WatchCam Camera

WatchCam — Your Camera's Swiss knife, Nothing More.

WatchCam is not a viewer or a client app — it's a lightweight, secure server that runs on your Android device and does exactly one job: transmit live video and accept remote camera control commands. To watch or control the feed, connect any dedicated client from the same network.

🖥️ Server by Design
WatchCam hosts the video stream and control endpoint on your phone. It has just a simple built-in previewing. This keeps the app minimal, efficient, and focused purely on serving the feed.

🔒 Secure by Design
Every connection runs over HTTPS with end-to-end encryption. Authenticate clients with a username/password login or a QR code pairing scan — no exposed credentials, no open access.

📡 What the Server Provides
- Live video transmission over Wi-Fi to selected clients
- Remote snapshot capture, triggered from the client side
- Remote-adjustable FPS, video quality, and zoom
- Multi-client support — several clients can connect to the same server at once

🔧 Typical Uses
- Security camera server for a separate viewer app
- Video source for WatchCam viewers
- Backend for DIY monitoring setups
- Multi-camera server node in a larger network

Experimental:
- Motion detection
- Plan your snaps
- Share to snap

Important Note
WatchCam requires a separate client to view remotely the stream or send control commands. This design keeps the server lightweight and lets you pair it with whatever client tool fits your setup.
