Frequently Asked Questions

DelayCam is a camera app that records video and plays it back with a customizable delay. You set a delay from 1 to 25 seconds, and the app continuously shows you what happened that many seconds ago. It's like having a personal instant replay system on your phone.

DelayCam is available on both iOS (iPhone, iPad) and Android devices. You can download it for free from the App Store or Google Play.

Yes, DelayCam is free to download and use. A premium upgrade is available for additional features like multiple camera views and advanced streaming options.

The core delay camera feature works completely offline — no internet required. You only need a connection for the streaming feature, which sends the delayed video feed to another device on your network.

Open DelayCam and use the delay picker to set your preferred time — anywhere from 1 to 25 seconds. The video feed will play back with exactly that delay. You can change it at any time without stopping the recording.

Start a stream in the DelayCam app and you'll get a 6-character code. Open delaycam.com/stream on any device (TV, laptop, tablet), enter the code, and the delayed video feed appears on the big screen. No extra apps needed on the viewing device.

It depends on the activity. A quick move like a golf swing works well with 3-5 seconds. Dance routines might need 8-10 seconds. Fitness reps work great at 5 seconds. Experiment to find what gives you enough time to finish your move and look at the screen. See our sports page for specific recommendations.

DelayCam works for any activity where seeing yourself helps you improve. Popular use cases include:

• Golf — swing analysis and form correction

Absolutely. Use the streaming feature to send the delayed video feed to a TV or projector. Everyone in the room can watch the replay on the big screen — great for team practice, PE classes, dance studios, and gyms.
