FlockEye

Apple's Multipeer Connectivity can become unreliable in crowded environments

For more stability, ensure that all devices are connected to the same local Wi-Fi network.

FlockEye enables multiple iOS devices to capture photos or videos simultaneously in Instant Take Mode.

In this mode, all captured content is collected by the host device, allowing the host user to review and save the photos or videos to their photo library.

In Auto Take Mode, FlockEye continuously captures photos for as long as there is available storage on the device. Photos taken in this mode are stored in FlockEye’s folder. Before starting, users can select a trigger to control when photos are taken. The host device can capture photos even without connected guest devices. If guest iPhones are connected, each device takes photos independently using the chosen trigger.

All captured photos on the host are stored with timestamps and displayed in a list, where users can choose to save them to the photo library or delete them. If a guest device loses connection with the host, it will continue capturing and storing images locally. When storage runs out in Auto Take Mode, the oldest photos are automatically deleted to make room for new ones.

Users can also choose to add a date and time stamp to the photos.

How to Use FlockEye in Instant Take Mode:

Open FlockEye on all devices you want to use for capturing photos.

Ensure that Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled on all devices.

Select one device as the host and wait for guest devices to connect.

Once a red dot appears, tap it to take pictures. However, for the best experience, wait until all guest devices are fully connected.

The host device will automatically receive photos from all connected devices. Once the transfer is complete, you're done!
