Dual Camera mode
iPhone dual camera video capture
Use Voxelio Dual Camera when calibrated iPhone video is the deliverable. On MultiCam-capable devices, it records synchronized wide and ultra-wide HEVC streams; on other devices, it falls back to single-camera HEVC capture.

Workflow
iPhone capture
Best for
- iPhone wide and ultra-wide video capture
- Computer vision and calibration review
- Reference footage for 3D production
- Video-first capture sessions where mesh export is not needed
Outputs
- Wide and ultra-wide HEVC video on supported devices
- Single-camera HEVC fallback on unsupported devices
- Per-frame camera and intrinsics-oriented capture data
- Session metadata and selected camera settings
Device requirements
Requires an iPhone supported by Voxelio. Synchronized wide and ultra-wide capture requires Apple MultiCam support and compatible camera hardware; otherwise Voxelio records single-camera HEVC video.
Wide and ultra-wide capture for video datasets
Dual Camera mode is built for teams that need camera footage as source material, not a reconstructed model. It records HEVC video from the iPhone camera system, using wide and ultra-wide lenses together when the hardware and Apple MultiCam support allow it.
Synchronized streams when MultiCam is available
On supported iPhones, Voxelio captures both camera streams in the same session so motion, lighting, and scene changes line up. If dual-camera capture is not available, the app keeps the workflow usable with a single-camera HEVC recording path.
Camera data captured beside the footage
The mode includes per-frame camera and intrinsics-oriented capture so downstream tools have more context than a plain video file. That makes it useful for computer vision, calibration review, and workflows that compare footage against spatial data from other Voxelio modes.
Controls for repeatable camera sessions
Lens correction, stabilization, timelapse, shutter, and ISO settings let you tune the capture for the scene. Those controls are practical when you need less automation and more predictable input for a video-based pipeline.
Choose video when geometry is not the goal
Dual Camera is the right mode when you want synchronized iPhone video and camera metadata. For textured LiDAR geometry, use Mesh Mode; for structured rooms, use Room Plan; for splatting source data, use Gaussian Splatting.

Gaussian Splatting
Record ARKit video with camera poses, intrinsics, and metadata for Gaussian splatting, plus optional depth maps and point cloud data.
Mesh Mode
Scan rooms and spaces with iPhone LiDAR, then export OBJ + MTL meshes with optional texture atlas, photo textures, or classification colors.
Point Cloud Mode
Capture colored AR depth samples on supported iPhones and export PLY point clouds with density, confidence, max depth, and preview controls.
Room Plan
Use Apple RoomPlan in Voxelio to scan structured rooms, detect walls, openings, furniture, and export USDZ + JSON.
3D Objects
Create on-device USDZ models of individual objects with Apple Object Capture and PhotogrammetrySession in Voxelio.
FAQ
Dual Camera questions
- Does Voxelio record wide and ultra-wide video at the same time?
- Yes, when the iPhone supports Apple MultiCam for the selected cameras. Unsupported devices use Voxelio's single-camera HEVC fallback.
- What video format does Dual Camera use?
- Dual Camera records HEVC video, using synchronized wide and ultra-wide streams where supported.
- Can I control exposure settings?
- Yes. The mode includes settings such as shutter and ISO, along with lens correction, stabilization, and timelapse controls.
- Is Dual Camera a 3D reconstruction mode?
- No. It is a camera capture mode for video and per-frame camera data. Use Mesh, Point Cloud, Room Plan, or 3D Objects when you need 3D exports.
- What happens on iPhones without dual-camera support?
- Voxelio falls back to a single-camera HEVC capture workflow instead of blocking the session.
