NDICam is the original NDI iOS camera built by NDI broadcast infrastructure developers Sienna, mature and feature rich, uniquely with both Full NDI and NDI HX3 modes.
The NDI (Network Device Interface) protocol connects to professional vision mixers and other devices, and delivers a high quality, low latency connection. NDICam is compatible with VMC, TC1, TriCaster, VMix, Wirecast and dozens of other professional IP video systems which support NDI.
- Simple to use - nothing to configure on your iOS device
- Switch between front and rear cameras during broadcast
- Auto Focus, AF Lock and Tap to Focus
- Auto Exposure, AE Lock and Tap to Expose
- Illumination light on/off
- Audio Mute Control
- Manual Naming of NDI Stream source
- 4 quality / performance levels to suit your device and network, plus NDI HX Option
- Pinch to zoom (where zoom is supported)
- Auto-lens mode for multi-lens cameras
- On screen live / preview tally plus optional use of camera flash as talent tally (with red gel cover).
- Option to prevent iOS device sleep
- Select 25FPS or 29.97FPS standard rate.
- Choice of Full NDI or NDI HX3 compression modes (HX2 at 2 to 20 mBit, plus HX3 Ultra)
- Rotation support for Portrait or Landscape Video Modes.
Front and Rear cameras can be selected at the touch of a button and NDICam features a 4 position quality vs frame rate slider to deliver optimum video suited to the quality of your wifi connection and your iPhone's processing performance. Depending on your iOS device, compression mode selected and Wifi network performance NDICam supports up to 1080 full HD resolution.
Control of flashlight, touch to focus, focus lock, pinch to zoom and audio enable are also included. You can even use the phone's torch as a Tally Light, by covering it with a red gel.
Note: Depending on the performance of your iOS device and your WIFI network, you may not see full frame rates when operating at maximum 1080 resolution with a full HD camera. Using HX3 mode will help if the bottleneck is your WIFI network.
Note: NDI is a high bandwidth protocol designed for local area Gigabit networks. In order to see good results you will need a fast, uncontested wifi connection. If you see slow frame rates, try improving the wifi environment, with a better router, less interference, directional antenna or maybe switch to 5GHz if you are on 2.4GHz. .
NB HX3 Ultra will use around 50mBits of bandwidth, so its lower than full NDI, but still quite high. Use one of the lower bandwidth HX2 modes if your network connection is struggling/
NDICam is also compatible with wired ethernet connections to iOS devices which can help deliver smooth video compared to a poor quality Wifi network. Good results have been seen with lightning to ethernet adaptors.
You can now specify an NDI4 discovery server in the application settings. Note that you will need to restart the app for any changes to take effect. Specifying a discovery server will disable the standard mDNS (Bonjour) advertisement for the NDI Cam source, so your iOS device must be able to reach the discovery server one the network. If you experience problems - delete the Discovery Server entry and restart the app.
NB: NDI HX3 Ultra mode requires a recent NDI 5 compatible receiver.

whitefreeze,
Works with OBS! (Only $10 instead of $20 for NewTek NDI Camera)
It's (currently) half the price of the app that everyone is telling OBS users to get if they want to use their iPhone as a webcam in OBS! The same plug-in works for this app as well.
Just a little heads up.
As for the actual app, I presume it is very similar to the other NDI app I mentioned. It is very network heavy and that can really increase the number of frames dropped. I did turn off the audio feed and the video improved quite a bit. If your 5GHz WiFi signal is strong on your computer and your phone, the video quality can be really good. I wouldn't say "crystal clear," but I was impressed, at least after I got the wifi sorted out.^^

tomwehrle,
App works good in Landscape mode
In portrait mode, some of options you can’t click on. Before I bought this, I wasn’t sure if it would use the wide angle lens, as the app just says it supports multiple lenses. Well, good news, it does support all 3 cameras on the iPhone 12 Pro that I have. I do think a really cool feature would be if you could simultaneously stream all 3 of those camera angles at a time, even 2 would be cool. For a live broadcast, 1 camera would turn into 2!
Anyhow, if you use this app just remember that certain notifications will stop your stream (like a low battery warning), so test/plan accordingly for all possible scenarios and turn off cellular data to prevent a phone call etc.

JohnnyToots,
Incredible NDI App!!!
I have the official NDI Camera app, but the quality and features on this are far superior, and the price is very fair.
One request would be adding 30fps to the settings so it’s the same as my frame rate in OBS.

Dan Tappan,
Worked great for festival livestream
I recently used several iPhones running NDICAM as part of the camera setup for a 3 day festival livestream, using Lightning-Ethernet(PoE) connections. They worked well with only minimal issues.
Please Make This Right!,
Uses wide angle lens on iPhone 14 pro
Please update. If you must default, default to the standard lens. Better yet, let us select from all 3 plus the front cam.
Not a lot of image adjustment features, but *very* low latency. This is the strongest feature and in this regard the best in the business.

HOTHammster,
Works as advertised
No complaints so far. Works on my iPad and iPhone at high resolution. You better have a good WiFi connection though.
Marching Comet,
Bad App+ Update
UPDATE: After getting in touch with Sienna (the company that makes this app) they quickly got in touch with Newtek and their app developer, and even CC me on the email! It turns out the “Newtek NDI Video monitor” is is not compatible with this app which runs NDI 1.x . They do have a newer version of the app that does work, and I was told they will try to schedule an update soon. 5 star customer service experience!
Begin original Review:
All NDI camera apps should be compatible with all other NDI apps because they use the same standard. This app works great with the Sienna monitor app, but fails to work with the Newtek NDI Video monitor app for Mac. Because it doesn’t work with the Newtek app, I’m not sure it would work with the Tricaster TC1 that I operate. I will update this review if anything changes and also try the other app by Newtek. But overall first impressions are not impressive.

Nate88_2004,
Impressively smooth and simple
On my church non-commercial wifi network I have been running NDI cam on my iPhoneX, an iPhone 8 plus, and a iPhone 7 plus all at the same time while streaming through vMix without an issues. I might see a distortion or lag very briefly once or twice in an hour and this is with many people in the church connected to the wifi as well. I have been highly impressed and look forward to more NDI products.
AZ424242,
A good start.
I have been using this with a preview of vMix 17 and it generally works well. If I put the phone into standby mode, I have to shut down the app and restart it before continuing th connection or be able to select it as a source.
This app is a great start, but at the moment pretty rudimentary
A couple of wish list items come to mind for future release:
- Ability to turn an iPhone's light on and off. Currently, if the light is on when you start up NDICamera, it gets turned off.
- Ability to turn off sending audio. No need to eat bandwidth of audio is not necessary
- Ability to select focus and exposure
- Ability to zoom.

DavidBryanSmith,
Didn’t really work for me. Laggy video and poor quality image
I tried this with OBS and got the connection working ok but the quality of the image was awful. I tried all the quality vs speed settings and it just want up to snuff. Unusable video. I’d like a refund please. You really should have offered a trial.
Four months after this review I got a response. No refund or offer of a refund. My “network” was the phone directly plugged into my iMac. This is just crap software. Do not buy. They don’t listen and have crappy support. Can I give less than one star review???
