About
ISO compensationNo exposure jump when you switch lenses.
In manual exposure, switching to a darker lens used to cost you brightness. Airlive rescales ISO on the switch, so it no longer does.
Same exposure on every lens · example values

Good to know.Asked most often.
What is Airlive Camera?
An iOS app that makes your iPhone a pro camera — record locally, or stream a clean feed to any receiver.
Where can I send the feed?
Airlive Bridge — our free Mac control room — plus OBS, or your own receiver. The protocol's open.
What costs money?
Just one thing: removing the watermark from your live stream — $14.99 one-time. Recordings never carry a watermark. (Early pricing; may change.)
Will it overheat my phone?
It's designed not to throttle, and the battery drains at a normal rate. Runtime depends on your own phone and battery, so we don't promise a number — but nothing here pushes it harder than normal use.
Do I need a capture card or cables?
No. iPhone cameras send a clean feed over Wi-Fi — no capture card, no cables.
Which iPhone models work?
Any iPhone on iOS 17 or newer.
Can I build on the protocol myself?
Yes. The spec, the OBS plugins and example receivers are public on GitHub — read the feed, push camera controls, and wire Airlive into your own receiver or workflow.
Point your iPhone cameras. Go live.
The iPhone app is free on the App Store. The Mac tools and the open protocol are free too — everything you need is below.
