HiveSync Camera

Read full description

HiveSync turns multiple iPhones and iPads into one synchronized camera array. With one device acting as the Director and the others acting as Cameras, HiveSync connects nearby Apple devices over the local network and triggers their shutters together for multi-angle captures, action shots, creative portraits, product photography, and bullet-time style photo setups. No cloud server. No complicated hardware. No extra camera rigs. Just the Apple devices you already have. Key Features • Synchronized multi-device photo capture • Director mode to control the whole camera array • Camera mode for nearby receiver devices • Local peer-to-peer connection using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth • Clock sync system for tighter capture timing • Photos saved on each Camera device and copied back to the Director • Slot assignment so each camera has a clear position in the array • Built for creators, filmmakers, photographers, and experimental shoots Short App Store Subtitle Synchronized multi-camera capture App Store Description HiveSync lets you create a synchronized camera array using nearby iPhones and iPads. Set one device as the Director, connect surrounding devices as Cameras, assign each camera to a slot, then trigger the whole array from one control screen. Captured photos are saved on the Camera device that took them and can also be transferred back to the Director device, giving you both local backups and a central shoot collection. HiveSync is designed for creative multi-angle photography, action captures, behind-the-scenes production, product shots, and experimental bullet-time style setups.
