App to View iPhone Cam Live on MacBook? (alien.top)

Hi everyone,

I'm searching for an app that lets me stream what my iPhone 12 Pro's camera is capturing directly to my MacBook Pro. The setup involves mounting the iPhone on a tripod to film downward from an elevated position. I need to monitor what's being recorded live on my MacBook for better control over the shot angles and composition.

Any suggestions for an app would be really helpful.

Many thanks.

I know there’s a feature built into macOS for acquiring images from your phone. No third party apps required. Not sure if it works for video too. Might be worth a try looking around in QuickTime Player… I’m sure there has be something there. If I can stream a live video feed from my phone’s camera to my Watch and you can now use your phone as the camera for FaceTime video calls on an AppleTV then you must be able to do what you’re asking on a MacBook Pro!
