## What is FastCam?

Recording starts the moment you open the app.
The time and map are burned into the video itself, so you can prove when and where it was taken.

Like a dash cam. Like evidence. A camera for moments you can't afford to miss.

■ Instant recording
Open the app and it is already rolling. No button to find.
If a call comes in or you leave the app by accident, the recording is saved automatically.

■ One tap from the Lock Screen (iOS 18 and later)
Put FastCam on a Lock Screen button or in Control Center. One press and you are already recording.
No opening a camera, switching to video mode and looking for the record button. In an accident, those few seconds are everything.

■ A timestamp burned into the video
The current date and time are written into the frames as you record, not a caption added later.
· Choose the font
· Sync real time - matches internet time, so the stamp stays correct even if your device clock is off
· Save GPS location into the video file

■ Hands-free voice commands
Say "Go", "Stop" or "Pause" to start, stop or pause recording.
Set your own command words, and use your AirPods microphone if you prefer.

■ Landscape recording
Turn your phone sideways and the video follows. It records the way you are holding the device, regardless of the rotation lock.

■ Quality on your terms
· 4K / 1080p / 720p at 30 or 60fps
· Codec: H.264 or HEVC
· Stabilization and mirror mode
· Front or rear camera (wide, ultra wide, telephoto)
· Pinch to zoom, plus 0.5x / 1 / 2 / 5 presets like the iOS Camera

■ Change settings while you record
Tap the gear and settings open right over the preview. Adjust the timestamp, quality or voice commands without stopping the recording.

■ A private album only you can open
Keep recordings in the in-app album and lock it with a passcode, or save straight to your Photos library instead.
Videos are grouped by date in a grid, with quality, length and file size on every thumbnail. Select several at once to share, save or delete.

■ Record discreetly
Dim the screen with the screen-off button and keep recording. You can also swipe to adjust brightness.

Use it for
· Car accidents, dashcam footage and road incidents
· Rental handovers - cars, apartments, equipment: condition at pickup and return
· Second-hand sales - proving an item's condition before you ship it
· Deliveries and parcels - damage on arrival, unboxing something valuable
· Construction, repairs and site inspections
· Contracts, consultations and important meetings
· Everyday moments you don't want to lose

■ Your videos never leave your device
FastCam has no server. Everything you record stays on your device. No ads, no tracking. Completely free.

Permissions
· Camera and Microphone (required) - to record video
· Speech Recognition (optional) - voice commands
· Photos (optional) - save to your library, or import into the in-app album
· Location (optional) - record where the video was taken

## Key features

### 5/5 — 시각 단위 설정

*2025-10-12*

정말 심플하고 필요한 기능만 있어서 잘 사용하고있습니다. 다만, 타임스탬프에 초단위 소수점 4자리는 너무 많은것 같아요. 따로 설정할수있으면 좋겠습니다.

### 5/5 — Really great app

*2025-03-29, version 1.2.2*

It’s really great, but is missing to recording at 120 frame

### 4/5 — 타임스탬프 기능 준수, 대신에 제한된 프레임 수

*2025-03-23*

실험결과 기록용으로 잘 쓰고 있습니다
대신에 4k 녹화 시 30fps으로 제한되어서 빠른 움직임이 있을 때 포착하기 힘든 부분이 있네요
지원하는 기기에 대해서는 60fps 이상 프레임 선택이 되면 좋겠습니다
