How do I attach an external webcam/camera via USB to the iPhone/iPad and reach the webcam programmatically (get images from it) w/o jailbreaking?

I am pretty certain this was not possible with the former iOS APIs, but maybe with the enhanced external peripherals APIs in iOS 6 it can be done? The question asks for pointers towards how to do this.

[Google gives tons of suggestions and apps of how to use iPads or iPhones as a webcam, but this question concerns how to attach a webcam to an iDevice and use it from within an app]

  • @ohaal Thanks, you are probably correct. However, this question is very concrete about the wanted solution being a standard USB webcam. In addition, the referred-to question was asked over a year ago - in the meantime, iOS 6 have come out, which as mentioned might have changed the situation. – stolsvik Apr 02 '13 at 16:11
  • @stolsvik have you found anything on this... ?? – Mayank Jain Jun 23 '15 at 12:30
