Resolume Forum

Hi there!

I'm looking to get live video via Bluetooth or wifi to a Mac. I'm looking for something that shows up as a video input on the Mac, and thus available to use in Resolume.

Video quality is not a priority, although it would be good to have 25+ fps. Bonus points if it's cheap.

I've looked into webcams, surveillance cameras, and dashcams, but haven't found something that seems suitable.

Can you recommend something?

Maybe it's a idea to use a (old) iPhone, there are lots of different apps to use your iPhone as a WebCam. there's also ways to immediately stream it to NDI. And I just found this movie if you have a new iPhone, you don't even need to have a app anymore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVQ2nnd1kKA

But if I look for wireless WebCam Mac, Google give me quit a few options as well
This was the first one that stood out to me, but I have to say I have no experience with it but it looks nice. https://www.obsbot.com/store/products/m ... 1bee87fc54

hope it helps

Thank you for the reply @tijn!

An iphone could be the best option here.

The Obsbot camera is not wireless, as far as i can tell. Google searches for "wireless webcam" yields many results, but if you look at the specs for each camera, all that I've seen are connected models.

Some surveillance cameras tend to be wireless, but they often require special apps to use - and i don't think they would show up as an input on a Mac.

You can also use a product like this Birddog to stream a HDMI source over the network using NDI.
So any machine on the network can pick this HDMI source up. So if you have a camera with HDMI out this box can distribute the signal over the network.

Also these for a little less $$ if you just want to dip your toe in the NDI pond.
