TWO PHONES. MORE FREEDOM.

Be in the shot.
Hold the remote.

One remote. Up to two camera phones. Find your angle, step into the frame and capture photos or video — even without internet.

Start with two apps

iPhone + Android · Wi-Fi, hotspot or internet

MORE CONTROL. MORE POSSIBILITIES.

Your setup. Your way to shoot.

From a group photo to a two-angle video: keep the controls where you are.

Two cameras, one remote

Watch both live previews and use shared photo, start and stop controls. Adjust either camera individually. Scheduled start coordinates recording commands; it does not promise frame-accurate sync. Two cameras need three phones.

Shoot without internet

Connect on the same Wi-Fi network, or create a phone hotspot when there is no router. Local preview, commands and file transfers work without internet. Use internet mode for cameras on different networks.

A live view while recording

Check framing before and during video. Shoot silent video without microphone permission. Hide the camera phone’s preview while it keeps capturing; keep the camera app open.

The controls you need

Pinch to zoom, adjust focus and exposure, switch cameras, use photo flash or a video torch. Choose a 3- or 10-second timer. Portrait and landscape layouts adapt to your phone.

4K and manual exposure

Choose available video resolutions and frame rates, up to 4K, plus photo size. Set ISO and shutter speed manually or return to Auto. Available settings depend on the camera, lens and capture mode.

Formats that fit your devices

Use JPEG photos, or HEIF with compatible iOS cameras and receivers. H.264 and HEVC video choices depend on the iOS camera and receiving device. Unsupported options stay unavailable.

A gallery for every angle

Browse received photos and videos by camera and take. Save copies to Photos, share them, and export a take’s file list. Originals remain on the camera phone; receiving copies is optional.

Reconnect and keep your work

Pair by QR code or link, discover nearby cameras and return to saved pairs. Resume interrupted transfers and recover pending files. A camera can keep recording when the remote disconnects; reconnect to check or stop it.

Update both apps for the latest features. Availability depends on app version, hardware and permissions. Keep Remote Camera open on each camera phone. Hotspot availability depends on the phone and carrier.

NO EXTRA GADGETS

A great shot. Three simple steps.

A tripod, a steady shelf or a table. Everything else is already in your phones.

01 /

Set up your camera

Open Remote Camera on the phone that will capture. Choose your angle and leave the app open.

02 /

Connect your remote

Open Remote Shutter on the other phone. Follow the instructions in the apps to connect them with a QR code.

03 /

Step into the frame

Check the image on your remote. Take a photo or start recording without walking back to the camera.

A ROLE FOR EACH PHONE

Two apps. One shoot.

Install the camera on one phone and the remote on the other. You can mix iPhone and Android.

ON THE PHONE THAT CAPTURES

Remote Camera

Turn your phone into a camera. Leave it in position and control your shoot from the other device.

ON THE PHONE IN YOUR HAND

Remote Shutter

Your frame in view, the shutter at your fingertips. Take photos, start and stop video from your remote.

BEFORE YOUR FIRST SHOT

A few useful details.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. In local mode, connect the devices to the same Wi-Fi or to a phone hotspot. A hotspot replaces the router. Local preview, capture commands and file transfers do not need internet. Premium activation or verification may need a network connection.

Can I lock the camera phone?

Keep Remote Camera open in the foreground. The app keeps the screen awake while it is in use.

Can I mix iPhone and Android?

Yes. Use Remote Camera on the phones that capture and Remote Shutter on the controller. One camera needs two devices; two cameras need three. Update both apps for the latest features.

Where are photos and videos saved?

Originals are saved on the camera phone. You can enable file delivery to the remote separately in the capture settings.

Is a subscription required?

Remote Camera is the free camera companion. Remote Shutter requires Premium. Weekly and yearly plans, local prices and trial eligibility appear before purchase. No app account is required.

Now everyone is in the picture.
