About this app

Turn your spare phone into an AI security camera. Watch live video with sound, receive alerts for selected people, animals or vehicles, and read AI summaries of visible activity in recorded event videos.

Use one device as the Camera and another as the Viewer. Live viewing is free. Install the app on both phones and pair them by QR code or short code. Camera and Viewer work on Android and iOS. Remote viewing requires internet on both devices.

AI VIDEO SUMMARIES — CONTEXT

In Context mode, the app analyzes recorded event video and creates a short summary of the visible activity. It describes the objects and actions visible in the recording to help you understand what happened.

When available, the summary is shown when you open the event and may be included in a notification. This additional video analysis runs online and requires internet. Processing and notifications may take time. Object detection runs on the Camera phone; video summaries use the online service.

GET STARTED

1. Install the app on two phones.
2. Choose Camera on the spare phone.
3. Choose Viewer on your main phone.
4. Pair by QR code or short code.
5. Open live view or start monitoring with credits or PRO. Enable Context for video summaries.

STORAGE AND OFFLINE MODE

Event videos and previews are saved on the Camera phone. Online mode can upload event videos for remote history and analysis, and smaller previews for notifications. Remote viewing, remote history, notifications and video summaries require internet.

Offline mode works with one phone and keeps recordings on the device without uploads or synchronization. It does not provide remote viewing, push notifications or online video summaries. The app saves event clips; continuous recording is not provided.

FOR HOME AND MORE

Use an old phone as a home security camera, pet camera, baby monitor, or a camera for your garage, driveway, office or vacation home.

ONLINE MONITORING AND CREDITS

Live viewing is free and does not use credits. Online monitoring uses credits or PRO. Smart Alerts use 1 credit per detection. Interval mode uses 0.1 credit per frame; 10 frames = 1 credit. Without PRO, online monitoring stops when credits reach zero. PRO provides unlimited online monitoring. Credits can be earned by watching ads.

What’s new

AI alerts and event snapshots are more reliable, with fewer duplicate notifications. Saved videos and previews upload and open more reliably, while live monitoring, camera recovery, and pairing recover more smoothly after interruptions. AI summaries add useful context in the viewer and notifications. Includes stability improvements and bug fixes.
