Security Camera Pro turns the old phone in your drawer into a camera that watches over your pets, your baby, family living apart or your empty home. Leave it on a charger, and when it detects motion or sound, it alerts the phone you carry with a picture. No account needed: on the same Wi-Fi, your phones connect directly.
KEY FEATURES
■ An old phone becomes a security camera
On the camera phone, tap "This phone" → "Start camera". It keeps detecting, recording and streaming with the screen off. On your phone, each camera's card shows its battery and temperature.
■ Motion detection with zones and schedules
Choose the sensitivity and draw on a grid to pick where to watch, so swaying curtains, a TV or cars outside the window are ignored. Set the hours and days to watch, like while you're at work.
■ Sound detection and "Crying only"
Get alerts for noises and voices. "Crying only" reacts to the pitch of a baby's cry and ignores everyday sounds: a baby monitor you can rely on from the kitchen.
■ Alert when nothing moves
Get notified if nothing moves for a set time: useful for an elderly parent living alone or a pet that is usually active.
■ Alerts with a picture
Each detection sends a notification with a snapshot. Tap it to see the event and switch to live video. Set the alert interval per camera; crying and "No motion" always come through.
■ Recording that starts before the event
The camera phone keeps the last few seconds while it watches, so clips start before the moment of detection. Set how long to record before and after, the maximum length and whether to record sound. Quality: 480p, 720p or 1080p.
■ Live view and push-to-talk
Open live video anytime, listen in, or hold the button to speak through the camera phone to your dog or your family. The camera mutes while you talk, so there's no echo. Turn on the light, switch front and back cameras, zoom, or sound a siren. "Audio only" keeps the sound playing with your screen off, ideal for a sleeping baby at night.
■ Always know it's connected
You're alerted if a camera doesn't answer for 90 seconds, when its battery drops to 15% or when it gets too hot.
■ History and recordings
The "History" tab lists events by date with filters for motion, sound, crying and no motion, and marks where the motion was. Play clips, save them to the gallery or share them. Old clips are deleted automatically by age, storage used or free space.
■ Your IP cameras in the same app
Add RTSP, ONVIF or MJPEG network cameras and watch them side by side with your phone cameras on one screen. ONVIF cameras on your Wi-Fi are found automatically.
■ Easy pairing
Scan the QR code on the camera phone or enter the 6-digit code. Cameras on your Wi-Fi are found again if their address changes. You can also watch in a PC or tablet browser with the code.
