How does CamScope work?

CamScope uses your browser's built-in WebRTC technology to access your camera directly. All processing happens locally on your device - no video data is ever sent to our servers. The tool analyzes your camera feed in real-time to provide detailed information about resolution, frame rate, color quality, and more.

Is my video data safe and private?

Absolutely! CamScope processes everything locally in your browser. Your video feed never leaves your device, and we don't store, transmit, or have access to any of your camera data. This ensures complete privacy and security while using our testing platform.

Why isn't my camera being detected?

Camera detection issues can occur for several reasons: 1) Camera permissions not granted - check your browser settings, 2) Camera in use by another application, 3) Outdated browser - try updating, 4) Hardware issues - try reconnecting your camera. Visit our troubleshooting guide for detailed solutions.

Which browsers are supported?

CamScope works on all modern browsers that support WebRTC, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera. For the best experience, we recommend using the latest version of Chrome or Firefox. Mobile browsers are also supported on iOS and Android devices.

What information does CamScope provide about my camera?

CamScope provides comprehensive camera analysis including: resolution and aspect ratio, frame rate and quality score, color analysis (RGB, HSL values), brightness and saturation levels, estimated file sizes for different formats, device information and capabilities, and real-time performance metrics.

Can I test multiple cameras?

Yes! CamScope automatically detects all available cameras on your device. You can switch between different cameras using the dropdown menu in the camera controls section. This is perfect for testing built-in webcams, external USB cameras, and other video input devices.

What does the quality score mean?

The quality score is calculated based on your camera's resolution, frame rate, and overall performance compared to modern standards. A score of 100/100 represents excellent quality (1080p at 30fps or better), while lower scores indicate areas for improvement. This helps you understand how your camera performs for video calls, streaming, or content creation.

Why is my camera quality poor in video calls?

Poor video quality can result from several factors: insufficient lighting (most common cause), low camera resolution or frame rate, poor internet connection during calls, outdated camera drivers, or suboptimal camera positioning. Check our lighting improvement guide for tips on enhancing your video quality.

Is CamScope free to use?

Yes, CamScope is completely free to use! We believe everyone should have access to professional-grade camera testing tools. The platform is supported by non-intrusive advertisements that help us maintain and improve the service.

Can I use CamScope on mobile devices?

Absolutely! CamScope is fully responsive and works great on smartphones and tablets. You can test both front and rear cameras on mobile devices. The interface automatically adapts to smaller screens while maintaining all functionality.
