Free to download. 14-day trial, then subscribe for capture, save, measure, and compare. Preview-only without a subscription. ProScope Capture is the companion app for the ProScope T2 USB-C digital microscope — and a capture station for other ProScope models and most UVC-compliant USB microscopes and cameras. Plug a T2 into a USB-C iPad or Mac for live view, stills, and video. Use the T2 Capture and Freeze buttons, or capture from the screen. The same USB path works with class-compliant UVC cameras: if iPadOS or macOS shows the device as a normal video camera, ProScope Capture can use it. Also works with ProScope T1 (Wi‑Fi), ProScope Mobile, V2, EDU, and the HR / HR2 / HR5 family. Built-in cameras are available for supporting photos. On iPhone, USB cameras are not supported (Apple limitation). For ProScope T1, join the scope All-Light Wi‑Fi network in Settings, then open Capture. For ProScope T2 and other USB / UVC cameras, use a USB-C iPad or Mac. Calibration and measurement tools are available on macOS. The interface is optimized for landscape so hardware and controls stay consistent while you work. PROSCOPE T2 (iPad and Mac) • Plug the T2 into a USB-C port (cable on the bottom of the handle). • Select ProScope T2 as the camera, then capture stills and record video. • Use the hardware Capture and Freeze buttons, or the on-screen controls. • The app starts on No Camera and does not turn on a built-in webcam until you choose a source. It remembers your last camera and restores a connected T2. UVC USB MICROSCOPES AND CAMERAS (iPad and Mac) • Works with most UVC-compliant USB microscopes and webcams that appear as a standard video device. • Choose the camera in the picker, set resolution when the device reports more than one mode, then capture stills and record video. • Performance depends on the camera hardware and OS version. If the system does not list the device, Capture cannot use it. CAPTURE & SAVE • Choose your camera and resolution, then capture stills and record video. • Save to your Photos library and choose an album (or the main library). On Mac you can also save to a folder. • Use the Recent strip to open captures quickly during a session. OTHER PROSCOPE HARDWARE • ProScope T1 Wi‑Fi: join All-Light, then connect on iPhone or Mac. • ProScope Mobile / AirMicro: Wi‑Fi live view where supported. • USB HR, HR2, HR5, M3, V2, and EDU on iPad and Mac. MEASURE & DOCUMENT (macOS) • Calibrate with a known reference at your current magnification. • Draw measurements on still images and export PNG files with overlays. • Add labels and keep layouts clear for study guides and lab notes. COMPARE (iPhone, iPad, and Mac) • Compare two still images side by side or stacked, from Photos, Recents, and on iPad or Mac, Files, with optional notes where supported. SUBSCRIPTION • New users receive a 14-day full-feature trial. • After the trial, a subscription is required to continue full capture, saving, measurement, and comparison features. • Without a subscription, the app runs in preview-only mode (see in-app messaging for current details). ORIENTATION • The app is intended for landscape use to match ProScope and USB camera workflows.

About

PeekScope

Read full description

PeekScope is a camera viewer for iPhone and iPad. Use it with a compatible local Wi-Fi camera, or connect a USB Video Class (UVC) camera to a supported USB-C iPad. WI-FI ON IPHONE AND IPAD Join the camera's Wi-Fi network and enter its local IP address or exact HTTP or HTTPS JPEG/MJPEG stream URL. PeekScope tries common stream paths when you enter only an IP address. You can also scan a QR code that contains the stream address. A Wi-Fi password or manufacturer pairing code alone does not provide a video stream. USB ON SUPPORTED IPADS Connect a compatible UVC camera to a supported USB-C iPad. Generic USB camera capture is not available in PeekScope on iPhone. USB compatibility varies with the camera, cable, hub, video format, and power supply. VIEW AND CAPTURE • Watch a live view with rotate, mirror, zoom, freeze, and fill/fit controls. • Save photos for free to a PeekScope album in Photos. • Unlock video recording for both camera modes with one non-consumable purchase. There is no subscription. • Browse, share, and delete your captures in the built-in gallery. • In USB mode, choose from the video formats your camera reports. Free USB viewing is limited to standard definition; one rewarded ad can unlock higher resolutions and hide banners for 24 hours. COMPATIBILITY PeekScope needs iOS or iPadOS 17 or later. Wi-Fi mode works only with cameras that expose a reachable local JPEG snapshot or MJPEG stream. Direct Bluetooth video, RTSP, HLS, and proprietary pairing protocols are not supported. An external camera is sold separately, and compatibility is not guaranteed for every camera model. PRIVACY The camera feed and captures stay on your device; PeekScope does not upload them to AGM Apps. The built-in camera is used only if you choose to scan a QR code. Third-party ad services may process device and network information to provide and measure ads, subject to your choices and our Privacy Policy. Need help?
