Camo is a freemium webcam app by British software company Reincubate allowing phones and other mobile devices to be used as webcams and document cameras.[1][2]

The app runs on macOS and Microsoft Windows and is compatible with iOS and Android phones.[3][4]

The app comes in a free and Pro version. The free version uses the mobile device's main camera,[5][6] while the Pro version gives accesses to all cameras.[4]

Camo studio (the mac or pc app) can use a camera on that device without the need for a mobile phone.

Camo studio can also be paired to an android or apple phone running the camo app to allow the mac/windows device to make use of what is generally a superior camera.
