Inner10 Target Camera allows you to turn your old phone into a target camera system. Before you buy it's important to read the tutorial. It'll explain what additional hardware you'll need and what're the maximum shooting distances for various hardware configurations.

Our system requires 2 phones and 2 applications:
• https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobidev.apps.targetcam.camera
• https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobidev.apps.targetcam.monitor
Unlike a professional target camera our system is:
• Cheap - professional systems cost 350-700$, this setup is around 50-80$ when shooting 50-100m and 100-120$ when shooting 100-1000m. Mobile connections with public IP address are also supported (in this case you can shoot at any distance – see the tutorial for more information).
• In case when you hit the camera you won't have to spend another 350-700$ for a new system. You only have to replace the phone. Ask your family and friends for free/cheap phones they don't use anymore.
Unlike a free generic remote camera application our system provides:
• Off-center zooming - with a generic application you can only zoom in center and that means you can only view one target. With off-center zooming you can put 4-8 targets next to each other and then move the preview to zoom on a different target. That's 4-8 times less walking to change your targets.
• Perspective correction – this application can remove the skew that comes from placing the camera at an angle to the target. No generic application can do that.
• Low display lag – when your devices as far apart and your network signal drops low, the lag between the bullet hitting the target and you seeing the impact will be around 4-10 seconds for the generic application. For this application the lag will be around 1-2 seconds (depending on your phone CPU) for the same image resolution and network speed.
• Better image resolution – as a rule of thumb the maximum image resolution you can use will be 2,7 times bigger. For example 5344x3006 vs 1920x1080 (those values depend on the camera in your phone). This'll provide you with better image quality when zooming.
• Optimized network usage - as a rule of thumb this application will use 4 times less data then a generic application. Not only this improves the display lag but also it saves your data plan when using the mobile connection.
• We offer both live stream and photo mode. Photo mode sends images only when they're requested and will preserve your network data plan even more.
Unlike a spotting scope:
• The whole system is cheaper then a good scope.
• Has no mirage issues.
• You don't have to lean over to take a look (that'll improve your score, since you won't change your shooting position between shots).
• But if you've a spotting scope already, you can attach out system to it. This way you don't have to change your shooting position to have a look (since the phone can be at any place and angle). Also you can keep your scope close to you to avoid it being hit (since it has enough zoom to view the target from afar, also the phone adds digital zoom).
The only downside is that we offer 3-12FPS while the generic application offers 30FPS (for the same image resolution and CPU). Never the less 30FPS isn't any good when you've to wait 10 seconds to see the bullet impact. Also high FPS comes at a high cost of missing benefits as listed above. 3-12FPS sounds awful but in reality it's plenty enough for shooting.
Currently we don't offer a demo version, however you can get a refund from Google within 48h if you don't like. To test it make sure you've 2 phones ready before buying.
You can use this application on as many devices as you want, as long all of those devices are logged to the same Google account (the account which you used to buy this application).
