02 / A shared point of view

Less between you
and the shot.

Two roles.
One shared view.

Let one device hold the composition. Use the other to see the frame and control the capture. A local connection gives each role its own space.

One Camera / One Monitor

Frame freely. Control from nearby. Keep your originals on the Camera.

03 / Control from the other side

See your composition.

Monitor the live preview from the connected Camera. Position yourself, adjust the scene and keep the framing in view.

Control the capture.

Trigger photos, start or stop video, switch lenses and adjust zoom, focus and exposure. Available settings depend on the Camera.

Keep your originals.

Captures save on the Camera and are added to its Photos library when permitted. Originals are not automatically sent to Monitor.

04 / Close to the camera

A local connection.
No CamRelay account.

Capture and control connect directly between your devices. CamRelay does not upload your recordings to the operator or a CamRelay server.

Apple Photos, iCloud, backups and anything you choose to share follow your system settings and the services you use.

What do I need?

Two compatible iPhones or iPads. The target minimum is iOS / iPadOS 18. Final device compatibility is still being validated.

Can I download it yet?

CamRelay is in development and device testing. The initial release is planned to be free, with one Camera and one Monitor, without in-app purchases or subscriptions.

Where are my photos and videos?

On the Camera device. If saving to Photos fails, open Settings → Photos & Videos → Recovery Media on that device.

Do I need to sign in to DamnBase?
