Tick Camera

Simply Explained

How Does the Tick Camera Work?

Tick Camera uses your smartphone camera directly in your browser.
After you allow camera access, a live image appears on the screen.
You can use it to inspect skin or fur more closely without uploading
or saving a photo.

By default, the camera image is shown in a negative view.
Light and dark areas are reversed. This may help make small dark spots,
fine structures or possible ticks easier to notice on skin, hair or fur.

Use the round button to freeze the current camera image.
The still image remains visible only temporarily in your browser so you
can inspect the area more carefully. It is not automatically saved and
is not transmitted to tickcamera.com.

On supported devices, the Light button can activate the rear-camera
flashlight. This can make it easier to inspect hair, thick fur or poorly
lit areas. The light function may not be available on every smartphone
or browser.

Tick Camera does not automatically identify ticks. It does not analyze
images, identify tick species, detect infections or provide a diagnosis.
It is a practical visual checking aid that can help you take a closer
look at a suspicious spot.
