Videk Director is the command center of the Videk multi-camera system - a professional production suite built entirely from your existing iPhones and iPads. Pair with the free Videk Camera app (installed on any iPhone or iPad you want to use as a camera source), and you have a fully controllable multi-camera studio in your pocket. No dongles, no capture cards, no extra hardware. Just your Apple devices and a Wi-Fi network. CONTROL ALL YOUR CAMERAS FROM ONE DEVICE See every connected camera in a live grid and tap to switch your program source instantly. Monitor all feeds in real time with decoded H.264 video. Choose which camera's microphone is active - or use the Director device's own mic. LIVE OVERLAYS Add text and image overlays to your program output in real time. Import PNGs or animated GIFs from your photo library, drag to position, pinch to scale, rotate freely, and adjust opacity. Overlays persist across sessions so your branded graphics are always ready. SESSION RECORDING - RECORD EVERYTHING, EDIT LATER Record all camera sources simultaneously as individual video tracks. The Director tracks which camera you selected at every moment. After your shoot, review the full multi-track session, change camera selections in the timeline, and export a finished MP4 ā all without leaving the app. LIVE STREAMING VIA RTMP Stream directly to YouTube, Twitch, Instagram, TikTok, or any custom RTMP destination. Choose 720p, 1080p, or 4K output with H.264 or HEVC encoding. Adaptive bitrate keeps your stream stable even as network conditions change. VIDEO COMPOSITING Built-in GPU-accelerated compositor with multiple layout modes: single camera full-screen, side-by-side, or a full multi-camera grid - all with Metal-accelerated rendering and aspect-ratio-preserving letterboxing. ZERO CONFIGURATION NETWORKING Devices discover each other automatically over your local Wi-Fi via Bonjour. No internet required. Your video never leaves your network unless you explicitly stream it out. Share a 6-digit session code with each Camera device and you're live in seconds.

Turn the spare iPhone in your drawer into a 24/7 security camera ā and watch it from your everyday iPhone. iCameraPlus records non-stop on a dedicated phone and uploads every clip to your private cloud archive, so your footage stays safe even if the camera phone is taken or damaged. Watch live, browse the archive and control your cameras with the iCameraPlus app in Viewer mode or from any web browser. HOW 24/7 WORKS ON IPHONE iOS does not let apps record video in the background, so the camera iPhone stays on its charger with iCameraPlus open on screen. Protected Mode ā Apple's built-in Guided Access, set up in about a minute with our step-by-step guide ā keeps the app on screen 24/7 and disables the side button. If recording stops (for example, the app was closed), iCameraPlus tells you and resumes recording when it is opened again. CAMERA MODE ā the phone that records ⢠Continuous loop recording in 480p, 720p or 1080p at 30 fps, with the camera name, date and time on every frame. ⢠Automatic upload to your private cloud over HTTPS. Uploads resume after Wi-Fi drops, and recording continues without internet ā clips upload when the connection returns. ⢠Smart recording adjusts quality and clip length when uploads slow down, the phone gets hot or storage runs low. ⢠Sound is off by default; turn it on only where recording audio is legal. ⢠Guided setup: account, permissions, camera name, a 24/7 checklist and a test recording. VIEWER MODE (NEW) ā your everyday iPhone ⢠All your cameras with status, battery, connection and alerts. ⢠Watch live with one tap. ⢠Start or stop recording and change camera, quality, clip length, brightness, rotation, touch lock, sound and upload network remotely. ⢠Open the recordings archive: timeline, previews, playback and download. A viewer phone never records and never asks for camera or microphone access. WEB PANEL Everything above from any browser at icameraplus.com, plus device details and charts. PLANS ⢠7-day free trial with your account ā no card needed, and it never turns into a paid plan by itself. ⢠Yearly plans for 2, 4, 6 or 8 cameras: 99.99 / 175.99 / 244.99 / 319.99 USD per year (prices vary by country; the app shows your local price before you buy). ⢠Each camera keeps its last 10 days of recordings. Days are pooled across your plan: with fewer active cameras, each keeps more (an 8-camera plan with one camera keeps 80 days). Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; renewal is charged within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings > your name > Subscriptions. PRIVACY Your recordings are stored in your own private account and are visible only to you. iCameraPlus is meant for monitoring your own property: respect other people's privacy and local laws, and never record in private areas such as bathrooms or bedrooms.
