Who needs 4K when you have VHS?
E240 films the way camcorders did in 1997. The real signal — not a grainy sticker on top.

COUNTER 0:01 — MOVIE NIGHT
The Home tab is a VCR. It cuts memory tapes from your photo library and plays them like it's 1996. The keys work — try them.
COUNTER 0:02 — THE CAMERA
The signal happens live in the viewfinder, not in post. Full-frame 4:3 like a tube TV, 9:16 for stories — portrait or landscape.
COUNTER 0:03 — STILL ROLLING
GLITCH
Tracking wobble, tape damage, bottom-line glitch — trigger them while you film.
EDITOR
Import any clip, pick a tape, stamp it with any date. 1994 works.
LIBRARY
Everything you shot in one place — cut it into a home movie worth rewinding.

Real reviews from the App Store.
Love it! I feel like I’m Francis Ford Coppola shooting The Godfather
Used this at this year’s Edinburgh Military Tattoo and it’s like having a real camcorder. Wonderful 1990’s quality.
Great app, that captures the VHS aesthetics. Shoot videos like it’s 1997.
The new filters are pretty amazing. Love the idea of the automatic tape memories!

E240 (full App Store name: VHS Cam – E240) is a VHS camera app for iPhone. It records video that looks shot on a real 90s camcorder, VHS-ifies videos you already have, and plays memory tapes cut from your photo library on a VCR home screen.
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.
