## What is DarkCam Inconspicuous Camera?

DarkCam is an inconspicuous camera. It is a simple minimalistic app to take pictures in low light environments. DarkCam's low light profile darkens and dampens the screen to your liking.

You can now activate filters that will combine the various parameters of the unique film and sensor simulations as well as creative filters inherited from the Camare Creative Camera app too.

Thanks to your smartphone's screen, taking pictures at concerts, plays, ... often puts you under the spotlight. With DarkCam you are no longer the center of everyone's attention.

The interface is simple with a unique dual trigger-bar and a rapid one-touch full-luminosity preview function to see the real thing briefly and at all times. Dampening and luminosity are readily modifiable at all times (for fast adaptation), and redundant functions are out of the way.

The other spectators will surely thank you for using the app.

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2024-01-20, version 2.6.11*

I think it goes part way there. I want an app that will let me film inconspicuously at concerts. This kind of does that. Only photos tho (which the description says). Wish it did video. Also you still have a big image on the screen which you can darken. Wish it was just postage stamp size and the rest of screen was black. I’ll keep looking but nice try with this one. At lest someone gets that there is a need out there. I don’t need filters or selfie cam functions at a concert. Just video, zoom, postage stamp size.

### 5/5 — Great!!

*2021-04-02, version 2.0*

Awesome app and that it’s free is just mind blowing. Sometimes wanna take a secret picture and it really does the thing. This is as of April 2021

### 5/5 — a must for discretion

*2015-06-23, version 1.0.1*

minimalist and really inconspicuous, the touch to reveal function works great, a must!
