Record video while your screen stays completely black. InviCam is a stealth camera that turns your screen off the moment you hit record — no glow, no camera interface, nothing visible. Your phone looks like it's off. You're filming. ——— WHY INVICAM? ——— Regular camera apps light up your screen and give you away. InviCam is built for situations where that matters: security footage, candid street photography, meetings, lectures, personal documentation. Whatever the reason — your privacy is the priority. ——— FEATURES ——— • BLACK SCREEN RECORDING Screen goes completely dark when you start recording. Hold your phone naturally, lay it face-down, slip it in a pocket — InviCam keeps capturing. • SILENT SHUTTER No click, no sound, no indication. Take photos without anyone noticing. • FAKE BACKGROUND Display any image or a lock screen while InviCam records in the background. To anyone who glances at your screen — your phone looks completely normal. • PRIVATE ALBUM All recordings are stored in an encrypted vault protected by Face ID or Touch ID. Nothing goes to Camera Roll or iCloud unless you choose to share it. • WIDGET ACCESS Launch recording directly from your home screen — no need to open the app first. ——— PERFECT FOR ——— • Meetings and lectures (no distracting bright screen) • Candid and street photography • Home security and monitoring • Personal documentation • Any situation where a visible camera changes how people behave Privacy by default. Your footage stays on your device, locked by biometrics, until you decide what to do with it.
