Using iPhone as Webcam

[dmw16]

I was wondering if anyone here has had success with any particular software to use an iPhone 5 as a webcam in OS X.

I downloaded EpocCam, but couldn't get it to work. The software is installed on my Mac and it shows up as a cam in Skype, but I just see a black screen.

There are some apps that cost a few dollars which is worth it if they work, but didn't want to spend on one till others had confirmed they work.

Thanks.

Several apps, including iWebcamera, Mobiola WebCamera and iPhoneCam, allow you to download an app onto your phone and drivers on your computer to use your iPhone as a webcam for your computer. There are still limitations, such as nonexistent or limited use of the microphone, but if you need a webcam in a pinch, a webcam app can help you connect with programs such as Skype and MSN Messenger.
