Video Recorder Lite
Take videos with sound trigger
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Sound-activated video camera
Video Recorder with Trigger records video or takes photos automatically when it hears a sound — so the camera is already rolling the moment something happens.
Point the phone at the scene, set the sound level, and arm the trigger. When a noise above your level is detected, recording starts by itself. Or skip the trigger and record manually whenever you like.
PERFECT FOR
• Finding out what's making that noise at night
• Watching wildlife, birds and pets while you're out of sight
• Recording who comes to the door
• Capturing snoring or sleep talking
• Documenting noisy neighbours or barking dogs
• Any moment you can't sit and wait for
SOUND TRIGGER
• Simple calibration screen: make the sound, watch the live level meter, set the trigger just above the background noise
• Live level indicator while armed, so you can see how close sounds come to triggering
• Optional automatic re-arm after each recording — leave the phone unattended and capture every event
RECORDING
• Record video or take photos, front or rear camera
• Set a recording length, or record continuously until you stop
• Optional countdown delay with sounds before recording starts
• Optional flashlight signal when recording begins
• Works in portrait and landscape
YOUR RECORDINGS
