EZCam

EZCam turns the phones already in your junk drawer into a private home security system. One phone becomes the camera; your everyday phone (or any browser at ezcam.app) becomes the monitor. No hubs, no subscriptions required to start, and no company servers watching your footage.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Video streams peer-to-peer between your devices, encrypted end-to-end (DTLS-SRTP). When a direct connection isn't possible, our relay forwards only encrypted packets — we cannot see, record, or redirect your video. Recordings stay on the camera phone or sync to storage YOU control.

LIVE VIEW
• Watch any camera live from the app or any browser
• Pinch-to-zoom, plus real sensor zoom (1–8×) — not just digital blur
• Switch between the camera phone's lenses (wide, ultra-wide, tele)
• Two-way talk

SMART MOTION ALERTS
• Motion and sound detection with instant push notifications
• Smart Alerts: the camera phone itself recognizes people, pets and vehicles — alerts say what was seen ("Person detected at Front door"). All on-device: footage never leaves the phone, only the label
• Alert on people only, motion zones, sensitivity control

RECORDING & STORAGE
• Continuous or motion-only recording with retention limits you set
• Playback of event clips right in the app
• Optional sync to your own NAS (SMB) or Google Drive — credentials stay on the camera phone

MADE FOR OLD PHONES
Works on Android 7.0+, tuned for repurposed handsets: battery-aware, runs for months on a windowsill. Free for up to 2 cameras; paid plans add more cameras and unlock smart detection.

Getting started takes five minutes: install EZCam on both phones, sign in, point the camera phone at your door, done.
