IMPORTANT NOTICE:
- use the button at the bottom of the screen to switch to the iSight camera.
- iSight camera has no autofocus feature. It is necessary to place the QR code at the correct distance so it appears sharp.
- always ensure that your room is bright to improve scanning results. Use additional light sources in semi-dark / poorly lit rooms.
- iPhone as a camera requires macOS 13 Ventura, iOS 16, and iCloud. iPhone as a camera on macOS Sonoma/Ventura/Monterey requires 3rd party iOS app such as EpocCam.
