VHS camcorder for iPhone
Who needs 4K when you have VHS?
E240 doesn't paste a grainy overlay on your video. It films the way real VHS camcorders did — the noise, the color bleed, the timestamp, all coming from the signal itself.
VHS camcorder for iPhone
E240 doesn't paste a grainy overlay on your video. It films the way real VHS camcorders did — the noise, the color bleed, the timestamp, all coming from the signal itself.
COUNTER 0:01 — THE SIGNAL
Every "VHS app" slaps static on top of clean iPhone footage. You can tell. E240 degrades the picture the way tape actually did — so your videos don't look filtered, they look found.
Tape physics
Color bleed, soft edges, tape noise — generated in the signal path, not composited on top.
Burned-in timecode
The timestamp sits in the footage like a real camcorder OSD. Position it, format it, 12h or 24h.
Any date you want
Film your kid's birthday today, date it 1994. The tape doesn't argue.
COUNTER 0:02 — WHAT'S ON THE TAPE
● REC
Point, press record, and watch the VHS look happen live in the viewfinder — not in post.
IMPORT
Pull any clip from your library, run it through the tape, export it back with timestamp and all.
AM 1:40:11
Burned into the frame like it's 1997. Custom dates, custom position, 12h or 24h format.
LOOKS
Classic, Real, Dreamy and Cellphone — from clean-ish home video to a tape that's been in the attic.
4:3 / 9:16
Shoot full-frame 4:3 like a real tube TV, vertical for stories, or landscape — your call.
SAVE
Your tapes land in the photo library, ready for edits, group chats, and confused relatives.
COUNTER 0:03 — PLAYBACK
COUNTER 0:04 — QUESTIONS
E240 (full App Store name: VHS Cam – E240) is a VHS camera app for iPhone. It records video that looks like it was shot on a real 90s camcorder — tape noise, color bleed, burned-in timestamp — and can apply the same treatment to videos already in your library.
Most VHS apps composite a grainy overlay on top of clean footage. E240 processes the image the way a real VHS camera and tape did — the degradation comes from the signal itself, which is why the result reads as genuine camcorder footage instead of a filter.
Yes — E240 is free to download and use. An optional PRO subscription unlocks unlimited recording, all filters, custom timestamps, and removes watermarks.
Yes. Import any video from your photo library, run it through E240, and export it back with the full VHS treatment — timestamp included.
Yes. Set any custom date and time — the timestamp is burned into the footage exactly like a real camcorder OSD, so today's video can say JUN.09 1994.
No — E240 is an iPhone app, available exclusively on the Apple App Store.

Your camcorder has been in your pocket the whole time.
