iCameraPlus turns any old iPhone into a powerful security camera โ€” no extra hardware needed. Mount a spare iPhone, press REC, and keep an eye on what matters from anywhere. WATCH LIVE FROM ANYWHERE See your camera in real time from any web browser. No extra app needed on the viewing device โ€” just sign in to your private panel. REMOTE CONTROL Start or stop recording, switch between front and back camera, and change quality or clip length right from the web โ€” even while you're away from the phone. RECORDING LOCK (NEW) While recording, the screen locks itself against stray or ghost touches โ€” a pocket tap can't stop your camera. Hold the lock button for 3 seconds to unlock; it relocks automatically after 10 seconds. FLEXIBLE PLANS โ€” UP TO 2.4 TB Choose what fits you: 2, 4, 6, or 8 cameras with 600 GB, 1.2 TB, 1.8 TB, or 2.4 TB of private cloud storage. Upgrade or downgrade anytime โ€” the change is prorated automatically. CONTINUOUS RECORDING Records in back-to-back clips so nothing is missed. When storage fills up, the oldest clips are removed automatically to make room for new footage. SECURE PRIVATE CLOUD Recordings are uploaded to your own private cloud over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection and kept in your personal archive. Browse and play them from any browser. HIGH-QUALITY VIDEO H.264 video with AAC audio. Choose 480p, 720p, or 1080p. A timestamp and camera name are stamped onto every frame. BATTERY-FRIENDLY Keep the iPhone plugged in with the app open; the screen dims automatically while recording to save power. (iOS requires the app to stay open for the camera to record.) FLEXIBLE CLIPS Set clip length from 2 to 30 minutes. Browse, play, and delete recordings right inside the app. MULTI-LANGUAGE English, Turkish, German, and French โ€” including the permission prompts. PRIVACY FIRST Your video is recorded on your device and uploaded only to your own private archive. Audio is off by default and records only if you enable it. We never store, share, or sell your footage. SUBSCRIPTION - Four auto-renewable yearly plans: iCameraPlus Yearly (2 cameras), 4 Cameras Yearly, 6 Cameras Yearly, and 8 Cameras Yearly โ€” each with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. - The price is shown in the app before you confirm. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. - The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the period. - Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID Account Settings. - If you buy during the free trial, any unused trial time is forfeited.

About

Old Video Camera

Features
Read full description

Old Video Camera turns your phone into an 80s camcorder. The soft, wobbly look of a worn tape is applied while you record, so what you save is already finished. Nothing to edit afterwards. How it works - Point and record. The analog look is written into the file, not added later. - Switch 4:3, 3:4, 1:1, 16:9 and 9:16 with a button. You never have to turn your phone. - Front or rear camera, with a T/W zoom rocker like the old decks had. The look - Colors bleed sideways, the way tape handled color. - Scan lines drift, a tracking band rolls slowly, the bottom edge tears. - Grain sits in the picture, and the sound takes on the narrow, wavering tone of a linear tape track. Date and readouts - Burn the date into the picture, with the time or without it. - Show the REC dot, battery and zoom bar the way a camcorder viewfinder did. - Every control answers with an old mechanical click. Privacy Your video and audio are processed on your device. Your video never leaves the phone unless you save it to your own photo library. Free with ads. A one-time purchase removes the ad shown after recording. Every camera feature is free.
