Guardian Eye Web Camera turns an old Android phone into a standalone network IP camera — no cloud, no account, no subscription. It pairs natively with Guardian.Eye and streams over your local network to any standard ONVIF client or NVR.
WORKS WITH
• Guardian.Eye — native integration
• VLC, web browsers, and any ONVIF NVR — Blue Iris, Synology Surveillance Station, ONVIF Device Manager and more
STREAMING & PROTOCOLS
• Snapshot JPEG, MJPEG and RTSP (H.264 and H.265/HEVC, with AAC audio)
• Full ONVIF server with auto-discovery (WS-Discovery)
SMART ON-DEVICE DETECTION
• Object detection powered by on-device AI
• Motion, tamper and sound detection — each with adjustable sensitivity
• Detection zones: paint exactly where the camera should watch
• Event history with configurable retention
• All detection runs locally and is published as standard ONVIF analytics events, so your NVR can record, alert and trigger on them

• Resolution up to 1080p, frame rate up to 30 fps, JPEG quality
• Orientation and focus mode (auto / locked)

SECURITY & PRIVACY
• Local network only — video never leaves your network
• Username / password required (no admin/admin defaults)
• RTSP Digest and ONVIF WS-Security authentication
• Credentials stored encrypted on the device (Android Keystore)
PERSONALIZATION
• 18 languages, switchable in-app
• System, Light and Dark themes
Includes a status & health dashboard and runs as a foreground service for continuous streaming. Reuse an old phone as a security camera in minutes.
