Guardian Eye WebCamera

Guardian Eye WebCamera turns an old Android phone into a standalone network IP camera — no cloud, no account, no subscription. Use it directly or connect it to Guardian Eye and other compatible ONVIF recorders over your local network.

WORKS WITH
• Guardian Eye — native integration for live viewing and local recording
• Compatible ONVIF clients and network video recorders
• VLC and modern web browsers

LIVE VIEWING & PROTOCOLS
• Secure direct viewing in a web browser using WebRTC — no cloud relay or browser plug-in
• JPEG snapshots, MJPEG and RTSP
• H.264 and H.265/HEVC video with optional AAC microphone audio
• ONVIF-compatible server with automatic WS-Discovery
• Core live viewing through ONVIF, RTSP, HTTP/MJPEG and WebRTC is available without Pro

LOCAL ARCHIVE & SYNCHRONIZATION
• Keep recordings directly on the phone, including audio and event information
• Choose one synchronization mode: no synchronization, ONVIF Profile G, or FTP/FTPS
• Profile G allows a compatible recorder to search, replay and retrieve recordings from the phone
• FTP/FTPS sends completed recordings to your own server
• FTPS supports certificate validation for protected transfers
• Profile G and FTP/FTPS archive synchronization require Pro

SMART ON-DEVICE DETECTION
• Object detection powered by on-device AI
• Motion, tamper and classified sound detection with adjustable sensitivity
• Detection zones: define exactly where the camera should watch
• Event history with configurable retention
• Detection runs locally and is published as standard ONVIF analytics events, allowing a compatible recorder to
record, alert or trigger actions
• Smart detection, classification and detection zones require Pro

CAMERA & VIDEO CONTROLS
• Front or back camera, torch and pinch-to-zoom
• Resolution up to 1080p and frame rate up to 30 fps
• Adjustable JPEG quality
• Automatic or locked focus
• Automatic, portrait or landscape orientation
• H.264 or H.265/HEVC encoding
• Optional microphone audio

SECURITY & PRIVACY
• Local-network operation — video is not sent through our cloud
• Username and password are required; there are no default admin credentials
• RTSP Digest and ONVIF WS-Security authentication
• WebRTC uses a camera-specific local certificate
• Credentials are stored encrypted on the device using Android Keystore
• FTP without encryption is restricted to private local-network addresses; FTPS is recommended

PERSONALIZATION
• 18 languages, switchable inside the app
• System, Light and Dark themes
