About

Simple, modern app allowing webcam settings such as pan/tilt/zoom to be modified. Features include:

- Presets: Save an unlimited number of pan, tilt and zoom settings to restore later - Non-exclusive access: Can be used at the same time as other apps that use the webcam, such as video conferencing apps.
