OwlCam transforms your iPhone into a night vision powerhouse. See clearly in total darkness with advanced low-light image enhancement that amplifies every photon your camera captures. Four unique vision modes adapt to any low-light situation. Choose from classic phosphor-green night vision for an iconic look, warm Amber IR for comfort, high-contrast Mono Boost to reveal edge detail, or thermal-style heat mapping to visualize temperature differences. Fine-tune your night vision with the Boost slider. Crank it up to push your sensor's ISO, shutter speed, and software amplification to the limit for maximum light gathering. Every adjustment is applied in real-time to the live preview. Capture the night exactly as you see it. Shoot enhanced photos and videos that preserve the night vision effect. Your enhanced captures are saved to your photo library with full resolution. Pinch to zoom up to 6x, tap the torch for IR assist in complete darkness, flip between front and back cameras, and enable a rule-of-thirds grid to compose perfectly in the dark. It's all the power of a professional night vision system, in your pocket. OwlCam includes a short preview of enhanced night vision. Unlimited low-light modes and capture require OwlCam Pro (in-app purchase / subscription).
