam on an android and connecting via usb to a Toshiba Laptop. I am not using OBS but broadcasting directly with Streamyard. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
What's the make and model of your camera? This is 100% a camera issue and in my estimation has nothing to do with iVCam.
@@ScottFichter hello kid, my face look ugly on webcam, can you make my face shape not ugly using AI ?
answer right now
This was helpful, thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Im using IV cam too for livestream and we prefer to connect it wireless. But its lagging and freezing so much, what do you think would be the possible problems?? Is it the internet connection or I need to lower the FPS??
Wireless, sucks. Use USB for no to little lag.
You and Peter Von Panda are the tech savvy, cheesy-but-cool uncles I never had.
Ok, now you have me wanting to check out the Peter Von Panda channel! Ha! Have you checked out the Nutty channel yet?
@@ScottFichter Not yet, but I'll check it out right now, Uncle Scott. Stay safe!
Thank you for this vid
Welcome
Amazing!
Thank you! Cheers!
LOL @ the Three's Company reference
HA!
dude you helped me out greatly you can use this method with rtx broadcast and it has good results
Glad I could help
Awesome! My cell phone is up and running as a webcam but how do I stop people from calling in and breaking a live feed?
HA! That reminds me when I was flying my drone. My iPhone was being used to fly it and then I got a call. I answered it. HA Put it in airplane mode.
@@ScottFichter haha yeah that would be bad flying a drone. Ok awesome I will do that. Thanks for the quick reply. I've learned a ton from your channel in 2 days. Now I'm working on streaming to facebook and youtube at the same time so hopefully you have a video on that, haha. Your OBS man!
Hi, Do you know how to get that work at real 60fps? I need 60fps but i can't figure out how to get that, Thank you
I've never tried it for fear of creating too much lag. It's pushing the limits of the tech in my opinion but I could be wrong.
60fps works great as long as you use a USB connection and don't rely on wifi
Hey, how to fix the bug "Attempt to connect to host timed out" ?
I'm pretty sure this one is in the FAQ at their site.
Wow this is a nice Webcam app. Looks better then DroidCam
I've never tried it. I only have iPhones at my house. I need a android bad. There are many apps that I want to test with it.
What if the studio is bigger... Assume it is for a stage, so the distance between obs and phone are 20 meters apart... Still no latency? What usb cable can we use?
Is WIFI a possibility? They do make 100 foot USB cables at Amazon but I've never tested it.
How's it compared to DroidCam OBS. And thanks for the hot key idea with same combination. Reduces a lots of Mistakes
When using any cameras, can I still view each camera through OBS before turning it on for broadcast?
Two camera preview at the same time before switching the views over to the live? The answer is yes!
Good talk, nice one
Appreciated
how can i set this to connect with the usb only? idk why automatically connect via wifi
Try turning off the WIFI on your pc or Phone and than if you are using IOS make sure you hot itunes open and for android make sure you have the right driver (DeX for example)
Thx Rene.
Cool video Scott, but i'm on mac so i use a plugin called "iOS Camera Plugin for OBS Studio"" its for windows and mac, works well, have a great week my friend ✌️👍
Andy, there will be a day when I have a functioning Mac and PC and I will provide solutions for both systems. This will also hold true for both Android and iPhone. As it stands for now i'm exclusive with PC. Thanks for the tip.
Thank you so much 😤👌🏾, kind sir!!!
Are you using iPhone for this webcam sir?
In the trial version, the software window is displaying 1080p 60fps just fine but OBS and NVBroadcaster are only picking up 25fps 640x480 will they be able to see the full framerate and resolution in the permanent licence?
Rogue, I have no idea. I never purchased the licensed version. Hit support up with that question.
@@ScottFichter ok no problem. Unfortunately though there support only responds to those who have purchased a licence and also I've heard reports that they are still very unresponsive so I think I'll just give it a pass.
Thanks for the video
Is this better than iriun?
NO! iVcam sucks now. Continue with iriun. iVcam got greedy and started charging too much.
Love it!
Thanks! Gigi!
