▶ How does it work?

The setup is simple and takes less than a minute:
- Get the app on a device you want to use as a CCTV camera.

Ratings and reviews

Ad free easy to set up and begin using within seconds. The ease of set up was the fastest experienced literally took seconds and capturing video and sharing capability already setup with the same ease for your viewers. An awesome app. I highly recommend it! Thank you linecast!

Good quality and all but having the actual camera on your phone or tablet really defeats the purpose of having a home security camera that you can access from anywhere.. if my phone is at home being a camera then I can't very well use it to check my home camera 🤣 I get that you can also use a tablet and that you can access the camera from any ip but most people who choose to get these systems generally do it so that they are able to access it FROM THEIR PHONE.. right? 🤣

Very useful app to easily transform your phones into a remote webcam (for monitoring cat/kids or just sharing live moments)
