App Turns iPhone Into Tethered Webcam (Warning: Windows Only)

By

On the increasingly small off chance your computer doesn’t have it’s own webcam (or you’ve blowtorched it because those aliens from Tau Ceti II were spying on you), German developer Drahtwerk has a clever solution: an app that lets you turn your iPhone into a wifi-tethered webcam.

iWebcamera ($5) includes a pause-mode, two quality options and a “send drivers by e-mail feature,” which is apparently some BS that Windows users need to deal with.

The bad news is that iWebcamera is only for Windows boxes; the good news is it’ll work with any iPhone, even the Original.
