The folks over at Ecamm network the creator of iGlasses, one of my most used utilities, have just released a beta of iPhoneCam that allows for users to stream video from their iPhone camera over Wi-Fi to any Mac video application such as iChat, Photo Booth or Skype. Best of all, they have managed to be ble to get the camera to record at stream at up to 30 fps. Not bad for a camera developed as a still capture only device.

How does it work? Well, the iPhone app and the Mac component find each other using Bonjour (zeroconf). There’s absolutely no configuration necessary. If there’s an iPhone-based camera available, the Mac finds it and uses it automatically. Pretty easy stuff!

Currently the app is in early beta and has a couple of flaws. First, it is video only, no audio. So you will still need separate mic. Also, it is a Mac only app at this point (sorry Windows users..isn’t it time to buy a Mac yet?)

Wan’t to give it a whirl? The click here to try it out. Or, you can click here to see brief movie of the app in action
