Security Camera: Old Phone

By: VR Moby App
Turn a spare Android phone into a home security camera with motion alerts.

Overview

Features & Capabilities

Turn a spare Android phone into a home security camera in minutes. Put the old phone on a shelf, plug it in, and watch it live from your main phone or from any web browser on the same Wi-Fi.

No cloud, no account, no extra hardware. Video goes directly between your own devices on your home network.

HOW IT WORKS
• On the old phone, choose "Use this phone as Camera".
• On your main phone, choose "Watch my cameras" and scan the QR code.
• That's it: live view, motion alerts and an event list, all on your Wi-Fi.

CAMERA MODE (the old phone)
• Live camera with a LIVE badge, battery level and overheating warning
• Reminder when the phone is not charging
• Motion detection with Low / Medium / High sensitivity
• On motion: a snapshot is saved on the phone and added to the event list
• 10-second motion clips saved on the phone (Premium)
• Low-light mode: brightens dark rooms and reduces noise in software (Premium)
• Dim screen: the display goes black while the camera keeps working
• A notification and the LIVE indicator are always visible while the camera is on

VIEWER MODE (your main phone)
• All your cameras in one list: online / offline and the last motion time
• Add a camera by QR code, or find it automatically on the same Wi-Fi
• Live view with snapshot to your gallery, flashlight and front/back camera switch
• Record a clip on the camera phone from your viewer (Premium)
• Events grouped by day with a filter for motion
• Motion notifications while you are on the same Wi-Fi

WATCH FROM A BROWSER
Open the camera phone's address (for example http://192.168.1.24:8080) on a laptop, tablet or TV browser on the same network. Enter the 6-digit PIN to see the live stream and recent events, and download pictures and clips. Nothing streams without the PIN.

GREAT FOR
• Keeping an eye on pets while you are in another room
• A simple camera for the baby's room
• Front door, hallway, garage or garden shed
• Small shop, office or workshop

PRIVACY FIRST
• Video stays on your local network and is never uploaded to us
• Snapshots and clips are stored only on the camera phone
• 6-digit PIN for every viewer; create a new PIN anytime
• The microphone is never used

FREE
• 1 camera, live view, motion alerts, last 24 hours of events, with ads in viewer mode

PREMIUM
• No ads
• Unlimited cameras
• 30-day event history
• Motion clip recording
• Low-light mode
Choose monthly, yearly (with a 3-day free trial) or a one-time lifetime purchase. Cancel anytime in Google Play.

COMING SOON
• Remote access when you are away from home

TIPS
• Keep the camera phone on the charger and out of direct sunlight
• Remove the case if the phone gets warm
• Both phones must be connected to the same Wi-Fi

Please use the camera only where you are allowed to and respect the privacy of others.
