Get started immediately with zero setup and no extra hardware needed - turn your spare smartphone or tablet into a security camera, pet cam, baby monitor, or senior care cam!

Security made simple:
Unlike expensive, legacy cctv cameras there is no setup required. The camera device is wireless and you don't need a SIM if you are connected to WiFi. The camera device has battery backup and only needs to be connected to a charger for long term operation. In areas with no WiFi the camera device can use 3G/4G. You are free to extend your system with as many camera devices as needed.

Privacy:
Media between the viewer and camera is end-to-end encrypted and signalling is encrypted with TLS using certificate pinning. Recordings are stored locally on the camera device, with optional cloud recording. Your credentials are not accessed by the service and two-factor authentication is supported when using Google or Facebook sign in. With two-factor authentication you can revoke access to the system for any device. You can protect the camera by locking the screen. For extra security, pair the viewer with the camera using Android Beam.

Ratings and reviews

Editing my review. You guys seem to have fixed most of the problems. Thank you, about time. There are only a few concerns I have left. (1. When you go off of wifi with viewing phone then back onto wifi, it will not playback recordings. (2. The Pan and tilt feature that came with the new update is either non existent, or everything I have tried is wrong. (3. On the area of help when messaging your support you used to answer back within a couple of hours, now you never answer back. I've waited over 2 months for any response. (4. The low light filters you guys use still need improvements, because they are almost nonexistent.

Seems to be a great app, but the camera disconnects after some time on Android 11, maybe the system doesn't let it run in background for very long. You need to try different running in background strategy, like a Foreground service with a notification or ask for permission to paint over other apps. Hopefully you can resolve the issue soon!

Worked mediocre in the past but now won't ever log in on any of my devices & so all past data is a loss too..no other surveillance app has given me more troubles & loss of potentially incriminating data..am now uninstalling from all devices. Save yourselves the troubles there r quite a few better 1s avail'ble w/less issues & even offer more 4free. I've tried too long w/this app.
