Soccer Capture setup

Thanks for helping me record training sessions! This link is just for you, so please don't pass it on.

⬇ Download the Android app (63 MB)

  1. Install the app (Android only)

    Download Soccer Capture (63 MB)

    The download may appear only in your browser's download bar or notifications. Tap it there to install.

    • Open the downloaded file. If Android asks, allow Install unknown apps for your browser.
    • If Play Protect warns about an unknown developer, tap Install anyway. It's my own app, so it isn't in the Play Store.
    • Open Soccer Capture and allow Camera, Microphone and Notifications.

  2. Connect with your setup code

    • I'll send you your own setup QR code or link.
    • Scan it with your phone camera, or tap the link. Then tap Open in Soccer Capture → Connect.
    • You should see "Connected as <your name>". Please keep the code to yourself. If your phone is ever lost, let me know and I'll switch it off.

  3. Phone settings

    • Settings → Apps → Soccer Capture → Battery → Unrestricted, so a long recording isn't stopped.
    • Before a session, charge the phone and check free space. The app shows how much recording time fits.
    • Turn on Do Not Disturb while recording.

  4. Recording a session

    • On the setup screen, pick the player, coach, location and options (use + Add if a name is missing), then tap OK. The recording screen turns sideways.
    • Leave Video quality on Auto unless the app warns there isn't enough space for the planned length.
    • If you use two phones, give both the same session ID (for example 2026-09-18-001) and set one to WIDE and the other to SIDE.
    • Tripod at about 1.5–1.8 m, landscape, steady. WIDE shows the whole drill area with a margin; SIDE is closer on feet and body.
    • Press RECORD, have the player stand still for about 5 seconds, then give one loud, visible clap.
    • Record the whole session continuously, with no stopping between drills. Press STOP at the end. Each RECORD is saved as a new take, so nothing is overwritten.

  5. Uploading

    • After STOP, tap Upload when on Wi-Fi, or upload later from Recordings. Keep the phone plugged in, because large videos take a while. Uploads wait for Wi-Fi and pick up where they left off.
    • Once a recording shows verified, tap Free up space on the setup screen to remove it from your phone. Nothing is deleted until it's safely uploaded.

Videos go only to my home server for the training-analysis project. Your code can upload recordings, but it can't view or download any videos. Any questions, just message me.
