Camo review: Turn your iPhone into a stunningly capable Mac webcam

<article>
   <section class="page">
<p>Every Mac (other than the Mac Pro and Mac mini) includes a built-in webcam, which Apple calls a FaceTime camera. And every single one, without exception, is total garbage. They top out at a paltry 720p resolution, with the exception of the iMac Pro’s 1080p model. Resolution aside, they produce video that is grainy, blotchy, relentlessly underexposed, and with horrible dynamic range.</p><p>This is weird, because Apple also makes some of the best cameras you can buy on a phone or tablet. The iPhone and iPad’s cameras put not just Apple’s crummy Mac webcams to shame, they outshine any webcam. Even the front-facing iPhone cameras!</p><p>Enter <a href="https://reincubate.com/camo/" rel="nofollow">Camo[/url], a handy utility by <a href="https://reincubate.com/" rel="nofollow">Reincubate[/url] that turns your iPhone into a Mac webcam. It’s not the only method of doing so (https://www.macworld.com/article/3535196/how-to-use-your-iphone-as-a-webcam-for-video-conferencing-and-virtual-meetings.html), but it may be the best. With the steep price of $40 per year, it’ll cost you, but it’s less than buying a new webcam (and because it’s software, it’s not sold out like all the good webcams are).</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3568492/camo-review.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
