TachoCamera turns your iPhone into a professional stroboscopic tachometer — no additional hardware required. Point the camera at any rotating or moving object, tune the frequency, and when the motion appears frozen — you've found the speed. Works equally well for rotating parts (motors, fans, turbines, pulleys) and for linear or repetitive motion (conveyor belts, production lines, packaging, printing). KEY FEATURES • Stroboscopic measurement — freeze rotating or moving motion with the camera flash to measure speed with precision • Auto RPM detection — let the app automatically detect rotation speed using the camera • Linear scan detector — measure the speed of objects passing through a detection line, ideal for conveyors and production lines • Machine library — save and organize your machines and components with QR codes for instant access • QR code scanner — scan machine QR codes to load saved settings instantly • Snapshot on save — automatically captures a photo when saving a measurement DESIGNED FOR PROFESSIONALS TachoCamera is built for maintenance engineers, technicians, and production/quality staff who need reliable speed measurement in the field — whether it's a rotating motor or a fast-moving product on a line. PRO SUBSCRIPTION Try Pro free for 7 days — after the trial, a subscription unlocks the app's full features. Subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID account.
