6 really cool things you can do with a phone camera.



Good cameras are available on most phones nowadays. Cameras can handle many functions that there are probably some you might not know about. 

Remember Exactly Where You Parked

There are two ways you could do this, one, you can just snap a photo, and two, you can leave an old phone lying around in your car and you can use GPS tech to track your phone with your other phone  

Turn It Into a Security Camera or Dash Cam

You can download an app like Manything. It can let you watch live feeds/ recorded video, save the video to the cloud, get alerts when motion is detected. 

Scan and Digitize Documents and Photos

Digitize any document or photo to keep it accessible forever! Your phone’s camera will do a decent job of digitizing physical documents on its own. 

Enhance Things with AR

With AR (Augmented Reality) you’ll be able to see how new furniture would look like in your room, or a total remodel of your kitchen virtually. It will help you find measurements of a room, draw in thin air, or even try out new makeup before committing! 

Translate Unfamiliar Text

If you love traveling abroad but wouldn’t exactly call yourself a Mr knowalllanguages. Google Translate is the best app that can help you translate anything that’s written somewhere, or you’d like to talk in a different language without learning it at all. 

Sniff Out Hidden Cameras

Hotels are very convenient lodging options on vacation, they could also still be a little unnerving. Give yourself peace of mind that your room isn’t spying on you using your phone camera to see any hidden cameras, Open up your camera, move it around the room, look for that infrared light.