If you pay for the iVCam software on your PC it works with multiple cell phones. No need to pay on both ends. If you pay for the cell phone app, it is only good for that phone.
Thank you Dave!
Thank you for your service 🙏
Just An Alt you're one heck of a good person to spend the time thanking me. I really appreciate it. Best wishes to you.
Do you prefer iv cam over NDI?
Yes, LUTY. There is another free alternative that's been discussed here. It' called iRiun iriun.com/ check it out.
@@ScottFichter Thanks.
Another superb video, thanks for making it - do you happen to know how many IVcams can be connected to OBS at any one time, I was hoping to connect 3.
Hey les, I've done three. You might get four. Wow! That would actually be a great video.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks so much. but sir, pls can I go wireless with it?
I've been playing with OBS and iVCam for our church livestream. I've got it figured out with two instances of IVCam for two Android phone video inputs through USB, but I'm having a big problem with audio. I want to use the phones' mic for the audio input source but OBS does not give me that option. It gives me Desktop Audio or Mic/Aux. Any advice? Thanks.
Did you do this? www.e2esoft.com/ivcam-broadcasting/ The audio will come in as desktop audio.
@@ScottFichter I just now did that, thanks. Bottom line is now I've installed so many different things and have gotten lost in the settings that I don't know which end is up (and I hope I haven't changed anything important to the basic operations of my laptop!). I tried to make a recording but all I can hear during playback is the trial version (yes I will buy it if this means it's working) and not my own voice - totally silent except for the trial version repeat. If that's the way it's supposed to be in order to show that audio is being recorded through the phones I'll buy it... if not then I think I'm just going to give up and stick with livestreaming to Facebook with just one phone like we've done for the past year.
good vid
Can iVCam capture audio through your phone as well?
I think the answer is...... yes but I have to warn you it'll sound pretty bad and that's not so good. Best wishes.
Most valuable it
Once I put my footage from ivcam into obs on the save playback video the audio for that video keeps saying trial version over and over how can I make this go away the footage was ruined because of the audio kept repeating trial version in a lady's voice it was the windows lady
It's a trial. It's only 10 bucks.
8:29 that may be the antivirus... it used to happen to me
It’s been a while since I found this video and have a question. Is there any program that will change your cameras smoothly with the key of a keyboard? Like on any program like: Skype discord or etc
OBS Will provide you a fade from one scene to the next. Will that work?
@@ScottFichter exactly what I need “ a fade” the thing is that will it work on any program that uses my cameras ?
@@ScottFichter also if so, do you have any tutorial ?
Use the OBS output as a webcam input for those other programs.. search for obs webcam, I think..
Which one works with windows? In Microsoft store there is no ivcam
7:45 hehe booiii
like
Using a Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Single USB-C port is used by external mic. Am I out of luck creating a USB connection to OSB Studio? Any options at all for steaming video / sound 720p or higher?
Paul you're gonna have to spend some money. Buy a C922. webcam www.amazon.com/shop/scottfichter?listId=18V9DTP218TA0
Is it safe to use will I not get hacked ?
How long can I use the non premium IvCam? Thank you.
About three days estimated. It's only 10 bucks. It's worth every penny.
I tried. Approximately 4 hours screen time.
What do you do when your face cam is lagging in your recordings
Lag is a tough one because there are several issues that can cause it. One is to make sure you not using wifi or NDI. Then lower you bit rate in OBS. Also lower you screen resolution in OBS. I need to make a video about the issue. Thanks for reminding me.
My ivcam won't open on my laptop. It runs it for like couple of seconds and shows up on my phone then closes on my laptop and stops connecting to my phone
Is this better/worse/same as EpocCam? I’ve used NDI cam and also NDI HX. They seem to consistently freeze on me. Epoch is better, but also will randomly freeze. Anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour.
mgbspeed, actually I'm not sure. I have heard of EpocCam. The key is to use USB not Wifi.
Hi how do u Connect a mix to obs the sound
cant even get it to connect to my phone. tryed so many different things but with no luck what so ever. reading some of the feedback wont work for a lot of people unless they pay for it and even then they have had trouble
what is the camera you are using to record this video, please?
