Release your digital camera (eg. a DSLR) or integrated camera with your phone!

Features & Capabilities

Camera Timer USB allows you to remotely release your digital camera (such as DSLRs from Canon, Nikon, or Sony) using your Android phone. It supports infrared (IR) blaster control for seamless wireless operation and requires Android 4.4 KitKat or higher with a built-in IR blaster. The app also supports USB host mode (Android 3.x and above) to connect external cameras with a specialized USB host adapter cable. For earlier Android versions, the app can trigger external electronic devices using the phone's built-in flash LED.

Additionally, Camera Timer USB provides an option to take photos using the phone’s internal camera with automatic geotagging. Releasing external cameras via optical cable requires compatible phones offering torch mode for the camera flash and a connection cable with a phototransistor. This Chrome extension is ideal for photography enthusiasts seeking remote shutter control and advanced camera timer features right from their Android device.
