Features & Capabilities

PairCamera lets you shoot from a distance and review your shots. It offers a curated set of remote controls to take photos or videos, zoom in and out, adjust focus, toggle the flash, set a timer (3s/5s/10s), and switch between the rear and front cameras.

You can apply PairCamera in setups like mounting an iPhone on a drone to capture from above or anywhere you need distant shooting. This extension brings convenient remote camera management directly in your browser.

User Reviews

Users like the app as a simple two-device remote for taking photos (and occasionally videos) but report recurring issues with connectivity and lag. Pairing can be unreliable, especially when switching apps or on older iOS versions. Video functionality is inconsistent or missing, and documentation/support is lacking. Overall, it delivers basic remote shooting for some setups but reliability is inconsistent.

Pros

Allows using one iPhone/phone as a remote to control the camera on another device.
Easy two-device pairing/setup.
Useful for remote shooting in hard-to-reach locations or discreet pet monitoring.
Supports both photo and video capture on at least some device configurations.
Simple, clean UI/look that feels easy to use.

Cons

Significant lag between the remote and camera (sometimes up to a minute).
Connection frequently drops or is lost even on a strong Wi-Fi network.
Unreliable pairing or disconnects when switching apps; compatibility issues with older iOS versions.
Video mode is not reliably available/functional; at best photos only on many setups.
Documentation and support are lacking (no in-app guidance; support routes mentioned).

Recent reviews

I tried this app out because I wanted to use my phone as a remote to take pictures with my iPad. Like other reviewers have said, there's a significant lag, which is a little annoying but I could live with. The bigger issue is that the connection between the two devices is constantly getting lost, despite a strong wifi connection on the same network. Each time the connection is lost, one of us would have to get up, get everything set up again, then re-pose, only for the same thing to happen a few seconds later. Ultimately gave up and deleted.

This app has helped me several times when I needed a remote camera in a location nearby that I could not get to myself, or if I needed to discreetly watch my pets. You just have to install the app on two phones and then pair them; one is your camera, and the other is the remote. One feature that I wish the developer would add is this: on the remote phone, if I switch to a different app, when I switch back to the PairCamera app, it seems to have lost the connection. I would like for it to maintain the connection if possible. I am using iPhone 12’s.
