You can add as many cameras as you want to create an all-in-one security camera system. You then watch your camera anytime from anywhere on your personal phone by installing the Security Camera CZ in monitor mode, even from the other part of the world.
If you are looking for a surveillance camera app, pet cam app, dog camera app, baby camera app or webcam app, this is a choice. The app is regularly updated, so in contrast to dedicated security camera systems, you get regularly new features and functions.

WHEN TO USE
In contrast to traditional IP cameras, CCTV cameras or home surveillance cameras this app can be used without any costs if you have some old smartphone in a drawer. Security Camera CZ works even on oldest smartphones with Android 4.1 which were released in 2012 including all features described above.

Ratings and reviews

Problems: 1.Doesn't display anything on the camera device while recording. Blank and unchanging. I want people to know they are being recorded (as on Alfred Camera). 2. Stopped recording things after a while. Don't know why. Poor documentation. 3. Never got notifications although turned on. 4. Apparently all the motion is recorded in one long file (or one per day). I want to see separate motion events and be able to view them. Would need major effort to get it working. #1 is dealbreaker.

Nice. A very pleasant app to use. No nasty surprises, only the good kind. For example... it was a bit cumbersome to turn off the camera remotely. Then, I accidentally swiped the camera image and found the shortcut! Also, I reduced the sensitivity to eliminate false triggers from shadows or reflections and that just works perfectly. Setting the detection area dialed it in even more. Save to Google Drive... nice! All free. Even though the ads are not obnoxious I'm buying the ad-free version soon.

I tried many apps (I think 5 or 6 others). This one is the best. Reliable, easy to set up, surprisingly great quality. Being able to change the areas of movement detection (with really specific quadrants) is a nice touch . I have one on my window ledge to watch the front door/driveway and one to watch my pets while I'm gone. The only thing I wish I could change is zooming into specific areas instead of just zooming into the center. But definitely not a deal breaker for such a great free app.
