I am searching for a wifi or bluetooth camera that can be controlled with an iPhone using an app that I will create. I mean I want a programmable camera for iPhone, is this camera exist ?
If you have any info or a product please provide a link.
You could buy a Raspberry Pi with a camera module and build one yourself :)! You could then connect it via Wifi. There are plenty of resources out there, so just Google it.

I have one requirement in my iOS app.
1:- Can we use external camera to capture and Record Videos in my App.
2:- I am sure its not possible connecting external camera through USB without MFi License.
3:- So i want to go for Wifi option.
Please Comments.Any Library and reference would be really helpful.
I owned a Sony QX-100 and had been playing around with their Camera Remote APIs ( https://developer.sony.com/develop/cameras/ ), a functional example is included and you may reference from it.
Is it possible to connect external wired USB Webcam to ios device lighting connector? I want to connect USB Webcam to IOS Device.
It maybe possible because there is an example.
But, I don't know It is truely possible.
It must be only wired connection, not wifi beacuse battery problem.
Thank you.
Yes, it's possible. There are a few ways to do it:
1) Using a jailbreak iPhone with IOKIT to support control and receiving streaming video from the webcam.
2) Develop a MFI complied lightning cable to connect

today a SmartEyrGlass arrived at the office and I am having trouble connecting it to the wifi to take pictures.
The manual just says:
Turn on wireless LAN on your smartphone.
And in the settings off the glass it only displays the MAC address of the device.
I looked online for a full manual, but I couldn't find any.
What do I need to do to take pictures?
It will automatically connect over wireless LAN when you start the Camera application.
For connection, initial pairing over bluetooth is enough. Device will switch to WLAN automatically when application needs it.
Start Camera and you will see it is starting to connect.
I am new to iPhone dev't and I am going to work on a project where I have to develop a bluetooth enabled iPhone app to control a vehicle stereo, and DVD player. The vehicle has a physical remote control (IR) and the aim of this project is to replace the IR with a bluetooth enabled iPhone app to control the functions that the IR does. Play, stop, next,previous etc...
The hardware can communicate with AVRCP 1.4 . I don't know every detail but that is what I know.
What knowledge do I need to implement the application?
Thank you.
AVRCP is a Bluetooth 2.1 profile, so you will need to go through the MFI program - even then, if your are not the manufacturer for the audio unit you will probably not be able to get the solution certified as you won't be able to get the Apple chip added to the device.
To clarify my answer - According to this document iOS has support for AVRCP, in conjunction with A2DP to allow external devices (such as a car stereo) to play/pause/skip tracks being played by the iOS device. Controlling an external device from your iOS device is not available to an app
I'm using the ImageCaptureCore framework to control a DSLR camera connected via USB in a Cocoa application. Now I'd like to do the same on iOS (camera connected to an iPad via a "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter") and wondered which framework to use.
I'm not going to submit the App to the AppStore, so using a private framework is totally fine.
I searched for appropriate headers in iOS-Runtime-Headers, but only found ImageCapture. Any hint in the right direction is most welcome.
As of iOS 13.0+, the ImageCaptureCore framework is available for use on iPadOS to
Discover connected cameras and scanners
View and modify the folders, files, and metadata on a connected camera
Take photos directly on a connected camera using tethered capture
Perform overview scans and scans on a connected scanner
Since there is no framework like ImageCaptureCore on the iOS platform available there are three options I think:
As stated in this question there may be the chance of talking to the device on low level. I don't know if there are any frameworks or standards that work for cameras or taking photos with cameras.
Depending on the camera you want to trigger there also might be the way of connecting your iPhone to the camera via cable to the trigger port of the DSLR. Specifications for the different manufacturer's specifications can be found here.
However I think you don't want just to trigger the camera but to transfer the taken images.
You could use a SD Card with an integrated access-point to connect to and copy the image via a high level protocol.
