P2P HomeCam: Security Camera

P2P HomeCam: Security Camera turns a spare Android phone or tablet into a practical security camera, CCTV camera, baby monitor, pet camera, or home monitoring device. Use one Android device as the camera and another as the viewer to access live video and audio remotely.

Reuse an old phone instead of purchasing dedicated camera hardware and create a flexible monitoring setup for your home, office, pets, baby room, garage, or other spaces.

Turn Your Old Phone Into a Camera

Place your spare Android device where you want to monitor an area and use another phone or tablet to view the camera remotely. Front and rear camera support allows you to choose the available camera that works best for your setup.

Useful for:

Home security
Baby monitoring
Pet monitoring
Office surveillance
Room monitoring
Garage monitoring
Vacation properties
Small business spaces
Direct P2P Security Camera

P2P HomeCam is designed to connect the camera and viewer devices directly whenever network conditions allow. Direct peer-to-peer connectivity can provide responsive live monitoring without storing your video feed in cloud storage.

When a direct connection cannot be established, an optional encrypted relay can be used when enabled and supported.

QR Code Pairing

Connect your camera and viewer devices through QR code pairing and one-time PIN verification. No account is required for the basic device pairing process, making setup simple and focused on your own Android devices.

Motion Detection & Local Recording

Supported motion detection can help identify activity around the camera. When recording is enabled, motion recordings can be stored locally on the camera device.

Recordings remain on the camera device rather than being automatically uploaded to cloud video storage. Recording availability depends on storage, permissions, device hardware, and supported features.
