About this app

Turn a spare Android phone into a remote time-lapse camera, including long duration intervals. You select from seconds to hours to match your project.

Mount an old phone, set an interval, and let it go to work. CorvoCam captures locally and keeps capturing with the screen off, so a multi-day job doesn't end because a screen timed out. Frames land on your phone as they're taken — check progress from anywhere with your main phone as the viewer device, change the interval, start and stop the capture remotely.

Screen-off capture needs a phone whose camera supports the advanced engine, with battery optimization turned off for CorvoCam. Some manufacturers add their own battery manager on top of Android, which can still throttle a scheduled capture. On phones that can't run the advanced engine, CorvoCam falls back to a compatibility engine that keeps the screen on.

Built for construction sites, security, wildlife, nature and for any other time lapse video ideas you can imagine.

How it works
Pick a phone to be the camera. Pick another phone, or a browser, to be the viewer. Pair them with the QR code. That's it.

What it does

What’s new

Screen-off capture is more reliable: the camera service now starts on every capture path, and the capture session recovers on its own if the app is backgrounded mid-job.

Remote settings now confirm themselves. When you change a setting from the viewer, the camera answers with what it actually applied — no more guessing whether it landed.

The viewer's one-camera view fills the screen properly, and the card's controls are a single tidy row.

Your current plan is now marked on the plan grid.
