Wireless multi-camera for OBS

Every phone is a camera.

Pair iPhones with a QR code, switch between them from your browser, and send every angle into OBS.

Get Started How It Works

Works with

OBS Studio iPhone and Mac WebRTC

Your whole show on one screen.

The control unit shows every phone live, with its tally, controls and health. Open it on the Mac next to OBS or on an iPad.

The VTake control unit with four camera tiles: cam1 live with a red border, cam2 on preview with a green border, each with Take, Go live, Standby, Torch and Zoom controls

Take

Cut any camera to program from its tile. OBS switches with it.

Preview

Line up the next shot. That phone lights green so its operator gets ready.

Control

Go live, standby, torch, flip and zoom, sent straight to the phone.

Cut between cameras. Watch the phones follow.

When you take a camera, its phone shows a red border. The next one shows green. Try it here.

Click a camera to take it live. Red is on air, green is next.

From the phone in your hand to the program feed.

Each phone streams to a small media hub on your computer. OBS pulls every camera from the hub as its own source.

  3. In OBS Studio

    One source per camera

    A Browser Source for the lowest delay, or a Media Source when the Wi-Fi is busy.

  4. Back to the phones

    Tally

    When you cut in OBS, the phone on air lights red and the next one lights green.

    obs-websocket

The control unit is a web page served from your Mac. Open it on the Mac or an iPad to add cameras and send commands to any phone.

Run every camera without walking to it.

Tally on every phone

A red border means you’re on air. Green means you’re next. Whoever holds the phone always knows when to hold the shot.

Pair with a QR code

Each new camera gets its own code. Scan it and the phone is connected.

Zoom, torch and lens

Change them from the control unit. The phone reports back, so the controls always match.

Presets

Save a camera’s look and bring it back in one click. The lens is set first, then zoom, then torch, so the shot lands the same way every time.

Screen off, still streaming

Standby turns the display off and keeps the stream going. It saves battery and heat on a phone that sits on a tripod all day.

Health for each camera

Frame rate, bitrate and heat on every camera’s tile, so you spot a hot phone early.

Latency

Fast enough to cut live.

Measured from the camera lens to the OBS preview on a local network. Use WebRTC for speed and SRT when the Wi-Fi is crowded.
