The application that turns your iPhone into a real webcam

Mini WebCam

by pripares
FREE in the App Store

Mini WebCam is so close to being an essential app. The free app sends a live video stream out of your iPhone. You can select the quality level and even use your iPhone 4s flashlight. Unfortunately, there is no access to the front camera and the microphone is not used. Those are two big features that are missing. Still, this is one of the best free apps out there for streaming video.

What is it about?
