About this app

WARNING: Do not use this app as a baby monitor! It is not certified as such. The video might freeze, and you will not be able to see the latest image.

Remote Video Cam allows two android devices to stream video/audio to each other on the same LAN. The app needs to run on both devices. When started, the app will automatically find the other device, and will start streaming video from its cam to it. The user can select to be either in "camera" or "display" mode on each device. Both phones can be in "display" mode as well, to see the other's camera view. The app can be used to monitor things in the house or in the yard, walkie-talkie, etc.

This is an open-source project:

Ratings and reviews

Very easy to set up, just install on both phones, select camera or monitor mode on each phone and it works. However I have not found a way to access any camera functions besides record, no way to even turn the flash on. Access to camera controls is something I need.

Very good app. But need some improvement. 1) screen automatically turn off and and we need to click then it again showing camera view. 2) not connecting fast with another device.

One of, if not the best ways to let you use an old android phone or something like the Google Home Hub tablet as a security, pet, baby or whatever other purpose camera you need
