Description

From the listing uploaded by “india-market”.

Documentation at https://andymodla3dvr.blogspot.com The Open Camera Remote app is a modified version of Open Camera. It gives you focus and shutter trigger control remotely over a local WiFi network. You send this app broadcast control messages to operate focus and shutter release using another app, WiFi Remote Capture, install at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andymodla.remotecapture&hl=en You trigger and capture photos and videos nearly simultaneously on local network connected phones running this app. Depending on your local network, the number of phones can range from 253 to 4093 maximum. For security reasons some WiFi routers will block broadcast messages. You may have to set up your own private router that allows broadcast messaging. There is a built-in Web HTTP server you can enable for downloading your photos with a Web browser. It only works with your local network while the camera app is running. In Settings there is a option to turn on the HTTP server and to show the URL of the server as a QR code or text. Information about using the Open Camera app can be found at : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera&hl=en The Open Camera Remote app has Settings under More Camera Controls for photo and video filename suffix and Time/Number format for filename with reset. The suffix string appended to the filename helps you determine from which phone camera a photo was shot. This allows you to merge all the photos from multiple cameras into a single folder for editing. You can capture 3D images by taking sequential left and right eye photos when choosing a Settings option. The filenames will automatically add suffixes _l and _r. View 3D photos by purchasing https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andymodla.apps.vrstereophotoviewer&hl=en (not supported by all phones). This app can be launched from preview thumbnail button if you select the 3D/VR Stereo Photo Viewer. Another feature lets you align the scene you are shooting with your previous photo to help with taking 3D (left/right), composite, or stitched photos when you edit using other apps. The open source code for Open Camera Remote (modified from version 1.46 Open Camera) is available at https://sourceforge.net/u/ajavamind/opencamera/ci/master/tree/ Modifications for Open Camera Remote were added by Andy Modla.

Open Camera Remote APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Open Camera Remote APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 1ecf13e0012c1370796b8e9a795a26f1.
