PebbleCam - Watch Your Phone's Camera on Your Pebble app for iPhone and iPad
Take pictures and record videos right from your wrist! Use your Pebble to see what your iPhone sees. PebbleCam streams your iPhones camera right onto your wrist. From your Pebble, you can toggle between rear and front camera, flash light mode or take high-res pictures and video as you wish. No WiFi or Internet required!
Say goodbye to hurriedly rejoining your group photos. :)
This current version of PebbleCam runs quite slow on iPhone 4. It does work, but will receive additional love in the next updates.
The limited bandwidth between your Pebble and iPhone cuts PebbleCam to a transmission rate of approximately 20 frames per minute. We are working on a more sophisticated video codec to increase the frame rate over the next updates.
You can also shake or tap onto your Pebble to take pictures or to start/stop video recording!
Pros and cons of PebbleCam - Watch Your Phone's Camera on Your Pebble app for iPhone and iPad
PebbleCam - Watch Your Phone's Camera on Your Pebble app good for
Great app but pretty slow on 1fps can you make a 30fps mode like wrist vision?
I paid extra for this one, because the reviews on the others werent very good. Very pleased. The image shows up on my watch, and I can record video or snap pictures without holding my phone. Im looking forward to taking selfies with the good camera on my phone, and also making some talking head videos for my YouTube channel.
Please note the display on your wrist is square, though. So you need to keep that in mind (it crops pictures to fit).
I took off one star because it gave me some grief installing. It kept telling me I had the wrong kind of pebble, while showing me a picture of the exact model I had. I clicked around and got it working, though, so overall a good experience.
Some bad moments
This app does not have the required app for the watch side. It is an iPhone only app which currently does nothing. Developers do not respond to emails. It should be removed from the App Store, it is fraudulent to be selling something claiming to have functionality it does not.
I just bought this. I cant download it. It says it has been removed. Enjoy my money.
Being a fan of pebble snap I decided to try this app out. Skeptical at first (how could there really be an app that streamed live footage to your pebble?) I quickly realized the description is spot on and the app works exactly as it should. This is a big step in the right direction for future pebble apps. my only complaint would be the slow refresh rate of the watch footage, but that was addressed in the description so I wont complain too much about it.
Ive tried almost a dozen times to install this app on my pebble but to no avail. The PebbleCam app just keeps shutting down and going back to the main iOS screen. I wish I had that fingerprint purchase back now.
So far so good, I was even able to take a picture from another room, about 25 feet away...It will lose connection if you go too far, but for $3 its worth it.....The fun begins
Works as described, but image on Pebble was worse than I anticipated. And I wasnt expecting much. The ability to take picture with watch is valuable. If it was .99 Id give it a higher score.
