About this app

Your old Android phone becomes the camera. Video is end-to-end encrypted and never recorded to the cloud. Point it at the hallway, the entrance, the garage or the sofa, and watch the live stream from the phone in your hand.

No hardware to buy. RECAM turns the phones and tablets you already own into a private camera system: one device films, another one watches, and pairing them takes a single QR scan.

📷 Your old phone becomes the camera
Prop up an Android phone facing the front door, the garage or the crib, and it streams live HD video and sound to the device you paired it with. It keeps streaming with the screen off, so the camera phone can sit on a charger all day. No dedicated hardware, no cables to run, nothing to drill into a wall.

🔔 On-device AI that watches for you
The camera analyses the scene on the device itself and alerts you the moment something matters:
- Sound detection — glass breaking, a smoke alarm, a dog barking, a baby crying
- Person detection and motion detection
- Animal detection
- Baby face monitoring for the nursery
Everything is analysed on the camera phone, in real time, and paired viewers get the notification straight away.

🚨 Remote siren
Make the room impossible to be in. One tap and the phone you left at home starts wailing — up to five minutes, and stopping is instant. RECAM asks you to confirm first, because a mis-tap is a painful noise in someone's home.

🎙️ Push to talk
Tap the mic on the live view and record up to thirty seconds. Your voice plays out loud on the camera phone. Recorded and delivered, not a call, so nobody has to answer.

🔒 Encrypted, never recorded to the cloud
Your video is end-to-end encrypted and is never recorded to the cloud or stored on a server. RECAM links your devices directly whenever the network allows; when it can't, an encrypted relay forwards the stream but can never read, store or watch it. The footage stays yours.

🎬 Clips you can replay
Record video clips on the camera and play them back from the viewing device when you want a second look. Clips stay on the camera phone — they are not uploaded anywhere.

🎛️ One tap: Home Security, Pet watcher or Baby Phone
Pick a profile and RECAM sets up detection and notifications for that job in a single tap. Adjust anything afterwards.

📡 Live video and sound, wherever you are
Real-time HD with low latency. On the same Wi-Fi, RECAM takes the fast local path. Away from home it works over mobile data too — no port forwarding and no public IP to set up. If either device moves between Wi-Fi and mobile, the stream recovers on its own.

🔦 Built for real rooms
- Low-light boost: the camera lights the scene when the room goes dark
- Zoom control from the viewing device
- Eco mode to go easy on the battery
- Alert banners while you are watching
- Shared access so the rest of the family can look in too

🔄 Any device, either role
Camera or viewer — you decide, device by device. Android phones and tablets work alongside iPhone and iPad, so an old Android can watch the entrance while you check in from whatever is in your hand. Add as many cameras as you need and switch between them in a tap.

🏠 What people use RECAM for
- Home and apartment security
- Entrance, hallway, garage and workshop
- Pet cam while you're out
- Baby monitor and nursery check-ins
- Nanny, elderly and family check-ins
- Shop, office and holiday homes

⚙️ Live in minutes
You need two devices: one to be the camera, one to watch from. Install RECAM on both, scan the QR code to pair them, and you're streaming. Leave the camera phone on a charger and it can watch the room all day.

RECAM — private, real-time monitoring built on the devices you already own.
