See what happens when you’re not watching. Technicam turns your iPhone into an intelligent observation camera built for monitoring a scene, detecting activity and capturing the moments that are easy to miss. Point it at the sky, a distant horizon, your garden or any fixed scene. Technicam can watch continuously, react to movement and build a record of what happened. FOUR WAYS TO CAPTURE VIDEO Record directly with quick access to the camera controls you need. MOTION DETECTION Arm Technicam and let it watch for you. When meaningful movement appears, Technicam can automatically capture the event. Choose scene profiles for different conditions, then fine-tune sensitivity, focus, exposure and advanced detection controls when you need more precision. SLOW SHUTTER Go beyond ordinary frames. Slow Shutter combines information across time to reveal light trails, movement and details that a normal photo may miss. Different processing modes create genuinely different results, from visible motion trails to cleaner low-light observations. TIME LAPSE Compress a long observation session into something you can review in moments, with flexible capture controls for different subjects and conditions. BUILT FOR OBSERVATION β€’ Automatic motion-triggered capture β€’ Day, night, sky and custom detection profiles β€’ Manual focus, shutter and ISO controls where supported β€’ Motion tracking and detection regions β€’ Ignore areas to reduce unwanted triggers β€’ Slow Shutter processing modes β€’ Time Lapse controls β€’ Capture Log for reviewing events β€’ Event previews, notes and classifications β€’ Motion-trail images β€’ Reports and export tools β€’ Video and audio capture where available β€’ Location information for captured events when enabled β€’ Tools designed for fixed-scene and night observation SIMPLE ON THE SURFACE. POWERFUL UNDERNEATH. Technicam 2.0 has been redesigned around a camera-first interface. Swipe between Video, Motion Detection, Slow Shutter and Time Lapse. The large central control always performs the action that makes sense for the selected mode, while contextual settings stay close by without hiding the live preview. No complicated control center. No need to understand every advanced setting before you begin. START FREE Technicam can be used for free. The Free version includes all four main capture modes, essential controls and up to 10 active events in the Capture Log. Delete older events whenever you need space to continue capturing. Free exports include Technicam branding. TRY TECHNICAM PRO When you’re ready, you can choose to start a 7-day Technicam Pro Preview. The Preview unlocks the complete feature set and unlimited Capture Log events for seven days. It does not start automatically and does not turn into a paid subscription. After the Preview, simply continue using Technicam Free or unlock Technicam Pro permanently. TECHNICAM PRO Technicam Pro is a one-time purchase. Pro unlocks unlimited events, clean exports without watermarks and the full set of advanced capture, detection, camera and processing controls. No subscription. Whether you are watching a night sky, studying movement across a scene or simply trying to capture what happens while you are away, Technicam is designed to keep watching.

About

Interval Pro

Read full description

The iPhone's timelapse mode controls nothing. DSLR workflows control everything, but weigh a ton. Interval puts full control in a simple app. LOCKABLE MANUAL CONTROLS ISO, shutter speed, white balance and focus: leave each setting on auto, dial it in by hand, or lock it on the current reading. That lock is what removes flicker, the flaw that gives away amateur timelapses. THE INTERVAL CALCULATOR Give it the length of your event, the video length you want and the frame rate: Interval computes the interval and tells you the photo count, the storage and the battery you need before you even start. No more session ruined by poor planning. STABILIZED HYPERLAPSE Set a target point on your subject, walk, realign the ghost frame of the previous photo, shoot. At export, the analysis aligns every photo and smooths the path. Fluid results, no rig, no tripod. BUILT FOR LONG SESSIONS The screen genuinely lowers its brightness while capturing to save battery. The app pauses by itself if the iPhone gets too hot, then resumes. An incoming call no longer ruins anything: the session picks up exactly where it stopped, locked settings included. PRECISE FRAMING Native 4:3, 16:9, 3:2 or square, with a guide showing exactly what the video will contain. Rule of thirds mapped to your chosen frame, and a horizon line to set the phone up straight. YOUR PHOTOS STAY YOURS Every session keeps its full-quality HEIC photos. Re-export in 1080p or 4K, at 24, 25, 30 or 60 frames per second, as many times as you like. Nothing is thrown away. NO DATA COLLECTED No account, no server, no trackers. Your photos and videos never leave your iPhone. That is not a marketing promise: the app has nowhere to send anything. ONE PRICE, EVERYTHING, FOREVER The app is free with all manual controls, 1080p export and three full-quality exports to try everything. A one-time purchase unlocks 4K, removes the watermark and lifts the export limit. For good. Never a subscription. Built by a photographer who actually uses it in the field.
