LocalCamMirror security camera

Use your old Android phone as a private remote security camera — and control it live from another Android phone nearby. No login. No cloud account. Works without internet. Just two Android devices connected directly to each other.

LocalCam Mirror is a simple, privacy-first home security camera and remote video monitor. One phone becomes the camera; the other becomes the viewer and remote control. Live preview, recordings, and motion events stay between your own two devices — we run no servers and never receive your video.

HOW IT WORKS
Set one phone as the Camera and the other as the Controller. The Camera streams a live preview; the Controller lets you watch the feed, start or stop recording, and switch between the front and back camera — all remotely. The phones pair directly over a local connection (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth), so no router, mobile data, or account is required.

FREE FEATURES
• Live camera preview between two nearby Android phones
• Remote camera control from a second device
• Start and stop video recording remotely
• Switch between front and back camera remotely
• Save recordings on the camera phone
• Optionally receive a copy on the controller phone
• Works fully offline over local nearby connections
• No account, login, or cloud setup

MOTION DETECTION PRO (optional subscription)
Turn the camera phone into a smart, motion-activated security camera:
• Instant motion alerts — get a notification the moment movement is detected
• Smart detection — tell a person, vehicle, or animal apart, and choose to be alerted only about people
• Automatic recording — clips are captured automatically when motion starts
• Activity timeline — every event is logged with a thumbnail and video to review later
• On-device intelligence — motion analysis runs entirely on the phone
• Telegram alerts (optional) — forward each alert and its snapshot to your own Telegram channel, so you are notified anywhere, not just nearby. Off by default. You connect your own Telegram bot, photos go straight from your phone to your channel, and we never see them. Needs internet on the camera phone.

Only the phone used as the camera needs Motion Pro. Any controller phone receives the alerts and clips for free.

GREAT FOR
• A home or office security camera
• A baby monitor or nursery cam
• A pet monitor / pet cam
• Watching a front door, entrance, garage, or driveway
• Keeping an eye on a room, desk, crib, or package
• Filming yourself hands-free from a distance
• Simple two-phone camera setups at home, in the studio, or while practicing

WHY LOCALCAM MIRROR
Most phone-camera apps route your video through the cloud and make you create an account. LocalCam Mirror is built for the opposite: a local, offline, private setup. There is no sign-up, your recordings are never uploaded anywhere, and the only thing that can leave your phone is a Telegram alert you switched on yourself.

REQUIREMENTS
• Two Android devices running Android 8.0 or newer
• Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled on both devices
• The two phones must be physically nearby (local connection, not over the internet)
• Optional Telegram alerts need internet and a free Telegram account
• Not available for iPhone

SUBSCRIPTION
Motion Detection Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription (monthly or yearly), with a free trial for new subscribers. Cancel anytime in Google Play. The free version keeps full live preview, remote control, and recording.

Reuse an old Android phone and set up your own private remote security camera in minutes — no login, no cloud, nothing uploaded unless you ask for it.
