  • ISO Value: Adjust the camera's sensitivity to light.
  • Lens Position: Fine-tune the focus of the camera lens to capture sharp images.

  • Auto Exposure: The camera automatically adjusts the exposure settings for the best image quality.
  • Auto Focus: The camera will manage its focus settings to ensure clarity and detail in recorded imagery.

Direct Recording​

Initiate data recording directly from the Camera App with the same efficacy as using the Recorder App. This feature is particularly useful for capturing imagery data streams, like RGB, left, right, and disparity views, without the need for additional configuration.

Recording from the Camera App is equivalent to recording from the Recorder App, however, the Recorder App provides additional data streams such as GPS and canbus.

Streamlined Interface​

The Camera App interface is designed for ease of use:

  • Start/Stop Recording: Simple controls to begin or end the recording session.
  • Settings Adjustment: Quick access to camera settings, with sliders for manual adjustments and checkboxes for automatic configurations.
  • Camera Selection: Tabs for each oak device enable users to switch between different cameras effortlessly.

With its user-friendly design and comprehensive feature set, the Camera App is an indispensable tool for anyone looking to maximize the capabilities of their Amiga robot's camera system.
