Can I use the camera with my iPad?

Many of our customers are curious about the compatibility of Opal cameras with iPads. Here's what you need to know about using our cameras with your iPad

๐Ÿ“ท Opal C1 Camera:

The Opal C1 camera can work as a standard USB webcam over UVC when connected to an iPad. However, it's important to note that while it might function, it's not fully supported. This means you may encounter some limitations or issues when using the C1 with an iPad.


๐Ÿธ Opal Tadpole Camera:

The Opal Tadpole is designed with broader compatibility in mind. While it's primarily built for macOS and Windows over USB, it can also be used with the new iPadOS. However, as with the C1, while it might work, it's not fully supported on iPadOS, so there might be some limitations.


๐Ÿ“ฑ iPad App Compatibility:

It's essential to understand that our cameras will only work in iPad apps where developers have added support for external webcams. For instance, you can use our cameras with FaceTime on iPad, but the native iPad camera app will not recognize the external webcam.


In Conclusion:

While our cameras can be connected to iPads, they are optimized for use with macOS and Windows. If you're considering using an Opal camera with your iPad, please be aware of potential limitations and app-specific compatibilities. For any questions or further clarifications, our support team is always here to help. Reach out to us at support@opalcamera.com.
