The operational area is the local network provided by any Wi-Fi router: either the Wi-Fi hotspot service of the hosting device or an external device.

The way of operation:
An iPhone running the app performs a camera session and forwards the video frames to another iPhone running the app too and listening for the streaming. Both peers of this scenario can perform their own camera session and forward the streaming to the other peer.

The receiving iPhone can simply view ("follow") the real time video streaming coming from the other side (no audio is provided), freeze and/or save specific frames of the scene that is being received or even record the video streaming.

The app manages a local file system branch that contains the video files resulted from recording activity and collected as video frames.

Every recorded frames collection can be viewed at a later time, either frame-by-frame (by tapping) or along its natural capture timing, with the use of an internal viewer that can perform zooming both on single frame viewing and during video playing (the viewer lets you also pick a frame and save it as as jpg file - each frame is identified by a native progressive number).

Secondarily every frames collection can be used to build a final mp4 file, useful to be shared with the external world (through the Internet by means of the built-in options offered by the hosting system), the same is for jpg files resulting from various screen-shots (a frames collection, as such, can be transferred only to another iPhone running the app too, by means of proprietary get/send commands).

The frame rate is determined by the app that tries to get the maximum from each camera device (at every size format) compressing, sequencing and forwarding the frames (quality of image - rate of compression - is configurable and can lightly influence the frame rate).

The set of size formats available for each camera depends on the specific hardware occurrence and is filtered in order to pick up the formats most suitable to the app.

The main panel of the app is transparent (it lets the user see the scene) and designed with a very essential graphic user interface: it is divided in context sections that allow agile viewing of the got video streaming (obviously the entire panel can be hidden leaving the scene clean to be observed).

Both remote side of the app and the local one work together to keep (by default) the observed scene always oriented as the human horizon, in order to make it easy to understand "what happens" in every situation.
