Real night vision. Real depth. Real sensors. The honest night-vision camera for iPhone & iPad. Four genuine real-sensor capabilities — long-exposure Night Mode, LiDAR depth, TrueDepth IR, magnetometer — plus 19 thermal-style creative filters and 8 tactical HUDs. We tell you what's real and what's a filter, every time. FOUR REAL SENSOR CAPABILITIES • NIGHT MODE — real residual-light amplification via custom AVCaptureDevice exposure (max ISO + 1/8 s shutter). Actually sees more in low light, not just a green tint. Picking "Night Vision" filter auto-engages it. • LIDAR DEPTH — iPhone Pro & iPad Pro. Direct read of the LiDAR scanner via ARKit sceneDepth. Colours map measured distance. • TRUEDEPTH IR — Face ID iPhones & iPad Pro. Repurposes the front infrared dot projector. Genuinely works at 0 lux out to ~1.5 m. • MAGNETIC FIELD METER — live microtesla readings from the device magnetometer. Honest physics — NOT a ghost detector. PRO CAMERA — MANUAL CONTROLS Manual ISO, shutter, and focus distance sliders driving the back camera's custom exposure mode. Pair with the Histogram HUD to monitor luminance. RAW DNG photo capture saves an editable raw negative alongside your filtered JPEG. 19 CREATIVE FILTERS Classic Heat, White Hot, Iron Black, Rainbow, Arctic Blue, Lava, Red, Red/Blue, Neon, Predator, Night Vision, X-Ray, UV Vision, Anaglyph 3D, Glitch, Psychedelic, Blueprint, Matcha, Normal. Metal-shader pipeline; recordable to 4K video. ANAGLYPH 3D Red/cyan stereoscopic split — the frame separates into two colour channels so it reads in depth through 3D glasses. 8 TACTICAL HUD OVERLAYS Reticle, tactical scope with mil-dots, scanner grid, military HUD with live readouts, submarine periscope with magnetic bearing, rifle scope with MAG/FOV from zoom, NV goggles figure-8 viewport, real-time histogram. DUAL CAMERA — RECORD BOTH FEEDS iPhone XS+ captures back + front cameras simultaneously. Main feed runs through your filter; front camera is a draggable, pinch-to-resize PiP. Record the composite or just the main feed. PERSON & FACE DETECTION On-device Apple Vision framework. Colour-coded bounding boxes. Nothing transmitted. HEIGHT METER Aim at the top of your subject, set distance, gyro pitch + trig tells you how tall it is. Live horizon line. FLASHLIGHT Turn it on or off and set the brightness. Pro unlocks a strobe with adjustable speed, an SOS signal, a white or red screen light (red keeps your night vision), and a Control Center control (iOS 18+) plus Siri and Shortcuts.
