How can we help?

1. Grant permissions when prompted (tap Continue through each system dialog)

3. Tap Start a Walkthrough to enter the camera
4. Aim and tap the shutter button — your photo is saved immediately with GPS (if enabled)

Photos are saved directly to your iOS Photos library in a Site Cam album. Open the Photos app to view or share them. Nothing is stored on any server.

Yes, if you grant Location permission. Every photo automatically embeds latitude, longitude, altitude, and a timestamp in the EXIF metadata. You can verify this by swiping up on a photo in the iOS Photos app to see the embedded map. Location permission is optional — the app works without it, photos just won't include GPS data.

After capturing a photo, a caption sheet appears. Tap the microphone icon and speak your note. Site Cam uses Apple's on-device speech recognition to transcribe it. The caption is saved with the photo and embedded in the EXIF description field.

Tap the project selector at the top of the camera view, then + New Project. Enter a project name and number. Site Cam automatically associates new photos with the active project and can detect nearby projects by GPS.
