About this app

Turn a spare Android phone into a home security camera in minutes. Put the old phone on a shelf, plug it in, and watch it live from your main phone or from any web browser on the same Wi-Fi.

No cloud, no account, no extra hardware. Video goes directly between your own devices on your home network.

HOW IT WORKS
• On the old phone, choose "Use this phone as Camera".
• On your main phone, choose "Watch my cameras" and scan the QR code.
• That's it: live view, motion alerts and an event list, all on your Wi-Fi.

CAMERA MODE (the old phone)
• Live camera with a LIVE badge, battery level and overheating warning
• Reminder when the phone is not charging
• Motion detection with Low / Medium / High sensitivity
• On motion: a snapshot is saved on the phone and added to the event list
• 10-second motion clips saved on the phone (Premium)
• Low-light mode: brightens dark rooms and reduces noise in software (Premium)
• Dim screen: the display goes black while the camera keeps working
• A notification and the LIVE indicator are always visible while the camera is on

VIEWER MODE (your main phone)
• All your cameras in one list: online / offline and the last motion time
• Add a camera by QR code, or find it automatically on the same Wi-Fi
• Live view with snapshot to your gallery, flashlight and front/back camera switch
• Record a clip on the camera phone from your viewer (Premium)
• Events grouped by day with a filter for motion
• Motion notifications while you are on the same Wi-Fi

WATCH FROM A BROWSER
Open the camera phone's address (for example http://192.168.1.24:8080) on a laptop, tablet or TV browser on the same network. Enter the 6-digit PIN to see the live stream and recent events, and download pictures and clips. Nothing streams without the PIN.
