VyxCam
Remote camera for iPhone and iPad

Turn an iPhone into a remote camera and watch it from your iPad

VyxCam links two of your devices with a six digit code. Video travels encrypted and direct between them: no cloud, no accounts, no hidden recording.

What it does

Two devices, one session you start

Pick each device’s role when you open the app. Nothing turns on before you decide.

Low latency live video
Peer-to-peer WebRTC streaming at 720p, negotiated directly between your devices.
Pair by code or QR
A six digit code that expires in five minutes, or a QR to link without typing.
Real remote controls
Switch cameras, zoom, toggle the torch or focus from the viewer device.
Works on your local network
Devices find each other over Bonjour on your Wi-Fi. No server and no account needed.
Built for iPhone and iPad
On iPad the video fills the screen with a side control panel; on iPhone, compact bottom controls.
An indicator you cannot hide
While transmitting, the camera device shows a permanent banner that cannot be dismissed.
How it works

Three steps and you are live

No sign up, no email, no setup.

  1. 01

    Choose each device’s role

    Tap "Use as Camera" on one and "Use as Controller" on the other. The app explains what each one will do first.

  2. 02

    Link with the code

    The camera device shows six digits and a QR. Type or scan them on the viewer and the link is established.

  3. 03

    Watch and control

    Video appears live. Adjust the camera from the viewer; stop everything with one button on the camera.

Controls

What you can do from the viewer

FAQ

Common questions

What people usually ask before installing.

No. The transmitting device shows a permanent banner that cannot be hidden, and a session only starts with a tap on that same device. VyxCam is meant for your own devices, or with the explicit consent of whoever uses them.
