Remote Camera Control
Short answer
Key takeaways
- Trigger the real shutter on a remote iPhone or Android, not a screen grab
- Adjust focus and exposure live; ISO, shutter, white balance, and lens are Pro
- The operator directs from a browser while the subject only holds the phone
- Encrypted, access-controlled sessions keep every shoot private
What you can control remotely
CLOS turns the subject's phone into a camera you operate from afar. You trigger the shutter and pull focus, then set exposure to nail the look you want. On Pro and Enterprise plans you also reach ISO, shutter speed, and white balance, and you can switch between telephoto and ultra-wide lenses without ever touching the device yourself.
Because CLOS commands the real camera sensor, the result is a full-resolution capture rather than a compressed video still. The subject simply holds the phone steady; every creative decision stays with the remote operator.
Why operators choose remote control
Directing the camera yourself removes the guesswork of talking a subject through settings over a call. You see the live feed, set the frame, and capture on your own timing. It is the same control you would have on set, scaled across cities and time zones.
Pair it with remote RAW capture when you need maximum latitude in the edit, or keep things light with full-resolution JPG for fast turnarounds.
