I need to stream the video from the camera to the screen. The problems thus far are two fold:ġ) When the camera is plugged in, iOS recognizes it, but states it is not supported and draws too much power.Ģ) I have been unable to find an app for communicating with a USB camera, in the way I want. I have coworkers that have iPads and iPhones, but they have had hte same problem in trying to get this to work. The iOS device I have for testing is an iPod Touch running iOS 9.3. I have tried iOS and have hit what is a brick wall. For Windows, I used National Instruments Vision software to talk to it (overkill, really, but it was already installed). For Mac / Windows, the cameras come with software, but for Mac, I believe Photobooth works for talking to the cameras. On Android, the cameras use the on-the-go (OTG) protocol to handle the communications, and there was an app that I needed to install (Basic USB Camera works for what I need, at least for testing).

These cameras are readily available from Amazon and the like, and are interpreted as webcams by Android / Mac / Windows. I am working on a project where we would like to use a USB endoscope with Android / Mac / Windows and iOS.
