About this app

See what you care about, anywhere, anytime, for free by turning your Android devices into a video surveillance system.

The ONLY video solution with FREE HD for UNLIMITED CAMERAS!
NO subscription fee for HD
NO software purchase for HD
NO annoying ads

Get started immediately with zero setup and no extra hardware needed - turn your spare smartphone or tablet into a security camera, pet cam, baby monitor, or senior care cam!

YOU GET:
- live video streaming from anywhere
- motion and sound detection with instant alerts
- free storage for recordings with optional cloud backup
- talk back with two-way audio
- 360 coverage with both lenses
- pan, tilt, and zoom

Security made simple:
Unlike expensive, legacy cctv cameras there is no setup required. The camera device is wireless and you don't need a SIM if you are connected to WiFi. The camera device has battery backup and only needs to be connected to a charger for long term operation. In areas with no WiFi the camera device can use 3G/4G. You are free to extend your system with as many camera devices as needed.

Privacy:
Media between the viewer and camera is end-to-end encrypted and signalling is encrypted with TLS using certificate pinning. Recordings are stored locally on the camera device, with optional cloud recording. Your credentials are not accessed by the service and two-factor authentication is supported when using Google or Facebook sign in. With two-factor authentication you can revoke access to the system for any device. You can protect the camera by locking the screen. For extra security, pair the viewer with the camera using Android Beam.

- live streaming

Seems to be a great app, but the camera disconnects after some time on Android 11, maybe the system doesn't let it run in background for very long. You need to try different running in background strategy, like a Foreground service with a notification or ask for permission to paint over other apps. Hopefully you can resolve the issue soon!

All is good and I love the app. However it seems to have some bugs. Sometimes my bluetooth sound is muted at the bluetooth device (speaker/car audio) . When this happens I simply open or close Zuricate a sound is instantly restored. I you don't have unlimited data, be careful you will eat up all your data very quickly. Over all for a free app, I love it . Running 4 Camara around my property.

Thanks Paul! You can set the data usage for live streaming in the viewer with the bitrate slider (quality/bitrate tradeoff). For each camera you can also set the encoding bitrate in the settings to lower data usage.

Was promising, then it wouldn't record lol. Was hoping it was one that would even record if the power goes out. And save to the device. I woulda paid for it. But I had high sens. With motion bla bla bla. Wouldn't record even after I deleted the first recording...and the Pin option is an annoyance. Good app if it was working properly