Hey Moe, It's a camcorder. It's called a Sony FDR Ax53. This thing is a unit!
@@ScottFichter Thanks. I appreciate it. Your video is super High quality and I tried to do that using the IPhone camera but it still limits to using inly 2 MP from the camera so 1920X 1080 on the phone which even gets lesser on the desktop screen
Only problem I'm having is I can't use my front camera, face-cam works but my front camera looks WAY better. When I try switching to my front cam IVCam disconnects. That and, when I am using my face cam it constalntly disconnects and reconnects.
Can audio too be captured from the mobile phone mic while capturing video?
I believe so but I would not recommend it.
thank you very much thi swas verry helpful im vbery happy that you thgought me how uds eica,m edim son magguy rigjt nown thanks ouyyyou
Hi Scott, iv cam can use external mic with obs? I tried using droid cam. Nothing happen.
HI, mi pogram is not working, when i install it, it does not open, i have been trying this a lot, someone know what to do please?
I even bought the software, however the lag is very large, even using the cable, it gets very slow, bigger qualities like full HD and 4K, is there another way to reduce it?
Celio, I've never un into the lag issue so I'm not gonna be of help. In order for me to fix a problem I need to be able to recreate it here. I can't I have no lag except when I turn up the resolutions to extreme levels. This is what the site says about it. Use lower video quality, smaller video size or frame rate, and be closer to your Wi-Fi router;
Select HEVC video encoder in app settings if it's supported by your phone;
You should have a high-performance Wi-Fi router if you're using W-Fi for connection;
It is strongly recommended that the PC be connected to the router with a network cable. If you are using WiFi, restart your PC and try again;
iVCam is real-time video streaming and requires high-performance network, maybe the lagging was caused by your router (especially when video lags at regular intervals), and sometimes a reboot for the router will help;
Connecting via USB cable or enable hardware decoding in PC client software will also help (if the graphics card supports).
Hello.
having a license to use for life, if I change my PC, I have to pay for a new license?
Hi, I am using it on my 2700x streaming dedicated pc. I bought the app. But when I add it as video source, I start skipping frames.
Hi scott. I tried 3 different androids...samsung s5, a3, sony experia, and neither would connect with usb cable.
Got the s5 to connect but after 5 mins it disconnected never to work again.
They all work wirelessly but i need to connect one with a cable as its a cat room cam and need the latency issues to go away. Can u help me pretty please? Also does this work in streamlabs obs please? Xoxo 😍😍😍
Any luck with the Wifi method?
@@ScottFichter Thanks for getting back to me...yeah wifi is grand 😎😎
@@Catsanddogshavefun Is the latency manageable? What video size did you land on? How did it work out?
@@ScottFichter the latency os not manageable as when a cat movea to quickly it just a blur over wifi but just normal phone video is fine. Needs usb connection to stop this. I am not recording jist bringing feed into obs to live stream game i am playong. I can send u a lonk if it would help explain what i need to achieve ? 😍😎😆 thanks again
You need to enable 'Developer mode' on Android, then flip on USB Debug mode in developer settings.
sorry to bother you so late in your youtube videos life time but iv cam dosent seem to be working for me anymore, it just stopped connecting to my pc at some point and im unable to find a way around. my applications are fully updated too!
wow nice, but the lag occurs during transmision. 2 secs of delay , in wifi sets. usb settong prevents tha transmision lagging? or just monitoring lag?
Eduardo, are you saying your getting 2 seconds of lag with a USB connection?
@@ScottFichter no. Just over WiFi. But the thing is, when cell cam is plugged and monitor viewing gone good, looks and feel great even over wifi, but the issue is over the transmission, it sees delayed over 2 seconds. My question was about if you use a usb link to ivcam it prevents the live stream lag? Because just for monitoring works great
@@EduardoSanMartinp Yes, in most cases the USB wire will transmit the data MUCH faster. The only downside is that the camera is connected to the wire and if you're looking for a wide show you'll need a long USB cable.
