About this app

Got a spare Android phone? Turn it into a live video camera in under a minute.

P2P Background Camera streams video from one phone straight to another — like a baby monitor, pet cam, or home watchpoint you set up in seconds. No accounts. No cloud uploads. No monthly bill. Just one phone watching, another phone streaming.

HOW SIMPLE IS IT?

1. Open the app on the phone you want to use as the camera
2. Open the app on the phone you want to watch from
3. Enter the six-digit share code — and you're live

WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH IT

• Watch the crib from the kitchen while you cook
• Keep an eye on the dog while you're at work
• Check on a room from your desk
• Turn an old cracked-screen phone into a home security camera
• Share a live view with a partner across the city

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT

— Truly free. Not a trial, not a freemium tease.
— No account, ever. No sign-up, no login, no email needed.
— Works in the background. Lock the camera phone, the stream keeps going.
— Private by design. Video goes phone-to-phone over WebRTC. Nothing is recorded. Nothing is uploaded. Nothing ever sits on a server.
— Works on Wi-Fi or mobile data.
— Barely sips battery and data.

PRIVACY, IN PLAIN ENGLISH

Your stream never touches a cloud server. The only thing our servers briefly see is the six-digit pairing code used to connect your two phones. After they're connected, it's just them talking to each other. That's it.

PERFECT FOR

– Parents who want a no-fuss baby monitor
– Pet owners checking in during the day
– Anyone with an old phone gathering dust
– People who don't want yet another subscription
– Privacy-conscious households

Ready? Install on both phones and be watching in under a minute.
