your main phone as the live viewer, controller and alert centre. No new
hardware to buy, no wiring, and no monthly fee for the basics.

Phone Ghost gives that forgotten phone in your drawer a new job: a smart home
security camera you can watch from anywhere.

HOW IT WORKS
1. On the old phone, choose CAMERA and place it where you want eyes.
2. On your main phone, choose VIEWER.
3. Pair them in seconds by scanning a QR code — no account, no email, no
password.
That's it. Your old phone is now a live security camera.

WATCH, HEAR, TALK, CONTROL
• Live video streaming from the camera phone
• Live audio — hear what's happening in the room
• Two-way talk — speak through the camera phone
• Switch front/back camera, zoom, and turn on the torch remotely
• Take snapshots and record clips
• Night-friendly viewing modes

SMART ALERTS (ON-DEVICE)
• Motion detection with adjustable sensitivity and watch zones
• Sound detection for loud noises
• Instant notifications for motion, sound, camera offline and low battery
• An activity timeline of every event, with snapshots and clips

KEEP MONITORING WITH THE SCREEN OFF
Set the camera phone down, turn the screen off, and it keeps watching and
streaming in the background. An ongoing notification stays visible the whole
time — nothing is hidden.

PERFECT FOR
• Home security camera
• Baby monitor
• Pet monitor / pet camera
• Elderly family monitoring
• Shop, office or reception camera
• Front-door / entrance camera
• Garage, warehouse or storage monitoring
• A temporary camera for travel or short stays

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Live video streams directly between your two phones (peer-to-peer). We don't
watch it, record it, or sell it.
• Motion and sound detection run on the camera phone itself.
• No account, email or password required — pairing is by QR code.
• Share access with family using a private invite code, and revoke it anytime.
• Delete all your data at any time from inside the app.

MULTIPLE CAMERAS, ONE DASHBOARD
Add several old phones as cameras — living room, baby room, shop, garage — and
watch them all from a single dashboard, with live status, battery and network
for each.

Only monitor spaces, property and devices that you own or are authorised to
monitor, and follow your local laws on recording video and audio.

Give your old phone a new job. Download Phone Ghost and turn it into a security
camera today.