USB, no lag. WiFi 1~2 sec lag.
Hi, when I create a scene then I add a webcam in it it’s ok webcam good, but when I press the record button the webcam is gone hide, please help me
Study, my best guess is to install the most current driver package from Logitech's website (assuming your web cam is a logitech camera), and then adjust your video capture source's properties in OBS.
@@ScottFichter I have installed the Logitech driver as well, surely my webcam is Logitech c920, the only issue is when I press the record button then then webcam gone hide, I cannot see myself on.
help me i cant see me in pc iv cam but connected
Hey, have you figure it out if it is possible to switch front cameras?
Are you asking me if it's possible to switch to the other camera on your phone. I think this is yes.
I use ivcam when I go live on a certain site and I do music through a focusrite 2i2 and usb that through my computer. When ever I talk to someone, one on one I can hear my audio feed back at me through the phone and the headphones I have plugged in. Is there any fix to cut my audio out, so I can just hear it on my headphones and still here the other person talk. Is there a way to shut audio out of ivcam and just have it on my headphones
Ben this is a KILLER question. I used to deal with this all the time. Then I discovered a program called VoiceMEETER Banana. Yes, the name is funky but the software is 100% and it's SUPER popular. What it does is allow you to reroute audio. In other words you can turn off you speakers and channel the audio into your headphones. Here's a link to the site www.vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/banana.htm
Thanks for this, very well put together. Could you work out a banana voicemeter setup please?
I will and believe me when I tell you I understand your frustration with the software. It is DAMN confusing. I use Banana. I love your channel image man.
What is banana and what does it do with VoiceMeeter?
Is It better than EpocCam? That app didn’t work for me! I downloaded this app but not on my computer yet cause I have to get to bed! I’ll try it tomorrow
I'm not sure but I will look into it.
I really need to a phone-PC WIFI connection with audio from the phone, as my subject is too far from PC. Any recommendations for best transmission. I currently get tons of skip in audio and delay in video. Currently I set the video on 640x350 30fpm quality high. Should I set everything as low as possible? Or should I look at a different app for doing this?
WIFI sucks. If that's what you have that's what you'll have to use. WIFI is problematic. Video needs a big pipe. Wifi is not the best. It's not an issue of software it's WIFI.
@@ScottFichter ok thanks for the clarity.
@@sharonhigginbotham3945I apologize for the street language. I was in a mood yesterday.
Problem I has it that OBS only runs the phone at 25fps, whereas the phone is set to 60fps, and it actually runs 60fps when I use it outsideOBS. Any suggestions?
Connecting via NDI into VMix over wifi with iphone. Quality of video is terrible. What adapters are best to connect iphone (lightning) to Ethernet and get best transfer speed? Not using audio so more interested in display quality
Using USB has great bandwidth to allow for very low delays.
@@ScottFichter Scott thanks for that. Have seen Belkin make an Ethernet adapter to lightning so was wondering if the all in one is just as good.
@@ScottFichter Hey Scott Sorry what adapters do i need to connect my iPhone 8 so I am not using WiFi ? Is it a lightning to Ethernet adapter ?
Does capture card work with phone camera?
TJ, I'm honestly not sure.

Ok, here's a recurring problem ... my phone gets hot with use of the IVCam, and I also have connectivity issues between the phone and the desktop. I've troubleshot the wifi issues, and I use a USB cable. How do i get around this without have to reboot my computer all the time?

Hey @ScottFichter which web camera do you use ?
Hey Manarat,I grew up shooting hundreds of hours of video with camcorders all my life. This is why I went with the Sony FDR-AX53. It's the best camcorder I have ever owned. The tech is incredible. Analog stabilization, 4K, amazing zoom, and it has incredible audio. It's not that cheap at just under 1,000 bucks.
when i try and download it, it says please install latest verison and when i click ok it takes me to the website and there is nothing to click on there
Hmmm... Thanks Cole. I'll take a look at it.
Any idea how to sort out the 'Waiting for IVCam Connection' even though my phone is connected
Google this "windows waiting for connection USB"
