Turn an old Android phone into a WiFi security camera and use another phone as a live camera monitor. This IP camera app lets you create a simple camera setup using two phones, with live video streaming, audio, camera pairing, recordings and monitoring over your local WiFi network.
Have an old phone that you no longer use? Turn it into a security camera instead of leaving it unused. Use one phone as the camera and your main phone as the viewer. Whether you need a WiFi camera for your home, office, workspace or pet area, you can create a simple two-phone security camera setup using devices you already have.
How it works
Install the app on two Android phones. Select Camera Mode on the phone you want to use as the camera, then select Viewer Mode on your other phone. Pair the devices and connect them to the same WiFi network. Place the camera phone where you need a view and open the paired camera on your viewer phone to watch the live video.
You can save paired cameras for quick access and reconnect to recent cameras without going through the setup again.
Why use an old phone as a security camera?
A spare Android phone already has a camera, microphone and WiFi connection, so you can give it a useful second life as an old phone camera or security camera. This can be useful when you need an additional camera without buying a dedicated camera device.
Use your phone as a security camera to check a room, workspace, entrance or other area where you have permission to monitor. You can also use an old Android phone security camera for home monitoring, office monitoring or a pet area.
IP camera and WiFi camera
Use the app as an IP camera and IP camera viewer for your paired camera device. The Viewer Mode lets your second phone act as a camera monitor while the camera phone provides the live camera feed.
If you are looking for an IP camera, WiFi camera, home security camera, CCTV camera or local WiFi camera, this app provides a way to use Android phones for camera monitoring over your local network.
Live video and recording
Watch live video from the camera phone on your viewer device. Live video streaming lets you view the camera feed while the camera is operating.
You can also capture photos and video recordings from the camera feed when you need to save something for later viewing.
Motion detection
The app includes motion detection camera features that can help you monitor activity in the camera area.
Use motion detection together with your camera phone when you want an additional way to monitor a room, workspace or other area where you have permission to use a camera.
Home and everyday monitoring
Use the app as a home security camera for a room, entrance or other area of your home. You can also use it as an office camera, pet monitor or general camera monitor when you need to check a location from another phone.
