Features
Everything you need at the bench
Control the camera from the app or straight from the browser. Both stay in sync.
Sharp & smooth
High-resolution video at up to 30 frames per second, so you can read part markings and check every joint.
Click to focus
Click any spot in the video to focus right there. Focus stays locked, so it won't hunt when your iron moves in.
Smooth zoom
Zoom in on tiny SMD parts with the slider, from the phone or the browser.
Flash on demand
Light up dark corners of a board with the phone's LED, toggled from wherever you're watching.
Mirror the image
Flip the view left to right with one tap, so what you see matches how your hands move.

FAQ
Questions
Which phones does it work on?
Any Android phone running Android 7.0 or newer with a back camera.
What do I need on my computer?
Just a web browser. The phone and the computer must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
The video is choppy. How do I make it smoother?
Connect your phone to a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network if your router has one. It's much faster than 2.4 GHz and gives the smoothest video. Good lighting, or the flash, also helps.
Can other people see my stream?
Only devices on the same local network that know the address shown in the app, and only while streaming is on. Stream on networks you trust, and tap Stop Stream when you're done.
Is it free?
Yes. CloudMicroscope is free and shows a small ad in the app. The stream page in your browser has no ads.
