A camera for dark places. On an iPhone or iPad with a LiDAR Scanner (and on Face ID devices through the front TrueDepth camera) it shows a depth view that works in total darkness. On any device it brightens the live camera with night-vision style looks and records video with the look applied. THIS IS NOT REAL NIGHT VISION An iPhone has no infrared or thermal sensor an app can use. Thermal, Infrared and Arctic are colour looks, not heat or infrared imaging. Without LiDAR the camera needs some light. WHAT YOU GET • Depth Map (LiDAR or TrueDepth): a colour view of distance, from near to about 5 m, that works in complete darkness • Normal mode on any device: the camera brightened, with 12 looks such as Night Vision, Phosphor, Arctic and Starlight • Video recording with the look applied, with sound (Normal mode), and silent video of the LiDAR and TrueDepth depth views • Distance to the centre of the frame in metres (Pro, LiDAR or TrueDepth only) • Intensity and brightness sliders, flashlight, 1x to 10x zoom, focus lock • Capture Log of your shots, shareable as text FREE AND PRO Free, with ads: 8 looks, 15 photos a day and video recording. Every Pro feature is open for the first 7 days. After that, free exports are limited to 2 saves or shares in total, at half size with a watermark. Pro (subscription or one-time purchase) removes ads and limits and adds 4 more looks, the distance readout, timer, scope overlays, manual ISO and shutter, before/after compare, photo stamp, custom watermark, photo import and a silent mode. GOOD TO KNOW • The LiDAR view needs an iPhone or iPad Pro with a LiDAR Scanner. Depth is low resolution: it shows shapes and distance, not faces or text. • In the depth views a photo is saved as the screen shows it, and the video is silent (no microphone feed). • Works offline. The internet is used only for ads and purchases. Terms of Use: https://masaapps360.com/inightvision/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://masaapps360.com/inightvision/privacy/

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cocoon360 at 5.0 against LiDAR Camera's 4.3. Cocoon360 also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). LiDAR Camera's advantage is review sentiment (25% vs 0%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LiDAR Camera sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Cocoon360 asks for nothing beyond the download.
Cocoon360 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LiDAR Camera has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Cocoon360's written reviews are positive against 25% of LiDAR Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cocoon360 ships an update every 6 weeks, LiDAR Camera fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
