Vantage Camera

Vantage Camera turns any Android phone into a wireless camera for the

Vantage Video Switcher. Point it, connect it to the same Wi-Fi as the

switcher, and it becomes another angle your operator can cut to — no

capture cards, no long cable runs, no subscription.

ALWAYS KNOW YOUR STATUS

Camera operators need one thing above all: to know whether they are

live. Vantage Camera shows a full-screen tally you can read from across

a room.

- ON AIR — red. You are being seen. Hold the shot.

- NEXT — amber. You are queued up. Line up your framing now.

- READY — green. Safe to move, reposition, or change your angle.

The tally updates the moment the operator takes or previews your feed,

so there is never a guess about what the congregation is watching.

SET UP IN SECONDS

Open the switcher on your computer and it displays a code and an

address. On the phone, either scan the code or type the address. That

is the entire setup. No accounts to create, no sign-in, no device

pairing to manage before a service starts.

If a phone drops off the network, it offers to reconnect to the last

switcher with a single tap — useful when a camera operator's screen

locks mid-service.

WORKS WITHOUT THE INTERNET

Vantage runs entirely on your local network. Video travels from the

phone to the switcher directly over Wi-Fi and never leaves the

building. That means it keeps working when the venue's internet is

down, congested, or simply not there — and nothing you record is

uploaded anywhere.

BUILT FOR REAL VENUES

- Churches running a multi-camera service on a volunteer team

- Conferences, school events, and assemblies

- Weddings and community events

- Anywhere you need more angles than you have cameras or cable

ON THE PHONE

- Front and rear camera, switchable mid-session

- Clear ON AIR / NEXT / READY tally

- Screen stays awake while you are connected

- Two-tap confirmation to leave a session, so nobody drops a live

camera by accident

WHAT YOU NEED

This app is a camera for the Vantage Video Switcher and is not a

standalone recorder. To use it you will need:

- The Vantage Video Switcher running on a Windows computer

- The phone and the computer on the same Wi-Fi network

Any number of phones can join the same session, so a small team can run

several angles from devices they already own.

PERMISSIONS

- Camera — required, to send your video to the switcher

- Microphone — to send audio along with your video

Vantage does not collect personal data, does not show ads, and does not

require an account.
