WatchCam Viewer

WatchCam Viewer is the remote-control and monitoring companion for the WatchCam ecosystem. It connects to any device running WatchCam over LAN or WiFi, letting you view and control their cameras from a single, flexible view.

Instead of locking you into fixed hardware, WatchCam Viewer adapts to whatever devices you already have — turning any collection of old phones into a fully functional, simply a remote shutter for capturing the perfect shot without touching your camera, or expandable surveillance solution.

Key Features
- Connect to WatchCam devices over LAN or WiFi and switch between feeds instantly
- Remote control of each connected camera's settings, tailored to the device and shot
- Use any connected device as a remote shutter release, perfect for group photos and self-portraits
- Fully modular setup: add, remove, or reposition camera devices anytime without reconfiguring the whole system
- Mix and match any combination of old Android phones as cameras, tailored to your space or shoot
- Simple pairing process — connect a new WatchCam device in seconds

Built for Flexibility
- Every setup is different, whether it's a home security layout or a photo shoot.
- WatchCam Viewer adapts to yours — reassign a phone from "living room camera" to "tripod-mounted shutter" in moments, or expand your setup as your needs grow.
- No rigid hardware ecosystem

Perfect For
- Remote shutter release for photography — group shots, selfies, or wildlife shots without camera shake
- Monitoring pets, kids, or elderly family members across multiple rooms
- DIY setups you can rearrange as your space, needs, or creative projects change
- Even basic home security using retired phones as repositionable cameras

Why WatchCam Viewer
Most apps tie you to one purpose — either surveillance or photography, never both. WatchCam Viewer breaks that mold — any phone running WatchCam becomes a camera or a remote-triggered shutter, any phone running WatchCam Viewer becomes your control hub, and the whole system reshapes itself around however you want to use it.

Requirements
- WatchCam app installed on camera-side devices
- Devices reachable over the same LAN or WiFi network
- Android Oreo 8.0 or higher
