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 call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: X at none against LiDAR Camera's 4. X also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
