External webcam for ipad?

Is there a way to attach an external camera on an ipad? I've read many posts that were fairly old... And best thing was a Disney camera that only took stills. Most other forums said No, there is no such thing... Is there really no camera on the market that can be attached somehow to Ipad?

I didn’t ask the question, but have the same need. My specific need is that I take piano lessions via camera. I can set up my ipad to see my piano’s keyboard, but then I cant see the screen. It would be much easier if I had an external camera I could train on the keyboard and still be able to use the ipad to 1) see the teachers camera shot of his keyboard, and 2) use the split screen capability to open scores as well. Probably too much to ask for, I know!! But, it would be awesome.

It is possible by Using the iPad Camera Connection Kit.


The info on Using iPad Camera Connector with unsupported USB devices may also be of interest.

Both Skype and FaceTime apps are available for iPad2s.

FaceTime is installed with the iOS.

iPad2 friends using a compatible iOS can Download Skype for iPad from iTunes App Store.

You're most welcome.

While it is true that the camera kit does not connect webcams to iPad, there is no need to do so. iPad2 has two (front and back) built-in webcams without connecting anything.

Do you have another question in this topic?
