See yourself the way the camera sees you. Camera Monitor turns a second iPhone or iPad into a big live viewfinder for your iPhone camera. Put your phone on a tripod, walk into the frame, and watch yourself on the big screen — adjust your pose, framing and lighting without running back and forth. HOW IT WORKS • Open the app on two devices on the same Wi-Fi (or nearby — direct peer-to-peer works too) • One device is the Camera, the other is the Monitor • The live picture appears on the monitor in a fraction of a second MADE FOR REAL SHOOTS • Low-latency HEVC stream over your local network — no internet, no servers, no accounts • Remote shutter: take photos right from the monitor • Reference overlay: lay a photo over the frame and match a pose or a composition — move, zoom, rotate and mirror it, adjust opacity and contrast, or reduce it to outlines. It never appears in your photos • Full-quality photos (HEIF up to 48 MP or Apple ProRAW where supported) saved to the camera device • Real lens switching: 0.5x / 1x / 2x / telephoto buttons, exactly like the stock Camera • Tap to focus, exposure adjustment, AE/AF lock • Rule-of-thirds grid on both screens • Several monitors can watch one camera at the same time • Optional connection password — the stream stays yours PRIVATE BY DESIGN Video never leaves your local network. Perfect for solo creators, vloggers, dance and fitness videos, interviews, product shots, family portraits — any time the person in front of the camera wants to see the frame.
