Hauppauge introduces mySelfie, a wireless camera shutter for phones and tablets

The newest member of Hauppauge's myWireless devices, mySelfie makes it easy to take digital camera pictures on an iPhone, iPad or Android phone or tablet

Hauppauge Digital Inc., April 08, 2014, London, UK -- Hauppauge Digital Inc. today announced the release of mySelfie, a wireless remote control camera shutter for Apple and Android smart phones and tablets. mySelfie allows you to capture single or multiple photos up to 30 feet away from your smart phone or tablet, giving users wireless control for making self photographs.

mySelfie is part of Hauppauge's myWireless family of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connected devices for Apple and Android smart phones and tablets. Small and lightweight, mySelfie has a built-in long life battery so it can be used anywhere. Mobile users can take photos wirelessly their iPhone or Android devices by launching the free app from the app or Google play store, then pressing a capture button from mySelfie.

mySelfie supports single remote and continuous capture modes. The mySelfie app for both Apple iPhones and iPads and the mySelfie app for Android devices can be downloaded from the respective Apple and Google app stores.

"When we showed my mySelfie to our early beta testers, they loved the idea of taking selfies by simply pushing a remote control button. Normally when taking selfies, you need to get that perfect angle on your phone and then you have to fiddle around with the phone to press the snapshot button. With mySelfie, you can hold the phone or tablet in one hand and use mySelfie to wirelessly click the camera shutter with the other hand, making the taking of selfies much easier," said Ken Plotkin, President of Hauppauge Computer Works.

The setup of mySelfie is simple. Launch the mySelfie app, select the camera icon in the app, point your phone to your object, then click the capture button.  mySelfie will then capture a picture wirelessly. Taking multiple photos is also simple- press the mySelfie capture button repeatedly on the mySelfie device. This will capture multiple photos repeatedly and add them to your mobile phone photos directory.
